I want to like this book so much but it failed me. It is again the old, stereotype about heroes - Doon and Lina are very one-dimensional characters. The whole concept of the city seems good but I found it really ridiculous about the Assignment Day, what kind of city allot jobs randomly to its people? Shouldn't they just wait to see what jobs most suitable for who then let the child do that job? 
 The children-save-the-world thingy is too mediocre.
