 Wow. 
 So... I don't read much dystopian, simply because all of the dystopian books I want to read, I don't have. BUT this went on sale a while back and I actually had money on Amazon *cue gasps* so I got it. And boy am I glad I did!!! 
 The Good 
 This world is small... in this book, at least. It was delicately, extraordinarily developed, and I absolutely loved it. Or hated it. Not sure. But Krista McGee did an AMAZING job with this world, and the characters. The characters were just awesome. I didn't fangirl over any of them like Jace and Kyrin in the Ilyon Chronicles, but they were really interesting, especially Thalli. Poor, poor Thalli. 
 THAT ENDING, THOUGH. I mean, I REALLY REALLY NEED THE NEXT BOOK. (view spoiler)[I can't wait to see what's going on in the outside world, and WHAT. The scientists set this whole thing up??? Why did they even go to all that trouble? They could've just as easily forced them all onto an escape pod and sent them out. Idiot scientists. Ah well. (hide spoiler)] 
 The Bad 
 Some of the stuff was a little farfetched, even for a dystopian, and the romance was a little flat to me. Mostly physical and feelings, nothing "real" or amazing. Some of the sciency stuff is a little confusing, but not too bad. 
 The Ugly 
 Some touchy-feely romance, but nothing more than kissing. Quite a bit of violence scattered throughout, but not too bad. 
 Overall, this is a GREAT read, and I really liked it, and I'm TOTALLY reading the next book. As soon as I can get my hands on it, that is...
