It was okay. I really liked the Uglies, this story wasn't exactly "un-putdownable" for me. 
 The beginning really drew me in. The ending was kind of sad, but didn't have much of an impact on me. 
 The world-building had a small impact on the story. Just take the world right now, add in some futuristic technology, and there it is. 
 The setting didn't have a really huge impact on the story either, like it impacted the Hunger Games (I guess Control is dystopian) or the 5th Wave. It's probably mostly because the government (or the authority) is very oppressive and have a huge impact in both HG & 5th Wave. But in Control, the government/ruling power/authority has just faded into the background, the "antagonist" side being a group that takes advantage of these mutants. I'm not sure if it's a relief from the typical dystopian story, or if it just messed up the story big deal. 
 I still liked it all the same, and I hope I could read the sequel.
