Another day, another YA dystopian piece of crap trying to be vogue. I didn't find it poetic, I found it frustratingly badly written in a voice that seemed skitzophrenic at best. A hint at mystery from a Government Man (capital letters so you know he means business) and an obvious collection of circus "freaks" with some steampunk bits glued to them. Possibly an interesting premise but with writing and a POV like that, who can really tell.
