While this was undeniably fun to read, it had some serious flaws. Most notably, the complete lack of believability of the way that the dystopian society is structured. I kept asking myself why the “factionless” just meekly go off to live on the fringes of society, doing menial work for the rest of their lives. Why don't they rise up and form their own faction? And what happens to their children, are also factionless through no fault of their own? The book is plagued by inconsistencies like these.
