I absolutely love dystopian stories, both written and otherwise. There are some wonderful ideas propping up this novel, but many of them are never acted on. And those that are...the packaging is just too poorly done to truly be able to enjoy. From numerous language issues including typos and errors to the fact that this was originally written in separate stand-alone parts and smashed together to form one book, it was a struggle to read.

Technical issues aside, this also hit way too many personal pet peeves: unreliable narrator, lengthy dream or vision sequences, numerous redundancies, and not a single character I really connected with. Written in first person, the pov character was whiny as well as tipping one way or another on either being clairvoyant for no reason (sometimes there was a reason) or grossly incompetent.
