just one word: AMAZING.
I really didn't like The Walled City by Graudin and I wasn't expecting to like this book, but I have to say that this story is quite impressive.
A lot of The man in the high castle vibe, but I enjoyed this book more, TBH.
Yael, the main protagonist, is so easy to love and root for. Her story is compelling and all the flashback chapters enriched the story perfectly. Felix is also a quite great and complex character, I hope we'll se more of him in the sequel. I'm not totally sold on Luka tho, I didn't like him much and I never really trusted him. We'll see.
One of the things I appreciated the most about this book is the little amount of romance. With so many things at stake and so many complications I found it refreshing that for once the main protagonist of a YA series is more focused on her goals than on acquiring a boyfriend. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
And now we wait.

Oh and I saw that there's a prequel novella about Luka and Adele, but I'm not so sure I'm gonna read it. Maybe if the waiting for the sequel becomes too excruciating to bear...
