| Why to Read: | This manuscript stands out in a world filled with dystopian YA novels, as it grounds its story in a realistic and familiar future with a compelling protagonist. This is a story centered on complex characters, presented in a new and interesting way. The protagonist is the kind of role that any young actress would love to play in an adaptation, a science prodigy who must look inside to pull the various aspects of herself back together – it’s the kind of role that launches a career. This is a thematic and dramatic goldmine, one which prioritizes the personal, intellectual, and emotional elements over loud explosions and contrived rebellions. To top that all off the writing is superb, with a strong voice and realistic dialogue that capitalizes on its fantastic premise at every turn. |
