It's a fun readable dystopia. The sub-plot of Phoebe and Phoenix's relationship, as he becomes colder and more desperate and murders more people, but hides it from her, is creepy and chilling. The 'incredible swimmers' superpowers are a lot of fun, as they dive off cliffs and surf tidal waves, as is the 'genetically engeneered super children escape and have to survive'. And Kai is sassy and cool when he interacts with the Nebulese police. ( )
