Trigger warnings: Experimentation, imprisonment
Looks like it's going to be full of action.
Update: 6/10, this felt more like a middle-grade than a YA novel, due to the writing style, the only thing making this book YA was the violence and the language. Most of the book was just pointless action scenes, the plot was very simple for a book like this, it's just some winged people living their lives in the City of the Dead, then they find out where Max is, and then try to stop the cartoonishly evil government figure called McCallum, and that's it, however, his backstory could be explained in the other books in the series I haven't read yet. The plot only picked up around the last 100 pages, and the ending was so unsatisfying, they realised McCallum was actually a person called Major Panda, and there's some bigger organisation controlling him. Also, why are so many people in the City of the Dead addicted to dope? If you want a better sci-fi book, try the Hunger Games series since it has just as much action as this book.… (more)

I read this some time ago and remember enjoying it. But I don't love it enough to keep it.
