This is the first in a planned trilogy, which I announce triumphantly. That's because I can't wait for the next installment. I'm getting ahead of myself, though. Ms. Carey's twist on dystopian America is fascinating. The world is not good - and people react predictably: some with superstition, some by snatching power, but some with courage and fortitude. Eve's background is the same as many teens in this world - she is on the cusp of adulthood. Finding to her horror that the propaganda she has been fed for most of her childhood is deception, Eve makes a choice with far-reaching consequences. One of the best I have read in quite a while.
