Dystopia. Politics and subterfuge hiding a secret that you piece together within the first 75 pages, and you've got 400+ to go. Unfinished or hastily concluded plot lines: 1. the uprising ends as quickly as it begins (collapsing into not much more than crowd control on behalf of the rulers), and the severe loss of life (in terms of personalities lost), while shocking, can't make up for what the build up to the civil war seemed to promise; 2. Juliette abandons Solo (a developmentally stunted manchild) and a bunch of children to raise themselves in a remote silo, which is justified through the explanation that the experience caused Solo to develop into a responsible adult in a matter of hours.

Compelling enough that I finished it. I'm working my way through the next book in the series (Shift). It's rough. If it weren't for wanting to read along with family, I wouldn't bother.
