Tally is back in the city and she's had the operation. She and Shay are back to being friends and now she has a new love interest Zane. So, what we have here is that really annoying set up where the girl bounces indecisively between to guys. Mind you, there hasn't been too much bouncing yet, but the seeds have been sown and it's become a trend in YA fic.
I think what slowed me down was how bizarrely cerebral it got. Not bad, or even slow, just very thought heavy. It's strange to me that how distinct this series is managing to be. It's not perfect. The relationship between Tally and Shay, for example, doesn't really work for me. Some of the "plot twists" are incredibly obvious to me.
However, the world is interesting. It does seem like a logical response to the mistakes society seems determined to make today. I can't imagine the set up lasting so homogeneously for so long though. After all, purposely brain damaging the majority of the population is bound to make people get a little feisty.
Of course, the dang thing ended on a cliff hanger.
I'm going to go ahead and dive into the next book, to see how it goes.
