First in the Partials Sequence trilogy, YA post-apocalyptic story. Liked the concept a lot, liked the science aspects. Kira is a good protagonist, the other teens are fairly nondescript - I barely remembered who each of them were during the book. The adults are only there to get in the way of the kids, no character development at all. I liked Kira's determination to find a cure but it would have been better to know why she had any chance of succeeding after 11 years of failure from the establishment. Her reasoning seemed very obvious, so you wonder why the adults never tried it. Liked the interaction with the Partial. As a YA book I think it succeeds, but as an adult who's read a lot of these, I wasn't excited enough. Wells gives us a nice plot twist toward the end, but I decided I'm not into it enough to go on.
