I enjoyed this book, and it had some very unique features as far as alluding to what would happen to the characters in the future and had happened to them in the past. I was reading it at a slow pace and found that it was a little hard to remember who was who each time I picked up the book. I found the characters to be nicely developed and quite conflicted. It was eye-opening to see the way humans were regarded sheerly as property.
