I enjoyed the dueling dystopian worlds, but felt the tension and structure of the protagonist's world was a little off kilter. Like, a big piece of the story is kids being sent off on an Ordeal--a harrowing challenge that kills many of them. I expected that to tie back into the plot in a bigger way than it did, which made the conclusion feel a little flat. Still a good book, though.

The fact that this book is about psychics who view any desire for solitude (mentally, spatially) as aberrant is giving me hives. I need a solid 14 hours of solitude a day.

This is like my favourite kind of book to read. A 1980's YA coming of age story set in a post apocalyptic society that has developed telepathic powers?! HECK YEAH! #ya #yalit #scifi #1980's #eightiesfiction #oldcovers #uglypretty
