The narration in the story skips between three character: Leaf the practical and reliable son of the Earth Element who has lived his whole life in the dome, Willow aka Oakley the fiery impetuous younger sister to Leaf, and Fillion (named after the actor who just so happens to star in one of my most favorite show- Firefly- I loved this random reference thrown into the story!) the rebel hacker who lives adrift in the futuristic world. The clash between the two elements made for some interesting interactions and ideas that I had never thought of before. The idea of the book was also really creative and unique, a simple society with no technology or advancements bubbled safely within a futuristic society with the most advanced of technology. Everything was so descriptive, yet at times I feel like the detail overwhelmed me and the plot transitions were lacking. The author has a poetic writing style, very descriptive and flowery, creating a vivid imagery that came to life for the reader. The story was interesting and very complicated, with some surprise twists and secrets. These three teens from very different worlds will soon cross paths even though they don't know it yet. But instead of jail time, he is informed of a secret, one he will now be part of. On the outside of their hidden world, Fillion is disinterested in his life, just waiting the days until he will be sentenced for his hacking crimes. Little do they know, but they are really part of a bigger secret- with too many lies and hidden purposes that the siblings may not be able to live up to. When Leaf and Willow's father suddenly dies, they are adrift as to what will happen next. Genre: Another-World, Mystery, Romance, Royal-Court, Teen- “Are you ready to discover what is real?”
