More like 3 and ½ stars, but I'm giving it a benefit of the doubt. I liked the story of Peri and her struggle to find out who she really is. Still, the setting – close-future USA – bothers me. Releasing a deadly race-specific virus in Africa is a crime, but releasing a deadly virus in Asia is apparently OK, because the UN said so (and they asked for it by not agreeing to limit CO₂ emission)...
Am I the only one who wanted to strangle Flavia's father? He loved Harriet so much that he would rather part with her house then with one very valuable book, because they have signed it together? Aaaargh.
An extra star for the excellent Saint Nick trap. Read and learn, Bob Howard! ;-)
Sadly, no unicorns. A FHK-style unicorn would probably earn an extra star ;-)
