Beau roman a travers les yeux d'un enfant immigrant au Quebec. Les hauts et les bas de vivre au Quebec, l'intégration, comprendre les mots “jouale” mais surtout ce livre porte le terme de la famille. Bien exécuté

2.5 stars, was not what I expected. Very weird and confusing.

After an toxic gas named Variant, the world is destroyed and the remaining people are living underground. Set in the futur after the catastrophy, they rely on a group of «Mothers» who are tested at a Young age to repopulate the world. Maya is one of their top «Mothers» and one day she agrees to carry a child without knowing anything about the father. Her son Terry is not like the others, he's altered. On 7th birthday, he's happy because he's going to his first day of school. What he doesn't know is that the moment he sets foot in the school he's staying for the next 10 years to be trained as a soldier. The most bizarre is that a lot of kids are also celebrating the same birthday as him and are selected to become soldiers too.
As the years go by , we see them grow up, trained and educated all part of the of the plan to try to go back to the surface.

It was a really great story, well written and the mystery and suspense made you want to read more of the book. The ending does not disappoint.

I bought this book on sale thinking it was going to be a simple love story, I was wrong. I got sucked into it and was hard to put down. Great story can't wait to read the next one.

This book was all over. Too many characters. I feel the main story was lost and didn't have the climax of revenge. Disappointed.
