I think this was a 3.5 star book but I'm rounding up to 4 as Goodreads still doesn't do halves!

Anyway, all in all this was a good book. I read it in about 2 sittings so it certainly kept me interested and gripped enough, however as it was fairly short I did feel some aspects were lacking a bit of explanation or background. I also didn't really connect with any of the characters so wasn't particularly bothered by some events which impacted them.

Finally, the ending didn't really provide any closure which I suppose the author was going for as the whole book seemed to be more of a snapshot of the ongoing situation. Whilst I don't think there is really an opportunity for a sequel, I don't think he meant to give us closure. We are left wondering if the future is that bleak.

As said, all in all I did enjoy this quick and enthralling read, I think I would have just preferred a few more details to have been fleshed out more.
