A futuristic sci-fi dystopian love story set against a revolution for the very art and soul of a society and culture. I found parts of the story a bit of challenge in the middle, but I think that might have been the fact that it was an audio version. I believe if I had been reading I wouldn't have issues about the middle. I like that the love triangle wasn't really a confrontational but a love understood among friends. I started to wonder if the Enki was up to something grander but was still very surprised about the ending and enjoyed the conclusion immensely.
This has been on TBR for awhile and I was inspired to read this as it was Jenny Colvin's (Reading Envy) TBR shelf as well. I am writing this review to honor her.
