This book presented a not so far off future where lack of resources, climate change and economic disparities have driven society to chaos and violence. 

I thought this book made so many bold choices in character and plot, but it felt like a set up for the second book rather than its own complete story at times. I found it extremely interesting but wondered about some of the choices. I really enjoyed the large variety in characters, the moral issues presented and while the violence of the society was hard, it was very well-written with very specific imagery. 

This is one I may revisit once I read the sequel to see if I think of the story differently.
