Partials

by Dan Wells, 480 pages (ARC)

I'm trying to fill the void left by Divergent and The Hunger Games, and this really fits the bill.  It's slow to start, but the twists make it more than worth it.  I felt like I really understood what was happening to the folks left behind on Long Island (although it turns out I had no clue), but I wouldn't have had that without the slow build-up.  And I'm a sucker for imagery, and I still can't stop thinking about the crazy images Dan Wells has conjured in my minds eye.  Way to go!
