This was quite a good book. I really enjoyed the ideas incorporated along with the dystopian sci-fi setting, though I felt that it fell flat every now and then. In particular, there are times when the characters discuss doing something or an idea is presented to the audience and then it isn't followed through, making me wonder why it was even brought up at all in the first place. I got frustrated by this several times, so to me this was the main flaw. Another thing that I was disappointed in was the fact that there weren't many characters that were truly fleshed out. I had hoped that over the course of the book depth would be added to more of the people surrounding Nemesis, only to be denied. It's not like this hurt the story in a truly significant way, but I believe that it could have been a much more powerful tale if side characters were treated like they were more important since they help drive the narrative forward. I think the story was strongest when it was centered around the relationship between Nemesis and Tyrus (who was my favorite character). I won't give any spoilers about the ending, though I will say that I was disappointed by a certain aspect of it which I felt weakened the finale overall. Still, I really did like this book and will most likely read it again.
