Summary: I'm very disapointed
Review: _ For a normal author, I'd say this book is excellent. But this book happened to be written by one of my favorite authors. Margaret Peterson Haddix is a remarkable writer who posseses a great talent in her field of work. The first four books in the Shadow Children Series were wonderful, as are all of Margaret Peterson Haddix's previous books. I felt, however, that this one just failed to live up to the excellence of it's precedors. I blame this mainly on the pressure which the author was under to finish. This aside, there were many aspects of this book which I liked.
_ I really liked that it was narrated in the perspective of Trey. It gives the readers a bit of change, considering how many of the books were narrated in the perspective of Luke. Also, this was the first of the books that made the Population Police seem more like natzis than police. Actually, this was the first book where they were like natzis, considering that the government in this book switches from dictatorship to fascism. Anyways, I'm disapointed with Margaret Peterson Haddix, but this book was certaintly good, especially compared to many other young adult books.
