Really, I would've hit her if it wasn't for the fact that she wasn't real. However, I think some of the characters could have been a little more developed but Lissa, Lin and Cadan were all well-developed enough I just hoped to see more of why Lissa's mother was so evil in the sequel so I wouldn't have to hate her so much for being so selfish. There were fast-paced climactic scenes riddled through almost every other chapter and the bog secret revealed at the end was a satisfying one. I loved Lissa's voice in this story, it was relatable and rather than showing Lissa as this innocent, selfless, courageous heroine it showed just a normal teenage girl who had been forced into a situation that terrified her. The history of Sekoia, Lissa's home planet, and the other planets, galaxies and how the Universe was run made this book far more real than most dystopian books that focus on just where the character lives rather than the bigger picture of things. The dystopian setting of this story was brilliantly detailed, right form slide walks and gravity control to SFI ships and nutrimachines you could picture every detail brilliantly. But when a girl who looks identical to Lissa shows up with new information about a telepathic connection and the power of electrokinesis, Lissa realises her visions are part of something much bigger… At first it seems like a good idea, scary, but still a way to be normal again, or at least less of a freak than she already is. Most of the doctors she has been to have been no help, but a new one comes up with a frightening yet far more certain solution: to burn out the cells in her brain that he believes is causing these visions to physically hurt her.
