Punishment for disobeying SCI edicts? Immediate Exile or death.

Meet Blake Sundry. Bitter about being raised in Exile and his mother's death, Blake's been trained to infiltrate and destroy the SCI. Current barrier to success? His Recruit partner--Miss Goody Two Shoes Kira Donovan.

Meet Ethan Darcton. Born with a defective heart and resulting inferiority complex, Ethan's forced to do his SCI elite family's bidding. Cleave-worthy Kira Donovan catches his eye, but the presiding powers give defect-free Blake Sundry first dibs.

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Maybe if I were younger, I would have found this book more interesting. The problem I see is, a "mirror planet" full of teenagers, young people having sex "cleaving" and translucent, predicitable storylines hold no interest for me. It felt as if it was too much time spent creating this new "world" in your mind and not enough time on the actual story. I found it dull.
