Sixteen-year-old Silver Melody lives in a world where 80% of the population has modified their DNA. Known as the altereds, those people now possess enhancements like wings, tails, and increased strength or intelligence. Although Silver’s parents created the nanite pill used to deliver these genetic modifications, Silver is proud of her unadjusted state.
However, when the president declares all unadjusteds must take a nanite, Silver has no choice but to flee the city with her father and some friends to prevent the extinction of the unadjusteds.
With Silver’s mother in prison for treason, Silver’s father is the unadjusteds’ only hope at finding a cure. But time is running out as Silver’s father is captured by the president’s almost immortal army. Vicious hellhounds are on Silver’s trail, and her only chance to recover her father involves teaming up with a new group of unlikely friends before all humanity is lost.

I was really excited to read this one! As bad as it might seem, dystopians seem to always pull me in…my guilty pleasure. Ths is a very fast paced story with captivating fight scenes that really pulls you in!

 

My favorite aspect of this story was the fact that in a world where everyone changed their DNA to enhance themselves, few stood tall and chose not to. That is difficult to do but what if choosing not to manipulate their DNA change who you were as a person? As a science person, I really love the idea of a society where “upgrades” to your DNA were commonplace. The entire time I was reading, I couldn’t help but think of all the possible moral questions that would coencice with this practice.

 

The one thing that really bothered me regarding the story itself was the lack of background information. How did this begin and why? I want to know more! The world-building was very well done. Although the pages were not as detailed as I preferred, I could clearly picture every scene and detail. I don’t think the lack of detail matters as much since this book really pushed you past each scene and into the other, keeping the fast pace. I still crave more description and details.

 

I did not care for many of the characters but that might be simply because they are all angsty teenagers. I did really relate to Silver though. Some might find her annoying but I grew to care for her in a way. I really liked how despite her parent’s wishes, they did not force the pills on her.

 

This could be a fantastic weekend read. It can be scary reading dystopian with the thoughts that it could happen someday.  Would you take the pill?

 

This is a great read and I am very happy I was given the chance to dive into it. I really look forward to any sequels that are to come. If you enjoy fast paced, action packed, dystopian novels…do not hesitate to pick this one up.
