Publisher Description

AVERY PIKE is a commodity. No, more than a commodity. Her existence is guarded at all costs.


She's a water Elementalist, the strongest of her dwindling kind. She creates steam to provide energy to fuel Dome Four: the only thing standing between humanity and an earth ravaged by World War III. No steam, no Dome. No Dome, no life.


Or so she thinks.


That is, until a mysterious man offers her a way out of having to donate steam. A way to escape the corrupt government of Dome Four. While the offer seems too good to be true, Avery is intrigued. But when she arrives to her new home, she realizes the grass isn't any less dead on this side of the fence. Instead, the lies are just hidden better.


...Which means digging deeper.


When Avery enlists the help of her friends to uncover the truth, she learns that while some secrets are better left concealed, humankind was never meant to live in a cage. And when you can control the most sought after resource, you can learn to control anything...including the fate of your world.

Dystopian Fix yes

Great Read I like the way the title comes together at the end.

Uhm!!

What do I say? I started this so long ago, stopped, then decided to add it to my Goodreads “Currently Reading” & from there I went through several phases of adding and then un-adding and removing from my piles.

I just didn’t like the book at all.. the beginning or first half of the book was all over the place for me and I have to admit, I did like the storyline a little but the writing was just all over the place.

I most definitely will NOT be reading the second book!!!

Unlikable Characters, Predictable Plot

It's a bog-standard dystopian with a bit of magical flavoring. None of the characters were particularly interesting or likable, and the love interest especially was an utterly boring stereotypical "bad boy" type. It was no challenge at all to see where the plot was going, and I had no desire to follow the characters to its conclusion.

About the only thing I can say for it is that the writing itself is fairly competent. DNF.
