This groundbreaking new novel from one of the genre's most respected authors is a thrilling mix of science, magic and politics. In Harmony, only model citizens are welcome. A perfect society must be maintained. The defective must be eradicated. For orphans like Nico and Twostar, this means a life that's brutal, regulated and short. But Nico and Twostar are survivors, and when they're offered a way out of the slums, they take it. Unfortunately, no one told Nico the deal included being sentenced to death for the murder of one of Harmony's most notorious gang leaders. Or that to gain his freedom, first he must lose his mind.

Nico and Twostar are orphans who grew up in the underbelly of the society of Harmony. The story starts with Nico being sentenced to death and then goes back for a bit to see what brought him to this point. It's complex and twisty and afterwards I'm still not sure what happened there. Nico and Twostar are interesting characters. The whole thing is told from Nico's point of view, which is complex, and he keeps having to deal with complex messy issues that he has very little control about.
It brings out interesting issues about autonomy and independence and about people being true to themselves. (
