Aside from a few moments where I really didn't believe/need the actions of certain characters (

Spoiler

Micheal becoming a runner, Adam not killing Cara, Dell bringing the collar to the burial

), this was a great story with relatable characters and a fascinating world with just enough detail. The first twist gave the story depth. Warm and engaging sci fi that also dives into some of the complexities of race/origin and how they impact one's lot in life.
