This is one of the better written dystopian stories out there, in my opinion. It had sort of a Legend feel with some other things mixed in. The main character, Sydney, is sometimes too smart for her own good and she tends to act before thinking, but she's an eighteen year old girl. We've all been there.
The storyline is set in 2033 when the United States has been replaced by an unpleasant government that seeks to control human population and has different sections caged in so that outsiders cannot come in and insiders cannot leave. Fortunately for Sydney, she has found a way out, but she doesn't want to leave until she has guardianship over her little sister, Evvie. Unfortunately, she does not think much about her microchip's GPS capabilities and ends up with the black-ops on her tail.
Once outside, Sydney discovers a pleasant atmosphere. It isn't technologically advanced like the county she escaped from, but people actually have humanity left in them and treat each other with kindness. Her happiness is short lived when the black-ops figure out where she and her sister are hiding. Sydney must work together with her new found friends to try and find a way to stay safe from the county government.
Along the way, there are some surprises and mysteries that develop that keep the book entertaining and action-packed throughout every page. I did not want to stop reading once I had started this. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series because this one ended in a cliffhanger that kept me wanting more.
