We had to DNF at 30% - it's so bad. The fact that this story about people who “cut” themselves to feel “icy” (aka clear-minded) got past publishers is shocking. Even for 2006 - this book does not hold up well in culture today and I really doubt this was as good as I thought it was even in middle school.
I stand by my theory that Scott Westerfeld had the idea for a story about hover boards and wrote a crappy plot around it for 4 books just because he had a contact in the industry. This is one of the worst book series I've tried to read.
