Review:

The thing that quirked my curiosity about the book, was it's unique idea surrounding a dystopian society. The thing that kept me reading, was the fact that the author uses regular cliffhangers.

The plot evolves quickly as everything bad that could possibly happen is thrown Byrne's way. The action is hair-raising and the author doesn't let Byrne up easily. I like this because it's so different from the clichés.

The settings are thoroughly described to convey the sense of poverty that the community struggles through - and very much in contrast to Nano Depth where Site A's technology is developed.

Byrne/Kiera is very naïve. She trusts Farhan too easily, only to realise too late that she shouldn't have (and even then, she listens to Farhan). Of course, she doesn't learn from this mistake and accepts help from Rafe to get to the station.

I found several mistakes in grammar. I suggest the author edits or asks someone to edit the book.
