Welcome to Litsy!

Perusing my shelves and I found this cute duology! The premise is that it‘s the year 2788, and only the handicapped live on Earth, making our main character whos immune system can‘t survive on other planets an “ape” girl or a “throwback”. BUT she is determined to prove her worth by hacking into the military system and joins an excavation team full of “norms” exploring old cities, to show the others she is worth more than being thrown away. 🌎

This book is such a hidden treasure! It‘s one of a kind. I can‘t not put it down!

This book is not a good book. It deals with internalized racism in the Guise of a world with multiple species, including several species of humans. I don't know something about it just didn't sit right.

My immune system can‘t survive anywhere other than Earth. I‘m in prison, and it‘s a life sentence.

This was a fun read, but the author definitely subscribes to the "more is more" maxim. From the fantabulously accomplished heroine to the over-the-top ending. Edwards is making a solid point about discrimination, but there are too many cherries on top and not enough cake.

"You'd have see it to understand, but it was seriously zan. We were all grazzed to discover Keon actually had some talent."
I am only on page 22, but the let's-create-futurism-by-adding-random-slang-words-with-the-letter-z is really annoying me.
Am I too old for this book?
