Summary: 3 Stars
The newest book in the Uglies series, this one takes place in Japan a few years after Tally has freed the planet from the mind control it was under. This book follows Aya Fuse, a kicker in Japan. Since the mind rain, Japan has leapt into advancing itself in as many ways as possible to make up for the fact that for 3 centuries there was very little advancement. They are set up on a system of popularity, the more popular you are; the better everything you have is. Thus we have different groups: Kickers look for new stories to report, to kick. Tech-heads: people that made new technologies and showed them off. Surge-monkeys: People that liked to change the way they looked constantly. Reputation Bombers: Cliques that would chant a member's name as much as possible to get the member's number up. NeoFoodies: Those that made up new food and new ways of eating them. The more you are paid attention to, the higher your number goes.
Aya is doing a story on a new group, one that wants to stay under the radar: the Sly Girls. Aya saw them mag-lev riding on the trains one night and wants to find out more about them. To do so, she becomes a part of the group and uncovers something a lot bigger then a group of girls doing tricks. It looks like a group of people are using the old hollowed out mountains that were made to protect world leaders, to bulid something. Something that looks an awful lot like missiles the Rusties had in their time.
I like this series, it's interesting and I look forward to seeing if there's going to be more.
