Fits well with the rest of the series too. As a warning people who like to shy away from the darker themes like drug addiction and rape probably won't be happy reading this.Ĭover: I like the cover. The Droughtlands and Triskelia are quite well explained although I would like more details on the Keylands. So while I wasn't completely happy with the characters, the logistics of the world held up quite well. I found Seth's sudden burst of compassion a little out of character compared to the death he orchestrated at the beginning of the book. Seth is a violent bully, however he manages to be morally sound than most of the guard.

Of course he seems more likable in comparison to his evil twin Seth. He takes quite a while to deprogram (he is homophobic towards another character). I found Eli to be slightly overdone as an underdog type character (he is overly meek and far more naive than his twin).

Eli is of course the sensitive character who makes the realization that society isn't perfect. The setting doesn't initially seem that out there but has the full discovery quite quickly. Twin brothers Seth and Eli Maddox are Keylanders brought up within the privileged and protected Eastern Key. Thoughts: While dystopian books are usually awesome this was lacking. Seth joins the Keyland guards who aim to rid the world of Droughlanders, and Eli whose eyes have been opened by his mother, aims to join the Droughlanders secret organization determined for equality between the two classes. They have learned to remain in their cities away from the Droughtlands, barren patches of land filled with poverty and "sicks". Summary: Eli and his brother Seth live in the Keylands.
