When access to food needs to be a motivating factor, it is scarce and people fight over it, but as soon as it is on longer needed to drive the narrative, food is plentiful and never a concern. Whilst one could be forgiven for not expecting a book such as this to be rooted in realism and consistency, but the nature of the world continually fluctuates to suit the purpose of the individual story arc, which for me at least, continually dragged me out of the story. Whilst nothing in this story was poorly executed or bland, neither did it ever fully live up to the potential the book had just screaming to come out. I would certainly love the chance to pen 60 issues of content with this premise to work with. The concept is massively interesting and allows for an almost endless array of possibilities and storylines to explore. Another book that I am rather conflicted on.
