If dystopian along with not knowing the whole story appeals to you, this is right up your alley. Signature Leif Enger style, within a whole new genre. Fantastic character development and compelling plot.

Some really good pieces in here... but also a lot that sounded the same. Did make me want to get my butt in a chair a start writing, but I don't know that it was a guide to doing so in a creative, focused, and productive way.
