This novella answered many questions left from Enclave. I have long wondered about Twist's parting words to Deuce and what became of her brat mates. I also though how could they not believe in her and turn their backs on her.
The revolution and freak attack were rather enlightening about the true nature of several characters.
It was great to see the reactions of Stone, a big strong Breeder who is not too bright, and Thimble, a clever builder who has a physical handicap. They each face the situation differently but show great strength and perseverance.
I loved having their story told and the things they went through to survive. I would have loved more to the story. This would be great as a spin off to Duece's story. I loved the hope and courage both characters displayed.
This was more of a beginning and it would be amazing to compare how differently they go out into the world.
