I don't know where to start. Wow, are you freaking kidding me? GJ Winters, you're awesome. I am not interested in science fiction; in fact, I easily get bored with this genre. I don't know, whenever I hear the word 'science', it really scares me because – well – I got a C in high school when I got very low marks on my final exam (one of the most unpleasant moments of my life). Back to the topic, so yeah, I don't like science fiction – until I've read the first installment of Children of Two Futures, called The Riddle, by GJ Winters.Lucky for me, I have enough background in anything science-related (Misfits and Doctor Who counts, right?) so I kind of have a refresher before I started reading this series. Anyways, I really love the characterization of Savannah Proehl and Kenneth Yardrow here in this book. Makes me wonder what I'll do if I'm in their position. The world introduced in this book is explained in such a flawless manner (I don't really know if the author is fascinated with dystopia too but I kind of felt it here so it's a plus for me). Plus, it's interesting to read what our future may be. I wish I could live for more than a hundred, if not thousands of years, but it won't happen because let's face it – we should live in reality. I don't care though, I can read what I want and it just so happens that I love this one. I can't wait to read the 2nd and 3rd (I'm not sure if there's further books to be honest) installments GJ! Congratulations!
