I'm glad I read Ambition (prequel) to this story first.  It gave me a good taste of the series and actually made me more involved in it.  If I hadn't read it, I might have given up reading this series after the first few chapters because the book did take a little while to roll into action.  I understand it was all for character build-up, but I think it could have been made a little more concise.  I strongly encourage that you keep on reading even if you find the start slow because it DOES get better and more action packed towards the end.Zoe is a good strong female character and I love her dedication at finding out the truth behind her brother's disappearance.  Sure, she's a little stupid and reckless but Noah is there to bail her out of trouble.  They are able to uncover a lot even though they need to work through all sorts of hoops and hazards that block their path.  In the meantime, their relationship to each other grows into something more then the hatred over their differences they started off with.The environment is beautifully built.  The GAP's do indeed receive all the privileges while the Naturals live in lower income situations.  There is a clear dystopian struggle.The storyline flows nicely, minus the slow start.  Soon enough the stealthiness of Noah and Zoe comes out and the action just ramps up the pace steadily.  I can't wait to get started on book 2 and hope it continues the fast-paced action.
