I am not sure where the author is going with this series but I am certainly along for the ride.  We have great characters, cool powers and a genuinely scary situation.  I know this may be directed at the YA crowd, of which I am not a member, but some of the action and images are very disturbing, but then I thought the same thing about The Hunger Games, too.  The kids certainly know their weapons, and there are some useful disaster survival bits scattered through the story.  I can't wait for the next book, as this one seemed too short even though it packed a lot of story in a fairly small package.
