This was an interesting book. At times it was a bit slow, but I always found myself returning to find out what happened next. I did not find a lot of the editing issues that others mentioned, so it's likely that a new edition has been released with many of those errors corrected.This was a kindle freebie, but I definitely think it's worth the 1.50 that it's currently for sale for on amazon. The author paints a very interesting world, both below and above. The world below is split up into different factions and in some ways strikes me as very 'mad max'. It's nothing particularly new or innovating, but the author makes the characters more than interesting enough to engross the reader.Upstairs is Haven, the fancy place where all the citizens live. We don't get to see a lot of this, only glimpses through the few characters we follow around. Most of them are not particularly interesting, a stark contrast with the characters below. Most of them are a bit cliche, but that changes as the storyline moves along.Overall it's worth a read, and I'm going to be picking up the next one.
