We live encapsulated by the trains. They go around in a perfect oval at all hours, stopping for thirty-five seconds in each section So the commuters are able to board and depart. Beyond the tracks, after the fence, there's sky. Engineers crafted a scope so they can see the ground below us. We can see tall buildings and other sorts of trains--some of which disappear underground or rise onto bridges. We can see patches of cities and towns that appear like one of Lex's blankets.

Great excerpt...love the cover, too!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a big fan of this Lauren DeStefano book, but I hope you enjoy. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am very attracted to this book cover. I think I recognize the author but not sure if she writes YA or adult.
ReplyDeleteNot the sort of book I usually read, but interesting - the future sounds disturbing.
ReplyDeleteThat's some cover art.I'm curious if this is a dystopian.
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like something wicked is going on.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. I read the first one in her Chemical Gardens series but haven't had the chance to read the rest. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover! The teasers are really intriguing. It makes me wonder just what the world the characters are inhabiting is like. Hope you enjoy the read!
