Wooow, Are we gonna survive the flip ?? it worries me you know!!!!

I have to admit that I haven't read a sci-fi book in years because I lost interest, but I found this book different I liked the idea of the Flip that is when the planet's magnetic poles flipped, and everything became toxic to humans. In orer to survive the privileged humans (Leeches) are to live overground and Dwellers (Miners) are bred to work for them or they won't eat. The whole concept was new to me, usually we see alients, space pirates stuff like that in sci-fi.

Through the book we follow Fin, Lacy and Drape who are Dwelleres that work the mines when Fin stumbles upon a gene modifing device when trying to stealing sth from the shippment that the Leeches send to EHC. Fin activated the device by accidant and she become mentally advanced. Now the EHC is after them.
THis book was so fast-paced I flow through it though I found it dificult at the start to make a clear view of the world and the background of the story (History). definatly considering to check the sequal.

I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

All in all, I loved the idea of reversed racism (the opressor became the opressed) in other word, changing the equation of racism from WHITE--BLACK to BLACK--WHITE and how the author succeeded to portray that in a way none had done before which was the winning point for this book. I liked the characters' relationships and I thought they were well built, I just wanted to see a little more about other characters in the book (Update: we get to see that in the upcoming books in the series) . Even the characters that we are supposed to hate I liked their existence which served this purpose of this book. I loved the plot twists they really kept me going but at the same time fearing to flip ...
