Hunter and Uma are completely different but they soon prove that they are good team as they are forced together to help stop the Kossaks and protect the people of the Favelas. They fight for what’s right and as fuel runs out they must try and save everything they believe in. This novel follows the two brave teenagers as their love for ‘jumping’ and their determination carries them through their struggle to find the new keeper.
Right from the start I was drawn into this book as the plot was interesting and Lloyd grabbed your attention straight away. However it took a while for me to grasp the situation London was in. The constant action keeps your pulse racing and the storyline stays strong throughout the book. Lloyd addresses the issue of fuel running out and gives you an idea of what Britain could be like if we don’t change it.
Both Hunter and Uma were delightful characters with alarmingly different personalities. Uma, from the slums, is experienced and tough and although Hunter, from the city, is brave, he is sometimes caught out by his lack of knowledge regarding Uma’s life. Overall I enjoyed this novel, exciting, energetic and extreme!
