<body><p>Another huge compliment to the author: there's no big external element being thrown in here ("save the world", "You're a special Hybrid that suddenly everyone wants", "Hybrid being used for top secret government experiments", etc.), it's just a bunch of people trying to deal with the hand they've been dealt with, leaning on each other for support but ultimately making their own decisions over their life. For all the books I've read, I'm not sure I've ever read a story quite like this. Even though we kinda know what will happen to Lyall, we still want to know what it'll be like and how he'll get there.</p></body>
