Shatter City: Impostors 2

Description

'A world full of wonder and menace.' - Jack Heath 'Classic Westerfeld. A wild, edge-of-your-seat ride that will blow your socks off.' - Lili Wilkinson When the world sees Frey, they think they see her twin sister Rafi. Frey was raised to be Rafi's double, and now she's taken on Rafi's role as the first daughter of Shreve... without anyone knowing. Her goal? To destroy her father - the dictator of Shreve. With the world watching and a rebellion rising, Frey flees to the city of Paz, where citizens regulate their emotions through an interface on their arms. But Frey's father has destructive plans even for the City of Peace. Paz is an easy place to get lost... and also an easy place to lose yourself. As the city comes under a catastrophic attack, Frey must leave the shadows and enter the chaos of warfare - because there is no other way for her to find her missing sister and have her revenge against her murderous father. Shatter City continues to explore the struggle for freedom in the Uglies universe with heart-stopping action in the brilliant Impostors series.

'It's hard to do justice to a premise this good, but Scott Westerfeld makes it look easy. Impostors performs a kind of literary judo, flipping you over every time you think you've guessed the next twist. With spy dust, flash tattoos and jump mines, the world is full of wonder and menace. Frey is a damaged, determined and dangerous heroine - I can't wait to read more about her. Overall, Impostors is the best YA I've read in years. Truly dizzy-making!' - Jack Heath 'Impostors is classic Westerfeld - whip-smart and packed with action and feels in equal parts. A wild, edge-of-your-seat ride that will thrill UGLIES fans, and blow your socks off if you're new to this unique take on a dystopian future. Impostors delivers everything we adored about the UGLIES trilogy (hoverboards! explosions!), but with brand new characters, twists, political intrigue and feels.' - Lili Wilkinson
