The western United States has become "The Republic" and it is involved in a longstanding war with the its neighbors. High society teen prodigy June is destined for a pampered life as one of the elite serving in the Republic's military. In contrast, teen outlaw Day is a on the run from the authorities and trying to keep both himself and his family alive in the poorest district filled with plague fears. There is good world building here of a society post climate change catastrophes that have reshaped the world into new city states trying to survive with the United States no longer any kind of super power. The characters are well rounded and have you rooting for them from the start even though they fall a little bit into some young adult literature cliches along the way. Definite recommend.
