Well, this was certainly mind twisting. It starts out just before the end of the world due to the flies (but not really flies) that eat people and bring the flu, killing off the majority of human life and ends with a new kind of life that was really cool. Certainly not what I expected and I will be thinking about this for a bit, trying to get my head around the concept.

Told in three viewpoints, Nico (traveling with her dog Harry to fulfill her father's plan in the land of Manchester), the Deliverer (an enigmatic being clad in a space suit and has lived many lives), and Kit (a young lad who seems to know things). I like how it didn't immediately have tons of action so that you could get to know and care for the characters. The buildup was good too for the unraveling of all the mysteries. The flies were creepy though and I hope they never show up in this world.

I really liked this book and I am glad it ended the way it did. It was full of hope.
