This is part one of a longer story that is broken up into five parts. The story revolves around a post apocalyptic society that is run by a group known as The Fatherhood, who has shunned the use of metal, as it is a substance responsible for the near destruction of humanity, and claims to uphold the word of God. The main character, Wills, is a timid kid who toes the line, for the most part, but deep down feels as though there is more going on than The Fatherhood is telling. His best friend, Maze, is a girl who does not hesitate to go against the tenets of this society, and will take risks to get at the truth.

The story is well written and I enjoyed the interaction between these two characters, especially Wills' uncertainty when it comes to following Maze as she runs head first into didn't situations. The author got right into the meat of the story, which I appreciated. As the first of five parts, this ended in a cliffhanger, but I didn't find this upsetting since the author did well to present enough of the story to pull me in and generate enough interest that I will absolutely continue on with the rest of the story.
