POV – Arcadia
Would I read it again – Yes
** COPY RECEIVED THROUGH NETGALLEY **
This was a great addition to the series and a little more serious than some of the frivolous and pointless action/lingering that had been going on before. There's no chest-beating here, between irresponsible teenagers vying for attention, just the clinical, logical thought of a machine called Arcadia.
The premise of this episode is to offer us more information, yet it still leaves me with more questions than answers. However, I'm really glad to see that although we get to see various characters through Arcadia's eyes, we don't linger on the reckless, rude Inez, the romances or the unimportant people that are just lingering around in the vain belief that they're safe.
Once again, Holden is a shining light even when it's not his POV. His sense and his heart speak for itself.
I'm really glad that “In times of emergency, Arcadia is authorized to identify a deputy city manager.” Maybe if she does that, the group will realise how stupid and reckless they've been with themselves and those they've lost and finally wake up to reality.

Favourite Quote
“The decision has been difficult, but finally Arcadia choose the child she will contact. The one who is stepping outside, who is not preoccupied with himself or with his peers. The others are laughing, singing, enjoying their holiday ritual, but one has turned his back on that in favor of serious contemplation. One is asking the right questions.”
