Wow! Just... wow!!

The quiet bleak desperation and need to survive, even if it causes them to do things that would have seemed impossible before that point comes through very nicely. I loved the understated menace here. Usually, when I think of dystopia stories, I expect to read something with lots of torture and pain for Harry and his friends. This, however, shows us that dystopia can exist anywhere, and in any form. It gives an entirely new meaning to the saying, "Life is what you make of it."
