A glossy, well-written tale that holds a lot of promise, which has grown on me the longer I've thought about it.

In a post-apocalyptic Paris that is almost but not quite unrecognisable, the Co-operative clings on by adhering to a strictly regulated society. Citizens are conditioned from birth to accept their lot; unorthodoxy is punished.

When Peacekeeper Anaiya is asked to go undercover to find the source of an outbreak of Heterodoxy, it means being reconditioned and losing her very self. Will she be able to cling to her mission or will her new nature lead her astray?

This is a well-executed dystopia with some intriguing world-building and clever use of prose (it's worth paying close attention to the use of language, which evolves as Anaiya changes). While it never quite won me over to caring about its characters, it did enough work to leave me curious about their future. I'm looking forward to future instalments.
