Teaser:

Tally had lived her whole life within sight of the river. Slow-moving and dignified, it defined the city, marking the boundary between worlds. But she'd never realized that a few kilometers upstream from the dam, the stately band of silver became a snarling monster.


My Thoughts: This story has an interesting concept about dividing people until they are old enough and then making them all eye-pleasing. They say it's about stopping prejudice and creating equality to end fights and people being put down. But you have to wonder if there is some other motive behind the curtain.
