This is a coming-of-age novel set in near distant dystopian-like future. The main story revolves around four-year-old Nell who gets ahold of an illegal copy of a primer book which leads her on a journey of Princess Nell and Harv locked away in the dark castle The primer is intended to steer the reader toward the more interesting life as dictated by the lord of the realm. There by priming them to be an effective member of society. In short the primer teaches the reader how to grow and develop in the world around them.
On top of the story there are two other stories that are streamlining the main storyline. The book jumps back and forth between the three stories. This makes it a little difficult to follow considering the unfamiliar, futuristic devices they speak of in the book and the language that is used by the author. The beginning is very hard to catch on to and figure out what is going on in all three stories. Though I feel the concept of this book is very interesting in essence I have to say that it is just not for me and not the type of book that I would enjoy. However I do know that people who like to read Sci-fi, dystopian, or cyberpunk type books would definitely be interested in this one.
