A fictional novel about the state of a decaying, demoralized, and usurped city, and the people who rise up to reclaim it. The story follows several characters as they navigate their lives through the left-behind corners of the City. The first person narrator is a homeless man who has abandoned the ubiquitous system of capitalism and now wanders the alleys and the streets of the City in search of a better way. Along the way he encounters other lost wanderers who share similar views. The unlikely revolutionaries must first battle through their own entrapments before they can stand united against the enclosing darkness.

The first thing that caught my attention was the attention to detail with the scenery. if felt like I was actually in the story. It was vivid, but not overly done. It gave me a sense of a dreary monotonous city filled with desperate, fearful occupants with no identity...almost a dystopian feel. As I read on, I did feel like there was an overabundance of inner dialogue. I found myself skimming because I needed more action and conversation between the characters. The inner dialogue slowed the pace too much. I liked the fact that unlikely allies joined forces for a cause that was important to them. Everyone was suffering in some way. No one was happy no matter what material possessions that had or didn't have. Everyone was missing something crucial in their lives. When I started the book, I thought there would be a more dystopian feel to it. It's not your typical story with a HEA, so this was definitely different for me.
