Crucible
Rachel Wheeler and her friends are held captive in a strange city ruled by mutant Zaps, but she is determined to use her powers to overthrow their captors and escape.
But the domed city is more than it appears, and the Zaps have developed mysterious technologies and materials that mimic organic tissue. The Zaps are building sinister new creatures, hoping to replace the Earth’s natural environment with one of their own creation. Meanwhile, the world beyond the dome is becoming increasingly more contaminated and hostile.
As Rachel and the others fight for survival, even the city itself seems determined to destroy them.

Disappointing
Series has lost its lustre IMHO, characters don't behave naturally and the constant scurrying about just gets tiresome. How many decapitations before it becomes 'meh'? Chiaroscuro is a nice word but 3 times to describe the sky?
Will still read the last book but will be glad it'll all be finished before degrading any further.
