Fleshers/Pinkers

[lathany]

I've just finished a pair of books: Fleshers/Pinkers by Alison Croggon. I came across her through her Pelinor series which was a YA fantasy series: a little generic, but comfortable and interesting. Fleshers/Pinkers is YA "cyberpunk dystopia", actually a good description. The two books are the complete story (although I wouldn't be surprised if she wrote more in the setting). They mainly following siblings Dez and Bo as they initially aim to survive as fleshers (pinkers are considered the superior humans) and then to fight back against OpSec and its treatment of fleshers. I found the books very interesting and very readable. They are rather more comfortable than high art - but I really enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend them.
