From the Back Cover
The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic-in-training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws have pushed what's left of humanity to the brink of civil war, and she's not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will find that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them—connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.Dan Wells, acclaimed author of I Am Not a Serial Killer, takes readers on a pulsepounding journey into a world where the very concept of what it means to be human is in question—one where our humanity is both our greatest liability and our only hope for survival.

I have always been drawn to stories about how people survive widespread death and destruction--particularly when humans have brought these circumstances upon themselves. Partials delivers a disturbing future world reminiscent of the Terminator movies, where artificial intelligence goes awry and takes control. The plot definitely moved the story, whereas the characters could've been more developed. Kira was the only one I really connected with. Marcus seemed kind of bland, Samm was at least mysterious, and the girls I had a hard time keeping track of who was who. I didn't even feel like I was rooting for Madison's baby other than in some vague sort of way since saving her saved the human race. The pace was also a bit slow, especially slogging through the countryside. Additionally, the writing was good, and I plan to read the other books in the series.
I really enjoyed this book, the story of a young woman named Kira who is trying to cure the disease that is wiping out the human race. Stuck in an old city with the last of humanity, Kira and a group of friends attempt the unthinkable to save the next generation; to kidnap a Partial, a species of weapons that may path a way to a cure to the disease they realeased on the human race. But on the way, a much bigger mystery comes into play, and Kira is forced to face the frightening possibility of the past being a lie.As I said, I enjoyed the book, but it may be better not to invest in this series, as the two follow books are dreadful. This book was a fun book in the spirit of the Hunger Games, with a determined lead character and an interesting plot, but it all goes absolutely nowhere. Read it if your into having your expectations shattered...in the wrong way.
Partials is a very well-written dystopian story that doesn't insult the reader's intelligence, revolving around a post-apocalytpic future where newborns don't live more than a few hours and what is left of science and medicine must find a cure for a mysterious virus known as RM. So desperate are the powers that be that the mandatory pregnancy age is being lowered to 16 so that the remaining humans can hopefully produce one offspring that will live--or at least provide additional research. Sixteen is how old our protagonist is when the story opens; Kira is a talented nurse who has a daring vision of combatting the RM virus, one that involves dealing with the enemy, a frightening group of semi human androids known as Partials (created by man), who waged a war that almost wiped out the human race eleven years before. The action takes place in what was once New York City.The books starts off well, with sharp mysteries and plot development, all balanced with original dialog and characters. There's plenty of action and intrigue as Kira negotiates a tricky path to find her cure, and several ominous forces are at work, including some of her allies. The 'science' of the virus and of the Partials themselves is all well explained and believable. And, as mentioned, the scene setting is top-notch; the author knows what the world looks like after the apocalypse.Having said that, I found the novel losing steam about half way through, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps there are too many episodic treks back and forth across the blasted landscape of the future. Perhaps too many characters and sub-plots that cause the reader to lose focus (this reader anyway) as he or she juggles all that is happening. One odd habit the author has is that he almost never describes a character's physical traits so we have no idea what they look like. Strange as he goes to such lengths to paint the haunting world after 'The Break'. I think he may have drawn such an elaborate setup that he is constantly having to explain it rather than simply letting the story take its course.But Partials is head and shoulders above its peers and readers of dystopian lit won't be disappointed.
It was fascinating to travel across the ruins of America. I would recommend to anyone getting ready to read, that you will definitely want an Atlas of America so you can track Kira's progress.However, the many MANY different perspectives were extremely confusing. I would have been more than happy sticking with Marcus, Samm and Kira. The other characters voices/personality weren't as well established and often seemed unnecessary.***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***Unfortunately there were also many discrepancies and typos that often pulled me out of the partial world. Especially towards the end. I understand deadlines, but having your character pull out her only gun twice in the same page is just a little sloppy on the editors part. And the typos in the last few chapters alone were killing my English major heart -_- Also the discrepancy at the very end where the baby is supposed to be the "first" partial/human baby doesn't work out especially since Ariel had had a child (remember the opening sequence of book 1). And it was stated again from Ariel's perspective that she had gotten pregnant as soon as she could to get away from her guardian. Something just isn't aligning there.Also I couldn't have been more disappointed with the chemistry between Samm and Kira. It almost felt like their love interest was forced just because love is something that's "supposed" to be in YA. And their final kiss was over so quickly that it was just disappointing. I mean we got more details and felt more when Samm kissed someone else.. I would have rather been shown not told that it was "perfect unity".. Waste of a kiss if you ask me.
