Ruins by Orson Scott Card
Sci-fi is not my preferred genre. I knew this was going to be weird going in (book 1 was weird which is part of why I waited a year to pick up book 2). HOWEVER I was not prepared for just how weird it was going to get. The teen angst I could handle, the jealous, the fear, and the confusion were all fine. But the facemasks were surprising. So were the citizens who discovered selective breeding, but just kidding it was really the mice in that colony that discovered it not the humans. And then there was the more advanced facemask that let one colony live under water. So it turns out Rigg's real father didn't get killed by sea monsters, he became one. And there is one robot that all of the other robots lie to, but it turns out he might be only trustworthy robot, besides Father. And then the original Ram is still alive, except Rigg kills him, which ends up being bad so he goes back in time and stops himself from killing him and creates a duplicate of himself and now there are two Riggs and that's where the book ends. And this is why I don't like sci-fi. It's overly complicated. There is one more book in this series and I'm probably going to put off reading it until next summer.
