Whereas 'False Hearts' was a book of neon warmth and arching redwoods, 'Shattered Minds' is a story filled with clinical chrome and the buzz of electronic instruments. It is a harder, colder book, less forgiving, with characters that take a little bit longer to love.
But love them you definitely do/5. The sanitised future of False Hearts is almost as terrifying as the sugar-sweet but ultimately sinister recollections the twins have of cult life.
Taema's desire to maintain her bond with her sister and her own individuality against the tide of a blankly homogenous future underpins the whole novel and captivates until the very last page. "False Hearts is that rarest of things - a fast-paced thriller with tons of heart and soul.
