Finished that up at lunch and time to move to the next one, Immune.

I am going on to the next one, so I suppose that tells you something.

It is definitely a YA book. It feels somewhat Harry Potter-ish in that it basically follows the protagonists through one year of school and stops right at the end of that year while leaving the story line very open and the main plot lines unresolved. I wouldn't call it hard science fiction since it doesn't attempt to describe how the technology works beyond some background information even though the technology is very prominent. It is a fast read (less than 5 hours for me) and the pacing was good.

All that said, I did enjoy it and will continue on in the series but it probably won't go into my to-be-reread pile.
