Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading and slightly altered by Coffee, Books & Lipgloss
Basically a CBL TEASER TUESDAY works like this:
• Grab your current read• Share 2 “teaser” sentences from a random page or a part you rather enjoyed and post it as a teaser.• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Make sure that what you sharedoesn’t give too much away; you don’t want to ruin the book for others!• As an option, you can give a short snippet of what you think so far... or not. That's optional.• Share the TITLE and AUTHOR too, so that other participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.

Title: Terra
Author: Gretchen Powell
Publication Date: December 10, 2012

Synopsis: In the distant wake of a plague that has decimated the Earth's population, humanity is split in two. The rich and powerful live in skycities that float overhead, while those who remain on the ground have gathered in settlements strewn across a dying planet. Eighteen-year-old Terra Rhodon makes her living as a scav, scouting the earth for discarded scraps and metals to recycle for profit. While on a routine scavenging run, she discovers something that shocks her home settlement of Genesis X-16.
Terra suddenly finds herself asking questions no one will answer. Fueled by curiosity, her search for the truth ultimately leads her to Adam--a beguiling boy with a secret that has the power to change humanity's existence forever.

"Why do you have to question everything? Why can't you just be happy that something good has finally happened to us?"
This has a very interesting premise. I really love how the history of their settlements was immediately explained at the first few chapters. It also has a very good world building.
It has less action compared to other dystopian novels but it has a very good pacing that keeps things in the dark but gives some hints from time to time on what seems to be the exact problem.
