Futuristic teen fiction by Orson Scott Card, sequel to "Pathfinder." Rigg, Umbo and company pass through the wall, into Vadeshfold. While looking for safety, and trying to learn all they can about their world and abilities, the group learns that all of the Garden is at risk.

The group of friends are in danger from within, as insecurities and jealousies are played out.

I really enjoyed this book, more than Pathfinder. I recall finding Pathfinder tedious and confusing. Ruins flowed much easier for me, and I found it compelling as Rigg and the others tried to figure out how to stop the impending ruin of the planet.

The ending has left me scratching my head in confusion. Is this the end? Is there another volume coming to pick up where this one left off? I certainly hope so.
