Speaking of Eio, when we are first introduced to him he immediately reminded me of someone.

And for a time she believes them until one day an opportunity presents itself, she explores the jungle and meets Eio, who makes her completely question everything she has been taught. She's been told that all those things are a distraction from her destiny: To create even more immortals like her for the betterment of the human race. She's never seen a map, TV, Internet, heard music, etc. Unfortunately, the scientist never allow her to know anything about the world. She lives a very sheltered life because she has never left Little Cam and she is curious about the outside world. At first glance it may seem like she's just going to turn out to be your run of the mill Mary Sue, but Pia has her weakness, normal strength and endurance along with her stubbornness that at times really frustrated me, but I enjoyed seeing her grow. She has heightened hearing, sight, smell and speed. She was created and raised by a group of scientist with the intent to create a new human race at any cost. Between the bitter-sweet blossom of first love and the nail-biting storyline, I was robbed of precious sleep. But carefully placed gentler moments are woven in with the call of the jungle. However, this novel is not for the faint of heart due to a few shocking scenes. I did not expect to be grabbing the edge of my seat, turning page after page in anticipation. Mystery, a jungle backdrop and even a bit of romance. There are a lot of things I expected from Origin.
