When you reveal setting through a character’s interaction with it, the pace and tension remain tight and compelling. Any necessary details that you don’t have time to communicate to readers in the narrative voice or description can be revealed in dialogue.

Here, we learn through Lane’s dialogue that this garden is quite the anomaly, something that defies expectation simply by existing in the barren, poisoned landscape, and which poses a series of problems for the characters, as it’s illegal to grow fruit or vegetables. All their food comes from the Empyrean. Later in the passage, as the boys eat some of this food that tastes fresher than anything they’ve ever eaten, they discuss, in dialogue, what to do about their find. They can’t tell anyone about it, or else they’ll get in trouble with the government proctors. Wendig rarely slows down to explain anything about this world. Rather, he lets his characters’ interactions with the setting slowly reveal crucial details.
