"But the lights stayed on, and Tally's nerves were soothed by the roar of white water, the cold slap of spray in her face, the thrill of bending her body through curve after curve in the moon-speckled darkness. The board was smarter then her old one, learning her moves in a matter of minutes. It was like graduating from a tricycle to a motorbike: scary, but thrilling.
Tally wondered if the route to the smoke had a lot of rapids to ride. Maybe this really would be an adventure. Of course, at the end of the journey there would only be betrayal. Or worse, she would discover that Shay's trust in David had been misplaced, which could mean . . . anything. Probably something horrible."
I think the use of figuritive language in this section is very good. It is used in many places but I like the first sentence: "But the lights stayed on, and Tally's nerves were soothed by the roar of white water, the cold slap of spray in her face, the thrill of bending her body through curve after curve in the moon-speckled darkness." I think it uses great descriptions, also, the personification of the water slapping her face. and I LOVE the line describing the night or darkness as moon-speckled darkness.
