This had some excellent commentary on a woman's right to choose whether she has/wants children or not. It was honestly a realistic dystopia; I can imagine in America they would operate a lottery system that dictated who was allowed to have children, and of course, only the women would be controlled!

The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was the epilogue? It said it was a dream, but was it real? Idk.

3.5

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as The Water Cure. Unique and interesting plot but lacked a good execution. There was minimal world building and background, leaving me with too many unanswered questions-how did the lottery start? Why did they decide to hold the lottery? Who decided? How are the cities set up? Details about the trip to the cities? I think it would’ve been a better story if there was more background.

The characters were okay but there was a lack of depth and development. It was a quick read but could be boring at times especially in the middle. The ending had a good twist but left me unsatisfied.

Overall Blue Ticket has an interesting concept and makes you think but I wish it had more world building and didn’t leave me confused.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5)
