linzthebookworm's review against another edition
4.0
I am absolutely loving this series from Ashley and Leslie Saunders. I felt like in this book main characters Ava and Mira really started to figure out who they are as individuals since they no longer have to pretend to be the same person. It's fast-paced and a quick read. It creeps me out a little because certain aspects of the dystopian world feel plausible. I can't wait to read more!

*Thank you so much Skysape & NetGalley for the eGalley in exchange for an honest review!*
The Rule of Many picks off right where book one ended, and from page one it doesn't stop. Though I had my issues with the first book I was super excited to see where The Rule of Many was going to take readers considering the explosive end to The Rule of One.
I think my only complaint with The Rule of Many was the introduction of a lot of characters and very little explanation of who they were. I lost track a couple of times of who was who, and who was suppose to be doing what. But other then that I really enjoyed this one. I really liked seeing how much Ava and Mira grew through out this book and their overall growth in the series so far.
With how The Rule of Many ended off I am going to say it is safe to assume there is going to be another book. I am really excited to see what the Saunders sisters are going to have in store for readers next.

yes yes YES I love this book and I can't wait to get my hands on the 3rd book in the series. 100% worth the year long wait for me to get the first book.

A follow-up to Rule of One, the authors dove right in where the story left off. Presenting YA elements of immediate action, danger, and suspense, they set a good pace to move the story along.
Pros: Their writing style in this novel showed a stronger attempt, than what was in the first, to develop the characters-fleshing out character’s backstories through internal thoughts throughout the action.
Cons: Overall, my issue still stands with the lack of clarity within the ‘world building’ aspects. Adding characters, going back and forth, adding development, was great, but the overall premise was still unclear, so nothing cohesively came together…it seemed there were a few different objectives-it was hard to follow who was on what side-and the motivations grew more far-fetched
i.e The US is being taken over by Texas? And Canada is involved?

This takes off in a sprint and doesn't stop throughout the entire book! So much is happening in the battle between The Common and the Texas State Guard and it was genius how the authors broke up things happening simultaneously.
Thanks to Netgalley and Skyscape for allowing me an eARC to read and give my honest review!

NOTE: I received a complimentary eARC of this book from Skyscape through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
After reading The Rule of One and not really liking it, I didn’t have very high hopes for The Rule of Many but I’m happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the second book FAR more than the first.
**WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD**
I found The Rule of One to be very slow, to the point of being boring most of the time, way too preachy, and a little confusing to figure out who’s point of view it was most of the time because Mira and Ava’s personalities were way too similar. However, almost all those issues were washed away with the second book.
The Rule of Many was action-packed pretty much from start to finish with very little downtime between but also just enough to give you those small heartfelt moments when they were really needed, there was no hint of the previous books constant preachiness that were obviously aimed at today’s current political climate, and Mira and Ava’s characters evolved beyond each other to become two unique and fierce individuals. I also loved the added chapters from other characters points of view as well, it gave us points of views from different areas instead of just being focused on wherever Mira and Ava were and really broke up the monotony that happened with the first book of only going back and forth between Mira and Ava playing the same scene over again from each sister’s point of view.
It was so nice to finally find a book that didn’t suffer from sequelitis but that actually had the complete opposite outcome and was better than the first book! It gives me hope that the third will be even better!
