It feels like a very long time since I read the Rule of One, the first in this series about an overpopulated America enforcing a One Child Rule, apparently having learned nothing from China's experiences with that policy. Ava and Mira, unauthorized twins, spent eighteen years switching off and hiding so that no one would suspect there were two of them, before breaking out and fleeing to Canada. At the start of this novel they're still there, trying to figure out their next move and hooking up with a nationwide rebellion that's suddenly there to get back at the Governor of Texas, their home state.
There are a lot of POVs in this book, and it doesn't have any real form of recap or memory jogger, it just goes straight into the action. A lot happens, but parts of the story still seem to drag a lot. Because so much happens and there are several POVs, I did get confused sometimes about what the current mission was and why. And, of course, the story isn't over yet; there's another volume to come, although at least this one doesn't end on a cliffhanger.
I'll probably pick up the third one, to find out what happens. But I won't be rushing for it. Thanks to Netgalley and Skyscraper for allowing me to read.

I love that these books are go, go,go. There isn't a dull moment in any of them. Owen's character really annoyed me, so it was a task to read his sections, but once I got past those, the rest was amazing.

A bit slower to get into than the first of the series. I really enjoyed the addition of the new female character, that was a wonderful surprise. Overall, I think I wish it had progressed faster but still enjoyed the plot of this one.

I couldn't get into this, but it wasn't bad. I think it was just bad timing for me reading it. My review doesn't reflect on the authors or their book, just how difficult it was for me to finish it and get sucked in.

So much happened in this book and it was all amazing. I loved this one just as much if not more than I loved book 1. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

I liked the first book well enough to read the second, but I just couldn’t get into this one. I kept putting it down and found that I didn’t care about any of the characters or what was happening to them.
