A review by meganlee3001
Dark Lullaby by Polly Ho-Yen
4.0
If you like the Handmaid's Tale or Vox, this is the book for you. In fact, if you're a fan of dystopia in general, this is your book.
I loved the premise of this book, worldwide infertility leading to an almost "big brother" style of monitoring parents? Sounds interesting to me!
I think the author followed through with the plot so well, I loved the family dynamics. I felt the effects of the monitoring system was showcased really well especially with Evie.
I loved the characters, who each in their own way had something to offer the story.
I think the book was well paced and my only criticism would be that it was almost too well paced, the reveal at the end seemed to come along in it's own time and I didn't have that "edge of my seat" feeling.
In saying that, I still really enjoyed this. I looked forward to picking it up and I would love to read more stories from the characters set in this world.
4.5 stars for me!
This book is out now!
