A review by alongreader
The Rule of One by Leslie Saunders, Ashley Saunders
3.0
Oppressive regimes cracking down on the number of children people can have isn't a new idea, but the Saunders give it a unique spin that kept me interested in this book the whole way through. The girls weren't perfect or cookie cutter, they each had their own strengths that kept the story moving nicely. It's all a huge setup for the next book, of course, but I'll be watching out for that one to see what happens next.
It did count a little too heavily on people being familiar with specific areas of the USA, but I struggled through. It's still more or less understandable.
A good, exciting read.
Receiving an ARC did not alter my review in any way.
A handful of other passengers exit behind us, removing themselves from the scene. It takes all the discipline I have not to sprint, to match my speed to Ava's and blend in.
Finally, we reach the end of the platform and slip into the shadows of the early morning dawn.
Ava opens her umbrella, turns her head, and looks back, but I'm afraid to look behind me. I keep my eyes straight ahead ... to the dangers that wait for us next.
