A review by kirkw1972
The Eve Illusion by Giovanna Fletcher, Tom Fletcher
3.0
It feels like forever since I read the first book in this series (Eve of Man) but I picked it up and was back in tune with the characters in no time. I do think it helps to have read the debut first as we are straight into the story as it starts as the first left off and you're expected to know the characters, who they are & their roles in the story.
Going back to my review of the first book I was frustrated at not knowing how we got to being in a dystopian society. We still don't know this but it felt less important this time around as the story is more on Eve's escape and what she did next. The story flew by & reflecting back to write the review not a great deal actually happened on her and Bram's side of things. Much more character growth this time for Michael.
I was quite fascinated by the level of violence in this one for a young adult book. I suppose it depends on the ages reading it and I was myself a quite mature reader in my early teens but it is graphic. This is actually the angle that I enjoyed the most. We have Michael, the career soldier, his power crazed mad scientist father & the secret part of the dome. More of that was revealed this time around although we need part 3 to really see what's going on there and I get the impression it's not going to be anything nice.
Overall though this one was a bit dull for me. I will read the third so I can see the book to its conclusion but I hope there's more to it than this
