Breeder by Casey Hays

4.0

Breeder is the first book in Casey Hays YA, dystopian series called the arrows flight. Breeder is post apocalyptic and offers a unique storyline of a dystopian society in which woman dominate a village. The men are considered "stock"and live the "pit", an uncomfortable cramped to put it frankly prison cell. The woman however have different jobs but they are determined by fate. The main protagonist, Kate has been chosen to become a breeder meaning that she will produce offspring with the "stock" for the rest of her life. She rebels hating the idea of being used and is determined to not become just another woman in the village. Breeder offers suspense, romance, humor and has a small theme of catholic beliefs within the novel. Personally I thought this book was really good, it was young adult as stated and kept me guessing a lot of the time. Casey's writing style gives an equal amount of dialogue and scenery describing and is overall enjoyable to read.I am excited to read the next installment of this and see where the story goes.
