Breeder by Casey Hays
2.0
Yo can also find this review on my blog: The Little Book Pixie
*I recieved a free copy in exchange for an honest review*
This book for some reason didn’t work for me; it really never captured my attention, I didn’t really like the characters.
What I liked:
-World building: unlike many dystopias I’ve read this book actually explains why and what things happened to the world as we knew it. The concept of a village runs by women and with men only used as breeders was a very good idea.
-Mona: she is the leader of the village which she rules with an iron fist; as far as oppressive leaders go she is a pretty well written one.
What I didn’t like
-The use of biblical passages: this really didn’t work for me I really think the book didn’t need them.
-Kate being very naïve at times. You live in a village where absolute obedience is expected yet she thinks her leader is going to change her profession just because Kate wants her to.
-I don’t really think this book was for young adult even if the characters were 16, I would recommend it to an older audience.
I’m willing to give Breeder the benefit of the doubt and call it one of those books you have to be in a certain mood to enjoy.
