Eve by Anna Carey
4.0
I enjoyed this book, but it took me awhile to get through. I had to put it down and pick up a different book twice before I finally finished it. It's not that the story wasn't interesting, it just seemed rather slow-moving to me. And the POV was a bit odd, so it took me a bit longer than I should have liked to get through it. But, considering this is the first book in a dystopian trilogy, I'm not surprised.
The world building was slow and there wasn't much of it. Which is to be expected with this type of book. The main character doesn't really know what's going on outside of her tiny little bubble of the world, and is fed lies about the outside world her whole life, in typical dystopian fashion. There was a bit of the world revealed, but not as much as I would have liked.
The characters were likable, though there wasn't much backstory on many of them. The main character has a good amount of backstory, but the other 2 major characters don't really have any, until the end for only 1 of them. Hopefully the next book will go deeper into their stories, and the stories of other less major characters as well.
I liked this enough to continue the series at some point in the future, but I'm not absolutely dying to find out what happens next.
