The concept was good. But there wasn't enough explanation for why and what made society this way. The story was very gory at points and was trying to make points about how manipulating nature can be dangerous but it just didn't come together

Another dystopian with a unique twist. Every birth since the nuclear Armageddon that sent society back to pre industrialized revolution tech results in twins. One perfect and healthy. The other disabled in some way. The twins are separated at birth for fear that their punishment will hinder the healthy twin. But one thing connects the twins forever. When one dies so does the other.

Great dystopian novel. The classes are separated by color and the upper classes ride the broken backs of the lower classes. Reds are the lowest. After a tragic loss the hero is receuited to infiltrate the highest class and become one of the ruling elite. To do this he doesn't just change everything that made him red. He has to completely lose his own identity. Really well done. I need to read the sequels

Such a refreshing fantasy romance. I thoroughly enjoyed it because the story was unique and the characters were believable. Our heroine isn't a shallow ninny who constantly gets distracted by her own heaving bosom when the hero enters a room. They are dealing with dark magic and their love grows from experience not flash in the pan lust

This book is timely considering the amount of litigation and uproar going on over abortion. The book is a parallel of the scarlet letter. Instead of having the child the protagonist aborts her child. She struggles with the decision, morally and emotionally, there's one complication she lives in a world where abortion is a crime and women who abort are murderers. A seriously thought provoking and feminist work that I really enjoyed
