Born to a death sentence in a near-future America, rebellious sisters herald a revolution—if they can survive.
Twins Ava and Mira Goodwin defy the Rule of One simply by existing. The single-child law, ruthlessly enforced by Texas’s Governor Roth, has made the sisters famous fugitives and inspirations for the resurgent rebellion known as the Common.
But the relentless governor and his implacable Texas State Guard threaten that fragile hope, as Roth consolidates his power in a bid for ultimate authority.
As Ava and Mira relinquish the relative safety of their Canadian haven to stand against Roth, new allies arise: Owen, a gifted young programmer, impulsively abandons his comfortable life in a moment of compassion, while Zee, an abused labor camp escapee, finds new purpose in resistance.
The four will converge on Dallas for a reckoning with Roth, with nothing less than their destinies—and the promise of a future free from oppression—on the line.

I am still in the mindset of this book! I finished it yesterday and can't stop thinking about it! I honestly wasn't sure what direction this second book in the Rule Of One series would take us readers, but it was every bit as exciting as I hoped it would be!
When we last left Ava and Mira they had made it across the US-Canada border to safety, yet the ones they love were left behind...
This story is told in the alternating perspectives of not only Ava and Mira (like the last book) but there are a couple new characters as well!
This takes off in a sprint and doesn't stop throughout the entire book! So much is happening in the battle between The Common and the Texas State Guard and it was genius how the authors broke up things happening simultaneously.
Every character left me in awe and every chapter left me wanting to know more. The new cast of characters were delightful and diverse and it was interesting to see how others in this horrific future-USA setting were affected by the strict authoritarian government.
I cannot wait until the next in the series, but alas, I will have to wait quite awhile because The Rule Of Many was just released today!!! Get it now, you won't be disappointed! It was a 5 star read for me!
Thanks to Netgalley and Skyscape for allowing me an eARC to read and give my honest review!
Happy Reading!
