I received a review copy through Xpresso Book Tours for The Rule of Many blog tour. This does not affect my rating or opinions..

2.5 stars.

Twins fascinate me, especially identical twins raised together: identical nature and nurture. But I do still feel like they should be distinct narrators to some degree, which Ava and Mira really weren't — so the narrative is pretty homogenous. I had trouble sympathizing with either since they were pretty judgmental of everyone around them, quick to cast blame and jump to conclusions. Some of their observations and remarks just don't make logical sense to me, and there are several plot holes that I hope will be addressed in the next book.

That said, the worldbuilding is fascinating, and I bet I would've loved this book as a teenage fan of YA dystopia. The stakes are high, the characters are vivid and humanly flawed, and the story is easy to follow.
