This book is fast paced and exciting and I love the different points of view in this book. The world building is incredible and definitely my favourite part of this book, though I would have loved the new characters to have had a bit more depth. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.

The Rule of Many picks off right where book one ended, and from page one it doesn't stop. Though I had my issues with the first book I was super excited to see where The Rule of Many was going to take readers considering the explosive end to The Rule of One.

I think my only complaint with The Rule of Many was the introduction of a lot of characters and very little explanation of who they were. I lost track a couple of times of who was who, and who was suppose to be doing what. But other then that I really enjoyed this one. I really liked seeing how much Ava and Mira grew through out this book and their overall growth in the series so far.

With how The Rule of Many ended off I am going to say it is safe to assume there is going to be another book. I am really excited to see what the Saunders sisters are going to have in store for readers next.

First of all, this is definitely not a duology. The ending had me clamoring for the next (and probably final) book of this installment. I really liked the addition of the 2 new povs, especially Owen. At first, I wasn't sure about them but they sure grew on me fast. The book started off a bit slow but once the pace sped up I was on the edge of my seat until the end.

The Rule of Many is the sequel to the Rule of One. I did not read the first book. I should have because more background information would have been useful. Essentially, in a future United States each family is allowed only one child. The lead characters are identical twins, two children, on a mission to change things. They are not alone in their thinking. In this story, more points of view are added in addition to the twins, so you're getting the story from several angels which I liked. The characters are likeable and driven and clever. The setting is well described with great world building. I will go back now and read the first book. I recommend for fantasy dystopia fans. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a very intense continuation from the first. I was so worried it was going to be a duology and cut out some major prta I hoped would be touched on, but thankfully it strongly looks like there will be a book 3, so no worries there! Still a very emotional read with well placed tragedy you would come to expect in such a world devastated with a dystopian world that only allows one child per family. CanNOT wait for book 3! Especially loved the new perspectives that were included this time around besides the twins. Lived this book!

The Rule of Many is the second installment in The Rule of One series written by Ashley and Leslie Saunders. When I reviewed the first book for my blog, I wrote that I truly enjoyed reading it. So naturally, I requested the second book that picks up a few weeks after book 1. This novel doesn’t disappoint. It presents a great dystopian story.

The advantage of a second book is that all the backstory has been established. Thus, The Rule of Many starts off strong and maintains a fast pace throughout. Two more points of view are introduced, which is effective. I particularly enjoyed reading Owen’s point of view. He is funny and provides another much-needed perspective on the situation. I wish the authors had provided more information on that part. It would have been interesting to have the view of someone not entirely on board with the rebellion. This new point of view breaks the rhythm a little, but that works well in this novel. It breaks the seriousness of the twins’ point of view and brings a fresh voice to the story.

Book 2 dives deeper into each character and a bit more into the world building. I truly liked the characters’ journeys. The ending is also interesting, even though I thought the stakes could have been a little higher and the characters a little more conflicted. This is the only thing I can think to critique because overall, this is a great story. I truly enjoyed reading this book, even more than book 1.

This book is set to be released in May, 7th 2019 and available for pre-order on Amazon. I received this digital ARC through Net Galley. Thank you so much to the publisher for allowing me to read this amazing story. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this sequel. It took me a while to get through it since the beginning seemed a bit slow to me. I thought that this was going to be the last book in the series, but apparently not. The way the book ended left me wanting so much more and I need to know what happens next. Unfortunately, I won't find that out for quite a while since this book isn't even released yet. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This is the second book in a YA fiction dystopian series. I read the first one, The rule of One, in less than a day, it drew me in that much. The Rule of Many picks right up where the prior book left off and it goes full speed ahead like nothing has passed. While the first book was told from the POV of two characters, the twins, this one adds in a few more voices. This makes it even more thrilling and has you jumping from area to area with a smooth transition. The girls are on the run now and are pushing their cause. I really hope that there is a third book because these authors have me hooked.

I found the thought of having a one child policy implemented in the US scary but not completely out of left field. If the country truly had such limited resources I could see this being attempted.
I liked the characters and enjoyed getting to see the characters developed more in this story. The story was full of action and intrigue. I will recommend it to those that enjoy dystopian fiction.

Ahhh! What a great book! I was sorry to see it end. If you have read The Rule of One (which you should before reading this), it is nothing compared to this book! I can't wait to see more of what these authors have in store.

The Rule of Many by Ashley Saunders and Leslie Saunders is the second book of the young adult science fiction dystopian The Rule of One series. The story began in the first book of the series, The Rule of One, with this book picking up where it left off so it would be a series that needs to be read in order to be understood completely.

The first book of the series alternated the point of view between the two main characters and was set in the not so far off future of the US. Due to the shortage of food and supplies in the United States the government began enforcing the Rule of One, that no family shall have more than one child to curb the population. Everyone had followed that rule for decades with the exception of the head of the Texas Family Planning Division.

One of the most powerful men in Texas and in charge of enforcing the Rule of One had held a secret in his own household, one that his wife died for. Eighteen years before Ava and Mira were born in secret and had shared their life switching back and forth to avoid detection but the twins lived in fear of discovery. When that day came the girls had gone one the run leading them to join the rebellion and now with some new help they are ready.

Just as with the first book of the series The Rule of Many takes off at a fast pace and doesn’t slow down. With a few more character POVs added in though I didn’t think the voices were quite as distinct this time around. I had thought the first book needed a bit more world building and this one did seem like it would benefit from just a bit more depth overall to be a bit more engaging. In the end I’d rate this second at 3.5 stars, just a bit less than the first.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
