The first book sets the scene; however, Eve doesn’t know anything about the world she is living in, but in this one she understands the world she once lived in is not what she thought it was. I was quite fascinated by the level of violence in this one for a young adult book. I suppose it depends on the ages reading it and I was myself a quite mature reader in my early teens but it is graphic. This is actually the angle that I enjoyed the most. We have Michael, the career soldier, his power crazed mad scientist father & the secret part of the dome. More of that was revealed this time around although we need part 3 to really see what's going on there and I get the impression it's not going to be anything nice. After reading the first book, I was absolutely itching to get my hands on this one, and now I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the final one. Although I had guessed the twist during the first book, I still felt excited when all was revealed. I found some parts to be so incredibly moving that my heart ached. I really love the unique concepts that are used in these books, the use of memories in this one had the psychologist in me absolutely enthralled. Overall, I found the ending so strong that it has made me super excited for the final book to be released. I cannot wait to find out what happens to all the characters and to return to this dystopian world.

Tom also writes the incredibly successful Who's in Your Book? picture-book series and is one half of the author duo behind the Dinosaur that Pooped picture-book series too, which has sold over 1.5 million copies. Gi and Tom manage to write so perfectly together. If you didn’t know there were two authors then you wouldn’t be able to tell. The story just flows.I honestly did not expect the Fletchers to be so damn brutal! Don't get attached to any character too much because they are not worried about killing them off! I honestly could not believe it every time a character died, I was just waiting for the reveal that actually they're still alive. I think this is the making of a really good book though because it always keeps you on your toes and you never get comfortable in where the plot is going. Ak ste čítali prvý diel série Dcéra ľudstva, viete, že už päťdesiat rokov sa nenarodilo žiadne dievča. Ženy boli buď neplodné, alebo rodili chlapcov. Jedného dňa sa stal zázrak. Na svet prišlo dievčatko, Eva. Spoločnosť EPO, na čele ktorej stála chladná Vivian, s ňou mala veľké plány. Zatvorili ju do Veže vysoko v oblakoch a obklopili ilúziou dokonalého sveta. Nie každý s takýmto riešením súhlasil, mnohí bojovali za Evine oslobodenie. Dostala vzdelanie, život v zlatej klietke, lekársky dohľad a prípravu na svoju jedinú úlohu, stať sa matkou dcér. Aby sa necítila osamelá, mala zvláštnu spoločníčku, rovnako starú Holly. Eva rýchlo zistila, že Holly je podobná hologramu, no riadia ju živí ľudia. Skutočne si rozumela len s jediným človekom ukrytým za hologramom. Vytvorili si silné puto. Spozná ho, keď ho konečne uvidí? V istom momente sa udalosti vymkli kontrole EPO. Eva sa búri a zdá sa, že prvé plánované tehotenstvo je ohrozené. Ako toto šialenstvo dopadne? We jump right in where the first book ended. It’s full of action and is a little more grown up than book one. A bit like the later books of Harry Potter here the characters start to show who they really are and not all of them have Eve’s best interests at heart.

I love the characters in this book, those characters that we learnt to love in Eve of Man return. The stakes are higher, but the character development continues. I didn't think I could love these characters anymore than I already did, especially Bram and Eve but oh my god I love them so much more now. They are such complex, wonderful, strong, loveable characters and I just want more and more from them please!

It's incredibly boring. This book put me in a slump because not only was it slow but I was forcing myself to read it because I felt like I had to read it. The amount of plot twists in this book is INSANE, my mind was completely blown and I was sped reading to try and find out what else was a lie, but at the same time not wanting to finish it because the next one does not come out for over a year.
