3/30/2023 0 Comments Rule of rose synopsis![]() I can’t wrap my head around the logistics of surveillance cameras everywhere and every person in the US microchipped.These are all the questions I had while reading The Rule of One, world-building elements that contradict each other or were not at all carefully thought out (sorry not sorry for any snarky attitude): But everyone is looking for them, now that their secret is out, and their journey to safety is fraught with dangers.Īnd here come the spoilers. Before their father is arrested for treason, he provides the girls with supplies and instructions on how to find safe houses across the country. Their father created a series of hidden tunnels and caves under their house, where one girl always hides, and Ava and Mira know that one false move could upset the fragile facade they’ve created.īut one day, a boy at Ava’s school discovers their secret and reports them to the authorities, and Ava and Mira are forced to flee. ![]() Both girls are “Ava,” the sister with the microchip, the “real” sister.

Please forgive this uncharacteristic rant, but this book made me mad. ![]() And it turns out, I was right to be worried. Books with dual authors often raise a red flag for me, unless of course the writers are already firmly established on their own (for example, Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman). I’ll admit when The Rule of One was pitched to me, I was wary of its twin sister writing team. Warning: Spoilers ahead! If you have any desire to read this book, it’s best to skip this review, as there is no way I can review this book without spoilers. The Rule of One by Ashley Saunders, Leslie Saunders ![]() This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
