 This book was described as The Hunger Games meets The Handmaid's Tale which gave me high hopes, as those are two of my favourite books. And for the most part I did find the premise of this book intriguing. The best way I can think to describe it is, The Handmaid's Tale out in the wild. Books like this really make me question what would actually happen if most of the population was wiped out. What would the attitude be towards re-population? Eve does an excellent job of raising some key questions and made me stop and consider the rights and responsibilities of women in such a scenario. What would happen to our freedom? (Heavy stuff I know). 
 Premise aside, however, I was a little unimpressed with some of the other elements of the novel. For one thing the pacing just didn't seem right. Everything happened too fast, and not in an "edge of your seat" kind of way. There wasn't enough time in between major events to really digest them and really have the characters react to them. Sometimes the reaction to a scene is just as important as the scene itself and I felt like I was missing out on that. In addition to the pacing I also found the ending a little off. I just don't buy the way things happened, it wasn't rational! I'm dying to talk to someone about it (maybe they have a different take on it than me) so if you've read Eve and want to talk about it then please contact me!! Bring on the book discussion!! 
 This book is the first in a planned trilogy, and I intend to check out the sequel because, as I mentioned the premise interests me. So who knows maybe the kinks will be worked out in the coming books. I sincerely hope so. Otherwise since there are so many other similar books, Eve might just fall through the cracks. I'm not willing to write off this series completely just yet and sometimes I just need to look at a book in a different way to really appreciate it. So if you have a different take on Eve please share!
