This was an interesting review. I feel that the author, Tayma Tameem was trying to relate the climate change and the growing lack of resources to our own situation here on earth. I'm also quite intrigued by the storyline. Jake looks like a fascinating character.

This narrative doesn't seem too far from our future if humanity doesn't change its current course pretty soon. The one-child policy relates strongly to what is currently taking place in certain parts of the world. With that being said, this sounds like an intriguing read that could give us a glimpse into our future if we don't stop it. Thank you so much for the insightful and honest review! Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:

The artificial birthing program is an attractive theme in this book. From the cover of the book, it shows the extent of technology. For this, I'll love to read this one.

The book cover portrays the idea of artificially nurtured babies. I hope this story encourages humans to preserve the world.

The Unborn by Tayma Tameem is a futuristic novel, and it has possibility to happen in future. We are already facing symptoms. Congratulations on #BOTD.

Jake being director at Forge corporation must have complicated his and Summer's situation of expecting twins thus contravening the organisation's one-child policy.

You already had me with the summary. I hated the fact that corporations are still controlling necessities, even in that far future. Anyway, this book is incredible and I'm so glad that it looks like it would be a series. The story deserves to be told in length. It features themes that are prevalent today, and I'm interested in seeing the author's take on them.

Reading the review, I almost forgot that the story revolves about whether a pregnancy would be terminated or not. Clearly, the review gave the other bigger aspect of the story: human nature and selfishness, world-building and chaos, environmental changes, and scarcity of resources. Surely the fight for the unborn is already a clash and a big conflict. (Right now, I am guessing from the title that the child unborn would be hidden). Come to think of it, if not for the review, I would think that the story is the story of the unborn child showing his or her prowess and vengeance. Also, my immediate thought both in reading the alkeytab book description and the review was “ Why should a basic human necessity (water) be allowed to be placed on the hands of a few? ” I hope I could find the answer in the story. The review reveals, and emphasized exploration of relevant theme (or issues) in our society. A nice and an “encompassing” review.

It's a great story. I have always wondered; what if the thing we take for granted like air, water, and land or sunlight become so scarce or unavailable? Challenging huh!? Congrats to the author for this marvellous book. #BOTD.

I like Summer a lot. I am predicting she will defy Jake and escape to the desert with her unborn twins. I can't wait to find out.
