Massive water shortages as a result of climate change is an idea that is unimaginable. I wonder what role does Jake plays in the story. The rebeles called ‘The Outliers’ sounds intriguing as well.

This sounds somewhat preapocalyptic due to the climate shift, lack of water, and regulations on birth. I am not sure if this #BOTD is one I would enjoy. I appreciate the thorough review!

Will Summer abide by Forge's one-child policy by terminating the pregnancy? How will this affect Jake's hopes of progressing through Forge's ranks? I look forward to finding out. Congrats on the BOTD.

Taking advantage of water and making rules is not a good thing. Looks like this book has Chaotic experience for us. A little bit of sci-fi is also motivating me to read this book. I am very excited. Thanks for the review.

The author foresees a future that is all too plausible. I feel intrigued to see if the rebels can overthrow Forge Corporation and end its monopoly. Thanks for the awesome review!

This is another exciting sci-fi story by Tayma Tameem. In the future, there is a massive water shortage and a corporation takes control of the resources, forcing people to follow their rules to survive. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

A thought provoking and intriguing plot. It's not hard to imagine that our future could end up like so, if we keep destroying our natural resources. Tameem has me hooked. I have numerous questions that can only be answered by reading the book. Thank you for your great review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction novel set in the distant future where, with limited resources, the "Forge Corporation" has control over the water and makes the policies for the public. The story focuses on one of the Forge directors and his wife who undergoes a pregnancy experiment, which results in twins, but with the Forge's one child policy it will affect the couple's lives. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Sounds almost like a political fiction novel. Having the government (or other entities) control all of the resources and the people does not sound appealing, so I will pass. Nonetheless, congrats to the author on BOTD! :)
