Once by Anna Carey (sequel to Eve)
My opinion of the book is that it is well thought out and you can really relate to the characters. You really can feel for them in the way that some books just lack. Anna Carey really allows you to understand the feelings behind Eve and Caleb. You get introduced to more characters living inside the city's walls that don't know much of pain. It's embarrassing, but the book makes you cry. It's a roller coaster of emotion and hard to put down, I was forced to read it in once sit down it was so gripping. Overall I would give it 4.75 out of 5

Forcing young women to be breeders and then take those children and adopt them out to other people without the mother's consent is not moral. Forcing boys and young men to work with little compensation and no education offered is not moral either. Both these actions create a poor and unstable base from which to form a society.
These books are rich in detail, showing the goodness and evil that lives inside all of people. Excellent reading for anyone and especially good for young adults who have heard of slavery and the underground railroad, but may not have been able to truly understand what it must have been like. Getting to Califia was difficult and often required assistance. Those who helped often paid the highest price.
