The story is not about time travel, it's just that there's a series of events that set up tht situation that's been going on for some decades.Nerea wrote: ↑20 Mar 2020, 18:45 Sounds like an intriguing and thrilling time travel story. I'm amused by the reproductive arrangement highlighted in the story. I think I need to delve deep into the story to draw more gems. Additionally, I'm glad to know that the material is free from profanity and other graphic references. Thanks for the lovely review.

Honestly I can't tell if The Handmaid's Tale was a source of inspiration, but the use of women as breeders seems a pretty common theme explored in dystopias.unamilagra wrote: ↑20 Mar 2020, 21:36 This reminds me of Handmaid's Tale with the forced breeding, hopefully without the forced "natural conception" that goes along with it. I like dystopian books and always think it's interesting to see what different authors think the future could hold for us. It sounds like with a bit of polishing, this could be a great book. Thanks for a thorough review!

A 15-year old girl might identify with Christina Braggio, who is 13 at the beginning of the novel. If she likes the concepts of magic and bonding with magic animals, she might find the novel interesting.Tavaiel26 wrote: ↑21 Mar 2020, 05:37 I like the idea of Ecotopia as being a place where magic is related to the well being of the environment. This book sounds really interesting, and I really hope that it goes under another round of editing. All in all, do you believe it would be interesting for a 15-year-old girl?

Yes, I decided to warn readers particularly sensitive to invasive procedures, but there's indeed a more important story that's far greater than those potentially disturbing moments. Thank you for your appreciation!

Honestly not all questions get answers. Possibly there will be more in the sequel already announced by the author to expand the story.anabiya sharik wrote: ↑25 Mar 2020, 05:59 The idea of having "breeders" seems very similar to Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, which is a scary thought. I'm wondering if there is a clear cut line between the good society and the bad one, or if both systems have their pros and cons? If one is obviously better, why hasn't the US adopted different practices after seeing how well its working for the other? So many questions... I think I'm going to have to read this one! Thanks

Hope is indeed crucial to make a difference between a society that aims at utopia and one that fell into a dystopia.Mbalewechinonso wrote: ↑26 Mar 2020, 01:21 Ecotopia is a very good place to understand the importance of a healthy environment. This book also gives insight on the issues caused by radioactive fallouts which is a I recommend in this time of our generation. The most interesting part is the part of hope. Good review
