Rule of Capture by Christopher Brown

Thanks to the publisher and TLC Book Tours for the free copy in exchange for my honest review

Old habits die hard – another book I’m picking up in the middle of a series. RULE OF CAPTURE is book two in a series (book one being TROPIC OF KANSAS). However, considering this is set in that same world, I didn’t exactly feel lost. Still a dystopian/thriller/courtroom drama and I found myself immediately drawn in.

The characters were really interesting and I enjoyed this unique look into a future that our world seems to be heading towards. That’s when I tend to enjoy the dystopian genre – give me something that feels even a little bit plausible. That element gives it the edge it needs in my mind. I also liked the combining of these genres – you get the overall dystopian vibe but then the story is a courtroom drama/thriller as the main attraction.

There were some parts towards the end that felt a little rushed/muddled, but that could also just be a me thing. I would definitely go back and pick up book one in this series to get to know this world better! Considering the end, the author is setting things up for another installment in the series, and I’m sure some of the questions I ended up happening will be answered then.
