FTC: I received a free copy of this book from MC Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Sins Of Our Mothers by Nicole Souza was an interesting book. This type of book isn’t for everyone, but I did enjoy it. Whenever I read books in the dystopian genre, they always have big shoes to fill. I can’t help but compare them to 1984 & the Divergent series of books. This wasn’t as good as those two, but it was still a good book. I also liked it enough that I would read other books in this series. I enjoyed this author’s style of writing, but I did find parts unbelievable. Even as I typed that, I know that is something crazy to say because anything can happen in dystopian novels. I just wonder why with the society so advanced, they didn’t figure out how to make all of the babies born female so that there wouldn’t be any defective babies born. Other than things like that, I did enjoy this book enough that, as I said before, I would read the other books in this series. If you love books in the dystopian genre, I would pick up this book and read it. If dystopian books aren’t something that you usually read, I will pick up this one because it would appeal to people who don’t usually like this genre.

It has been fifteen hundred years since the solar flare devastation of the Global Catastrophe. Due to the radioactivity in the harvesting fields, society dismisses its defective children as nothing more than flawed products of the malfunctioned seeds in the field.
But Lyratelle, a hyper-observant musical prodigy, believes these “defects” are intelligent, particularly her own sibling, the youngest child of her impervious mother. Abandoning her dream career, Lyratelle climbs the bureaucratic ladder to run the Defect Research Center, where she can safeguard the child.
With an underground team of women who share her uncertainties, Lyratelle unearths the Old History truth that womankind’s survival actually hinges on the existence of these defects.
When General Sarah Love, the city’s most powerful advocate against the defects, detects Lyratelle’s sympathy toward the creatures, she threatens the life of Lyratelle’s sibling.
Now Lyratelle’s desperate attempt to save this child endangers everyone she loves—her team, her family, even the existence of the defects themselves.
About The Author
As the third of eight siblings, Nicole has always been surrounded by people. Among her immediate family are spoken seven languages. Her favorite thing is hearing her nieces and nephews speak French, Tongan, or Mandarin. It’s no surprise she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Languages, as language is one of her greatest passions, topped only by music and Beat Saber.
Nicole minored in Women Studies and continues to take a particular interest in both women’s history and their individual stories. She’s grateful for her ancestors and other women who paved the way for her to pursue her dream of publishing stories and strives to create new avenues for the coming generations to pursue their dreams.
Though she’s lived-in various states in the U.S. and Brazil, Nicole considers Utah “home base” and continuously finds herself returning, even when previous moves were intended to be permanent. She attributes her love of Utah to the beauty of the Wasatch Mountains and the incredible people who make it feel like home, even when she’s been away for long periods of time. Recently, however, after visiting her sister’s family overseas, she’s been dreaming of a quiet beach house in Taiwan.
