I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

Olivia and Joshua live in a world where babies are created in a lab. But you know what Olivia is very special because she was not created in a lab she was conceived. When the government of Cabal in the town Genesis where they live find out the truth of Olivia's birth they have to go on the run. In their world being conceived and not created in their little labs is illegal. Olivia and Joshua leave their home town and end up in the town of Shadow.

In the town of Shadow Olivia and Joshua learn how to fight and to defend their selves in battle. They are in training so that they can fight for everyone's right to have a child of their own and to live their lives the way they want and not the way someone else tells them too. They are fighting for any couple who has more than one child that they can keep that child and not have to give it to another couple.

Moirai is written in a way that you can just picture all the little towns in your mind, the way that they are laid out and where each and every building is. The vehicles are all described so well that you can just see them running up and down the streets. The world in Moirai is written so you actually believe that it is real or it could be real.

Joshua and Olivia are two very smart and mature people for their age. Olivia just may be the only woman left in the world that can have a child on her own and not one that is not made in a lab. But they both know that this is not the time for them to be having any babies of their own. They could have a child just to say hey look at me I can have a child and you can't. But they are not like that. They are not the type of people to hurt someone or boast about anything. They are two humble people who care a great deal about other people and their feelings.

While Olivia is not ready to have a child of her own she still takes in a child; a little girl Adelaide that she finds in another town, a town that was attacked. Adelaide is a very sweet and loving little girl who takes to Olivia right away. Olivia may not have had a child of her own and never had any brothers or sisters to help take care of. Olivia had no idea how to take care of a child. She probably never was around any babies much less a small child and she still knew what to do. Yeah her motherly instinct just kicked right in. Adelaide wiggled her way right into Olivia's heart.

If you like to read dystopian books then the Aberrant series is one set of books you don't want to pass up. I loved reading the first book in the series Aberrant and I loved the second book Moirai even more. I can't wait to read the next book in the series Isaura. I want to know more about Olivia and Joshua and their lives together. Will they ever have a child of their own? What kind of event would that be for Olivia and Joshua? What would it be like for everyone else? If they had a child it would give everyone else hope.
