The Gender Game (The Gender Game #1)
comes a story like no other...
A toxic river divides nineteen-year-old Violet Bates's world by gender.
Women rule the East. Men rule the West.
Welcome to the lands of Matrus and Patrus.
Ever since the disappearance of her beloved younger brother, Violet's life has been consumed by an anger she struggles to control. Already a prisoner to her own nation, now she has been sentenced to death for her crimes.
But one decision could save her life.
To enter the kingdom of Patrus, where men rule and women submit.
Everything about the patriarchy is dangerous for a rebellious girl like Violet. She cannot break the rules if she wishes to stay alive.
But abiding by rules has never been Violet's strong suit.
When she's thrust into more danger than she could have ever predicted, Violet is forced to sacrifice many things in the forbidden kingdom ... including forbidden love.
In a world divided by gender, only the strongest survive...
I have to stop buying $1 Young-Adult Kindle Reads and expecting them to be well written and well plotted. Played myself.

Actual rating 2.5 stars.I received this in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley. Thank you to the author, Bella Forrest, and the publisher, Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, for this opportunity.The Gender Game is set in a world where the community is divided on two sides of a river bordered by toxic wasteland. One side is a society dominated by men, and the other a society dominated by women. This seemed like a unique and exciting foundation for a novel, but, unfortunately,
Forget the shoddy plot. The childish writing. The bland characters. Forget, even, the anvil heavy symbolism and imagery throughout the narrative. No, perhaps the most problematic thing about this book is the authors complete misunderstanding of what exactly the patriarchy is. Dismantling toxic masculinity doesnt work when you position your main love interest as a rugged cage fighter who smells of pine and virile. Dismantling toxic masculinity doesnt mean making a female character really into
Ok time to be honest and say although I've read the first two Shade of Vampire stories I just wasn't that impressed so in spite of friends loving that series I'd given up. Then I spotted this on Netgalley and was curious but when I looked online so many good and bad reviews popped up that I thought wow this is a contentious book and I need to decide for myself .Ignore the title and don't expect something along the lines of certain books and blockbusters that are popular with teens recently.

It isn't that this book is terrible... oh wait, yes it is. The Gender Game puts us into a dystopian world where two cities are divided by gender and a toxic river; In Patrus it's the males who rule the city, with females having about as many rights as dogs, whereas in Matrus the females are in charge and weed out any males who they think show "undesirable" traits and send them to work in the mines.The story focuses on Violet, a juvenile delinquent who ends up in a detention centre in the Matrus

My main complaint about this book, is that its not a complete story. At my time of purchase nothing in the description indicated that this book was part of a series. Therefore, when I came upon the cliffhanger ending, I was a bit pissed. The story was pretty bland for the most part. I do think it has potential as a whole for a YA/sci fi dystopia series, but this one didnt have much depth. I doubt I will continue this series. I am glad it was offered as a kindleunlimited though.I have to stop buying $1 Young-Adult Kindle Reads and expecting them to be well written and well plotted. Played myself.
