Rating: 3/5
There are a lot of great concepts in Fate of Perfection. It is set in a future where mega corporations have displaced governments and taken control of every facet of life, including reproduction. But they seem to have learned to allow some diversity into their breeding programs to prevent a catastrophic event from wiping out humanity. The fear behind these type of companies taking control of our lives is presented nicely.
The book is centered around a woman named Millicent that works for one of the conglomerates. She is selected for one of the natural breeding programs, whereas most people are grown in labs. This leads her down a path that makes it clear that the life she was living isn't what she thought it was. The world she shows the reader and encounters for the first time is well thought out.
It gets repetitive though. The interactions between Millicent and Ryker, the father of her child, can be tedious. And as the characters get nearer to their goal, the story can be formulaic. It never got to a point where I didn't enjoy the book, but I could understand others feeling that way.
Everything gets wrapped up in the end. There is an epilogue that sets up the next book in the series, but by ignoring that the book could easily stand on its own.
