In the second novel in the Hybrid Chronicles—perfect for fans of Ally Condie, Lauren Oliver, and Scott Westerfeld—Eva and Addie struggle to share their body as they clash over romance and the fight for hybrid freedom.
Addie and Eva escaped imprisonment at a horrific psychiatric hospital. Now they should be safe, living among an underground hybrid movement. But safety is starting to feel constricting. Faced with the possibility of being in hiding forever, the girls are eager to help bring about change—now. The answer seems to lie in a splinter group willing to go to extremes for hybrid freedom, but as Addie and Eva fall ever deeper into their plans, what they thought was the solution to their problems might just be the thing that destroys everything—including their bond to each other.

Gr 8 Up-Because sisters Addie and Eva grew up hiding their hybrid nature, they're now learning-along with readers-some of the nuances of what it means for two souls to share one body. Is romance possible with someone always looking over your shoulder? Can a hybrid ever have privacy? What occurs if the two souls disagree? Now that Eva is fully capable of controlling the girls' body, she's unwilling to sit idly by and allow the torture (in the name of science) that happened upon them at the Nornand Clinic happen to other children. As they meet more hybrids, they hear more and more horrific stories of abuse, and they learn of a small faction that wants to take immediate action to stop further mistreatment of hybrid children. Eva is eager to help with this plan, but Addie is unsure as to whether or not what they're planning is ethical. The deeper involved in this small revolution they become, the further apart the siblings begin to grow. Until now, they've never argued about anything this significant, and it's not clear which of the two souls will win control. Zhang has a unique challenge: she must give each character two distinct personalities, which she skillfully manages. While this book lacks some of the freshness of What's Left of Me (HarperCollins, 2012), simply by virtue of being a sequel, the lovely, atmospheric storytelling is still very much present. Zhang has envisioned a complex, unique world and deftly brings it to life.-Heather M. Campbell, formerly at Philip S. Miller Library, Castle Rock, COα(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist
The second Hybrid Chronicles book finds sisters Eva and Addie and other hybrids—those born with two souls sharing one body—hiding in an antihybrid society. When the government announces a new “cure” initiative, which will likely kill one sibling, a hybrid faction recruits the sisters to help sabotage it. But as the plan unfolds, difficult discoveries and choices emerge, as well as possibly devastating consequences for Eva, Addie, and others. The minutely detailed account occasionally lags, but the siblings’ desire for autonomy is intriguing, as is the exploration of the politics of enacting change—leaving plenty open-ended for the follow-up. Grades 8-11. --Shelle Rosenfeld
Review
Zhang’s precise prose skillfully delineates Eva’s unique first–person point of view, and the sisters’ intense relationship continues to be deeply compelling…fans will have plenty of reasons to be impatient for the third book in the series. (Kirkus Reviews)
Lovely, atmospheric storytelling…Zhang has envisioned a complex, unique world and deftly brings it to life. (School Library Journal)
Praise for WHAT’S LEFT OF ME: “A shockingly unique story that redefines what it means to be human.” (Lauren DeStefano, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of WITHER)
“Zhang’s concept is original and provocative; the deep bond between Eva and Addie (the shifts between I, we, and she in Eva’s narration are especially haunting) and the mystery about why their society is so desperate to ‘fix’ hybrids are riveting.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
“A deeply original tale of longing for identity; so skillfully crafted, the words float above the page.” (Lissa Price, international bestselling author of STARTERS)
“An unsettling dystopian adventure of two souls trapped in a single body.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Uniquely imagined…Zhang’s prose is lovely, and the plot is compelling to the last page.” (School Library Journal)
“An intriguing depiction of sibling relationships and the challenges of learning to live as distinct, though not physically separate, individuals.” (Booklist)
“the siblings’ desire for autonomy is intriguing, as is the exploration of the politics of enacting change.” (Booklist Online)

Even better than the first book!
By Susan Dennard
I love Kat Zhang's prose--LOVE it. She uses words like a poet, yet she also manages to write high-tension tales and heart-wrenching characters. WHAT'S LEFT OF ME, the first book in the Hybrid Chronicles, blew me away with its 3D heroines, creative world-building, and its alien yet familiar story of finding one's place in the world. ONCE WE WERE did that again and more. If you enjoyed the first book, I truly think you'll love the sequel. Now if only I didn't have to wait another year for the third book...

THIS is the kind of dystopian I want to see more of!
By Paige
See more of my reviews on Birth of a New Witch! My copy was an ARC I received from the publisher via Edelweiss.
It's easy to look at dystopian novels nowadays, roll your eyes, and keep going. Many of them sound the same and it's easy to pick out which books use the dystopia as an obstacle for the romance or the drama, which ones have premises so laughably weak you can write a paper on why it will never happen based on just the jacket copy, and which wants are actually trying to say something about society. Zhang's masterful Hybrid Chronicles is one of the strongest, if not THE strongest, YA dystopian series on the market right now and there's nothing about it I don't love at this point.
Now that Addie and Eva have semi-equal control of their body, they deal with a whole new set of issues, what with Eva liking Ryan and Addie liking a boy who is not Ryan or Devon. Oh, and not telling Eva that for a while. Their struggle with compromise-because they don't always want the same thing;Eva agrees to foreboding plans Addie strongly disagrees with and both girls start keeping things to themselves when it's something both girls need to know-is one of the conflicts at the forefront of the novel.
The other major conflict? Oh, some of the hybrids wanting to delve into terrorism in order to show the single-souled populace they refuse to be incarcerated and lobotomized any longer.
Eva/Addie act as more of vehicles through which we get the story instead of an actual character taking part in the action on occasion, but such moments aren't enough to dampen my enthusiasm for this novel. It may even be better for them to be reduced to this when their fellow hybrids are planning terrorism because we get a greater understanding of how they got to their current mindsets and what the anti-hybrid sentiment has done to them.
What makes this so strong as a dystopian novel is the metaphors through which it examines our world and what might happen if our Islamophobia/xenophobia goes too far. Reading this so soon after the Boston Marathon bombings makes the parallel of hybrid discrimination and Islamophobia/xenophobia even clearer than it was during What's Left of Me. Once Sabine, Christoph, and like-minded hybrids make their plans and build their bombs, they become the parallel to Islamic extremists in our world. It's easy to think of Islamic extremists as pure evil, but like the terrorist hybrids, they're people too. Their motivations may have arisen from maltreatment and they want change, but both the hybrids and the extremists are only going to make things worse and hurt their cause.
The ending leaves where they're going from here clear about three feet ahead and beyond that, they've got to be trailblazers because what they've been doing isn't going to work anymore. I'll be awaiting and dreading the third and final book of Zhang's beautiful trilogy in equal measure. Why would I want the only dystopian series I honestly love to end, after all?

Creeptastically good sequel!
By Step Into Fiction
If you have NOT read What's Left of Me please read with caution. There are some spoilers that were unavoidable. Proceed with caution . . .
I really enjoyed the first book, What's Left of Me and I couldn't wait to read more about this unique series, especially Eva and Ryan. The concept of these books still blows my mind; two souls sharing the same body. Things will get complicated when both souls fall in love with different guys, which we start to see in this second book. You're sharing the same body with different guys, it's just weird and awkward and probably everything you imagined it would be. I do have to say, while I enjoyed this book, the first half was a bit lackluster for me.
That being said, it's alright because the second half of the book totally made up for it. Sometimes slow isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's just a lot of information. I just don't like slow because I like breezing through books. We get to see what life is like outside of the institutes boring white walls. Eva and Addie are surrounded by people who are just like them and they're teaching them all sorts of things like how to have the one soul disappear so Eva or Addie can actually get some alone time which will come in handy for when Ryan and Eva want to lip lock (which should be all the time, in my opinion). But you also get to see them interact with more hybrids around their own age.
I want to start off with talking about Addie. I'm not sure how I feel about her; I wasn't crazy about her in the first book and I'm liking her less during the second book. She started coming around toward the end but I just . . . there's something about her that just doesn't sit well with me. Where I really, REALLY like Eva and I think she's pretty awesome I get the opposite feeling with Addie. I would like to think I'd like both souls but I don't. I like both Devon and Ryan though I like Ryan more (easily). The hardest part is I can't really put my finger on why I don't like Addie so much . . . it's just that she's a hard character to swallow, you know?
Could you imagine being a soul that went in to your dream state to give the other soul some privacy to suddenly return with your lips locked with another guy who isn't familiar? I can't even imagine something like this but it's a possibility of being a hybrid and it would be full of weird.
Peter, who is like the headmaster of hybrids is very thorough about his plans and in the process he's very slow. There's an institution opening up near where these hybrids are hiding out and there's much disagreement on how to handle the problem in front of them. The younger generations of hybrids decided to take matters in to their own hands and the planning goes from bad to worse in no time flat. Eva and Addie have to figure out how far they're willing to take their revenge and at what cost to not only to themselves but those around them.
The ending has me eagerly wanting the next book because that's when we're really going to see a lot of action and in the process, no doubt a lot of lives lost; both innocent and not so much. There's also a character who took the whole book to warm up to me that I am dying to find out their fate. It sucks that it took so long to like this character and then boom, we're left hanging.
If you enjoyed What's Left of Me, I think you'll enjoy Once We Were. I, personally, feel like I enjoyed the first book more but I'm not saying this wasn't good. This whole concept just still boggles my mind; sometimes it's just hard to wrap your head around it. It's fascinating and creepy.
