{Review} Resist @SarahCrossan

Resist (Breathe, #2)
The sequel—and conclusion—to Sarah Crossan's Breathe. Three teen outlaws must survive on their own in a world without air, exiled outside the glass dome that protects what's left of human civilization. Gripping action, provocative ideas, and shocking revelations in a dystopian novel that fans of Patrick Ness and Veronica Roth will devour.

Bea, Alina, and Quinn are on the run. They started a rebellion and were thrown out of the pod, the only place where there's enough oxygen to breathe. Bea has lost her family. Alina has lost her home. And Quinn has lost his privileged life. Can they survive in the perilous Outlands? Can they finish the revolution they began? Especially when a young operative from the pod's Special Forces is sent after them. Their only chance is to stand together, even when terrible circumstances force them apart. When the future of human society is in danger, these four teens must decide where their allegiances lie. Sarah Crossan has created a dangerous, and shattered society in this wrenching, thought-provoking, and unforgettable post-apocalyptic novel.

This one is a sad review!  I ate up Breathe last year when I got it to review.  And I just couldnt wait for book two.  Well it seems that this is not a trilogy but a duology which is fine.  But this one ends with loss and grief.  And although I did care about what happened to the characters I just didnt feel that I cared enough.  This one just wasnt as good as book one.


"*I received a copy of this book for free to review, this in no way influenced my review, all opinions are 100% honest and my own."

I just started Resist today! I was really surprised to see that it is a duology too! So many YA books are trilogies now, that I kind of just expected it to be one as well. I'm nervous now since you said it ends with grief! I had very conflicted feelings about Breathe and I really don't remember much about it, so I may have to do a quick skim.

Quinn and Bea as a couple is so perfect. I love when best friends fall in love with each other.
