I'm glad you did end up enjoying it though, I've got Breathe on my TBR list, but haven't gotten around to it yet!

I guess it's a little bit of a problem to other readers too! <br />Now come to think of it, I think there really was not much distinguishing factors between the different perspectives of the characters. Sarah Crossan has a wonderful writing style, but if not for the names given at the beginning of each chapter, I don't think I would have been able to tell which of the characters were narrating! <br />Also, I'm glad to hear that the plot, not the romance, takes center stage! I think sometimes dystopians tend to lean too much towards the romance aspect of the novel, which really can be quite unnecessary! <br />I'm glad you enjoyed Resist overall, Nara! :) I think that's a really great sign that it ended on a decent note!<br />Fantastic review, Nara! :DEmily Karen Yu https://www.blogger.com/profile/04729893107896587405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365200445147197440.post-89762376464820670432013-10-19T18:50:58.707+10:302013-10-19T18:50:58.707+10:30This comment has been removed by the author.Emily Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07821577007361821057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365200445147197440.post-91650675509491810712013-10-19T03:17:33.300+10:302013-10-19T03:17:33.300+10:30Oh, I wish you liked this one better! This is one ...Oh, I wish you liked this one better! This is one of my favorite dystopian series. I think I fell in love with Crossan's writing and the characters equally in Resist, but I can see how it would be confusing and disconnected if you didn't remember much of Breathe. Which would happen after such a long gap between books.
