A snarky heroine, two sweet guys that make you melt inside, a world run amok in desperate need of saving. What's not to love? Fans of Divergent will devour this dystopian YA novel. And don't even get me started on that ending! I was frantically swiping the screen to get to the next page. Breathless doesn't begin to describe it.

If you love a good dystopian tale, Dissidence will delight you! ( )

See this post at my blog to see about the blog tour, and to read 8 chapters that the author has kindly put up. Get a taste of it.

5 out of 5 BIG stars from me!

I see this amazing dystopian to be the next big thing. Fans of Divergent and Hunger Games will fall in love with this book! I will say, the ending will absolutely shake you to your core! I am glad there will be another book, or I would have been very upset! This book was all sorts of amazing, and I am still in shock!

This book is told from the perspective of a young girl, just turning 16, who is very opinionated, and really does not like the strict rules of the `Security' of this aftermath of war. This book is like a mix of the `factions' type in Divergence, and Hunger Games mixed. Except with this one, if a person if found to protest against the officials of this world are punished, in other words if they are `dissidence'. They are sent to what is called `work camps', in other words prison, but have to work your butt off, and they are violent in making you do your part, getting punched in the face for not wielding a pick axe well enough warrants this.

It was full of action, non-stop just about, and the main character Kaleigh, is someone I was easily able to connect with. I enjoyed her easy friendship with Peter, and how she risked so much to help him. I really liked Conner a lot, and really though Kaleigh and Conner would have been a great couple. I loved how he called her "Girlie", it was cute.

I do not want to spoil anything, so won't say much. But I will say, I had about the same reaction to the ending of Insurgent, that I just had to this one, but won't say why, lol.

Well written, and a great original idea. I am very pleased with the writing and the style of it, as well as the story as a whole.

I highly recommend this book to all ages. It's intense, exciting, emotional, and has its funny parts too.

I was provided a complimentary ARC copy of this book from the author, for my honest review. This is that honest review. ( )
