ahhh, those times when you promise to do something by a certain time but then get so busy that it gets pushed further and further. that's this post.
so, since my life is so full right now that I barely have time to sit down at a desk, this will be a short post. but nevertheless, I'm so happy to be able to present you K. A. Emmons's third book - the finale to The Blood Race trilogy - RESURGENCE.
as I'm still reading this book, I cannot give as extensive a review as I promised but here is the blurb and a few thoughts.
200 years into Earth’s future, the Anomalies return…
When Icarus and the other Anomalies of the Dimension reemerge into a war-torn world, they have no idea how to take down the Reformed Global Militia — a military superpower which now rules by force and mind-control. Without Hawk or Sensei by his side, Icarus is haunted by his own self-doubt and questions his ability to lead the sliders into battle. But when he’s captured and inducted into the RGM, Icarus must face his biggest challenge yet: keep his true identity a secret from the power that wants to kill him.
While Fin roams the Irish countryside searching for Hawk, tensions rise between students in the Dimension. Desperate to escape the clutches of the RGM, Icarus makes a run for it — only to be captured again by a mysterious young corporal who’s been hiding a secret of her own…for the past 200 years. As the Anomalies prepare for war, the Dimension spirals out of control, creating more division than ever. Icarus is forced to make an impossible choice between life or death when he realizes that in order to defeat the darkness, he may have to become it.
1. the writing is beautiful. kate's writing is always beautiful, and this is no exception.
2. the setting is fascinating and immersive. it's like The Blood Race and Worlds Beneath, but each book has it's own vibe and own setting and I love that very much.
3. the characters are like same old friends and new acquaintances and very real and very relatable and very entertaining and I also love them very much.
4. the story is so rich in possibility and symbolism and allegory.
5. it feels epic. it feels apocalyptic. I have no idea where it's going.

OKAY THEN >> I saw the last little paragraph and realized I shouldn't pass up commenting xD BUT I"m still not sure whether to read this series or not. (Not sure if my heart can take any more cliffhangers or suspense!)
