Last fall I read Word and Breathe and totally loved it.  Where most young adult post-apocalyptic novels are repetitive, Noel brings fresh ideas to a stale genre.  Word and Deed picks up right where Word and Breathe left off, with Riana working with the rebellion and it's leader, old childhood friend Connor.She's also still seeing Mikel, her soul-breather boyfriend, but he doesn't like nor agree with what she is doing.  He would love it more than anything for her to stop working with the rebellion and Connor.  But when she and the rebellion are being framed for terrorism, Riana needs to make some personal choices.  But who and what will she choose?Although I was excited to read Word and Deed and immerse myself back in Noel's world, about midway through the book it really got dry.  It lacked energy.  But after about fifty pages or so, it picked back up and I was once again excited and happily turning the pages, eager to see how everything turned out.  I'm can't wait for the next one! If you enjoy a unique world with complex, yet relatable characters, pick up this series! It's just fantastic!
