Review: Great Sequel

The sequel starts immediately where it left off in Dissidence, which I was happy about.  I don't mind when the author gives a quick overview of what previously happened, but sometimes the overview can be an entire chapter which gets pretty boring. Not in this sequel.I don't want to say too much of what happens in this book because there are surprises and revolutions that I do not want to take away from the reader.Did I feel connected to the characters?  I got really tired of Kaleigh's snarky attitude in this book.  I love when the heroine is strong and opinionated, but I get tired when opinions are somewhat negative about everyone and everything.  I saw her compassion to help others and try to get peace and freedom for everyone and I admired that about her.  However, I felt that at any minute if anyone said anything to her and it was something she did not like or agree with, she would have a "comment".  Kaleigh was a strong person to fight the way she did.  I never questioned her loyalty to her friends and family.Pace of the story? Very goodPositives:  The twists.  You never know who you can trust. There was lot to this story. I love Jamie Canosa's writing style.  The writing flowed.  There was not dull moment in the book.Negatives: Kaleigh's attitude.  Some may feel it shows her strength, I just did not care for it.  I felt like nothing was going to make her happy. I am glad when one of the guy's finally spoke up to her, but I think I lost my interest in her having any type of relationship with anyone at that point.Do I recommend?  This is a great dystopian story.Bottom line: I think I would have enjoyed the second book more if Kaleigh's attitude would have changed. She was a good person who helped and saved many people, but I just tired of her attitude. However, I want to end my review by saying that this is great dystopian story.  It is worth the read.  A lot happens and it is a great story.Book Format Read: A copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.
