The resistance's attempts to overthrow the government feel largely futile, and hearken back to a more classic dystopian formula, especially since Simmons has no compunction about killing off characters. Unlike most YA dystopian series, the resistance is hardly a blip on the radar of the government. As long as the people follow the rules of the lawmakers, the society is perfect, but, for those who break the articles, the society is a hell. Thankfully, I needn't have feared, because Breaking Point lives up to its predecessor, and this is one of my favorite YA dystopian series.įor one thing, Simmons' series actually belongs under the heading of a dystopia. I personally loved Article 5, but a lot of my good friends had major criticisms, and I wondered if I would see flaws I missed before. I embarked on my reading of Breaking Point with some trepidation. This is one series that I would definitely recommend reading. I am looking forward to seeing what happens with Ember, Chase and her group. With incredible characters, and a captivating plot, this is one heck of a ride. There are some heart breaking moments, and some revelations that will play into the next book. Like, how the article came to be, and what the Resistance is willing to do. There are so many things going on with the Resistance and with the FBR being after Ember and Chase that there are some intense scenes. Once I did, it was completely engrossing. It had been a while since I read Article 5, so it took me a few chapters to catch up. The question about him is can they trust him or not? I have to say that I couldn’t stand him in the first book, but he grew on me, just a little…. And yes, Tucker comes back into the picture. Billy was a young boy that was takes in by the Resistance. Trying to figure them out definitely keeps you on your toes. Wallace and Cara are two that are a big part of everything that happens. Some good and some that you really just want to yell at. Their little romance was something I really enjoyed, and the tension between them is at times palpable. You can really figure him out, he has a lot going on his mind and still feels tremendous guilt over Ember’s mother.
Chase is still strong and quiet and somewhat mysterious to me. She seems to have grown up, and to stand up for herself. She stays inside the hotel and never leaves.
Ember is still determined to find Rebecca and save her, her going places isn’t really easy, with posters of her face everywhere. Ember and Chase are in for the fight of their life.Įmber now has celebrity status and not in a good way.
They are still one the run and have now hooked up with a group from the Resistance. We’re back into Ember and Chase’s world yet again.
