The shocking and thrilling sequel—and conclusion—to Breathe, which Kirkus Reviews called "intelligent and absorbing." Three teens confront danger, uncertainty, and the yearning to live—and breathe—freely. This powerful dystopian novel is for fans of Veronica Roth and Patrick Ness.
What would you do if you were desperate? Bea, Alina, and Quinn are outlaws. They started a rebellion and have been thrown out of the pod—the only place where there's enough air to breathe. Bea has lost her family. Alina has lost her home. And Quinn has lost his privileged life. What will they find now that they are refugees in the perilous Outlands? Their final safe haven may be harboring dark secrets. But together, the three teens find the will to keep fighting, to save one another, and to break free from everything that's holding them back.
Acclaimed author Sarah Crossan has created a dangerous, shattered society, and brought to life three teenagers who come into their own in the most heartbreaking ways. A wrenching, thought-provoking, and unforgettable post-apocalyptic novel.

From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up—The dystopian adventure that began in Breathe (Greenwillow, 2012) comes to a mediocre conclusion. In the continued effort to find freedom for all citizens, a steadfast group of survivors are fighting two forces: a government within the domed city which regulates the air citizens breathe, and rebels outside the city. The same cast of characters returns, though there is new emphasis on Ronan, the government warrior turned rebel. His point of view alternates with those of freedom fighter Alina, privileged outcast Quinn, and empathetic Bea. Readers will require a lasting memory of Breathe or need to reread it before attempting the sequel, as many characters and plot nuances are not fully explained. In a turn of events worthy of a soap opera, the psychotic rebel leader killed off in the first book turns out to have an equally crazy sister who leads another faction of rebels. The heroes must once again escape the rebel enclave and save their people from an authoritarian government. Sprinkled amid action-packed scenes are a few stilted romances. Although the heroes are likable, the story feels forced and the pacing too quick, almost as if large pieces have been left out. Purchase where the first book is popular, otherwise, heed the title and resist.—Cindy Wall, Southington Library & Museum, CT
From Booklist
After the events of Crossan’s debut, Breathe (2012), Quinn has been punished for inciting insurrection and banished to the oxygen-poor world outside his safe home in the pod. As he and his girlfriend, Bea, try to reach Alina and the other survivors of the massacre at the Resistance’s stronghold, special-forces soldier Ronan is on their trail, but he has become disillusioned and is unwilling to kill any more innocents. Soon the lives of all four teens will be at risk when the sanctuary for which they are searching turns out to be worse than life in the pod. This sequel is just as fast paced as its predecessor, even after Ronan’s voice joins the chorus of Alina, Quinn, and Bea’s first-person narrations. The multiple perspectives of the likable, believable characters work well to keep readers on the edge of their seats. The romance aspects are a touch forced, but they don’t weigh down the story, and the two male perspectives set this one out from the dystopian pack. Grades 7-10. --Snow Wildsmith
Review
“Crossan keeps readers on their feet. Her gritty, lifeless world, the result of the destruction of all of the world’s trees, is populated by desperate drifters who survive with portable solar respirators. . . . Intelligent and absorbing.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Review for Resist by Sarah Crossan

Resist by Sarah Crossan
Book Two of the Breathe series
Publisher: Greenwillow
Publication Date: October 8, 2013
Rating: 3 stars
Source: Ecopy from Edelweiss
Summary (from Goodreads):
The sequel--and conclusion--to Sarah Crossan's Breathe. Three teen outlaws must survive on their own in a world without air, exiled outside the glass dome that protects what's left of human civilization. Gripping action, provocative ideas, and shocking revelations in a dystopian novel that fans of Patrick Ness and Veronica Roth will devour.
Bea, Alina, and Quinn are on the run. They started a rebellion and were thrown out of the pod, the only place where there's enough oxygen to breathe. Bea has lost her family. Alina has lost her home. And Quinn has lost his privileged life. Can they survive in the perilous Outlands? Can they finish the revolution they began? Especially when a young operative from the pod's Special Forces is sent after them. Their only chance is to stand together, even when terrible circumstances force them apart. When the future of human society is in danger, these four teens must decide where their allegiances lie. Sarah Crossan has created a dangerous, and shattered society in this wrenching, thought-provoking, and unforgettable post-apocalyptic novel.
What I Liked:
For me, Resist was an... interesting conclusion to the Breathe duology. I expected more, but at the same time, I wasn't too broken up that I didn't get a better end to the series. My interest in this stemmed from Crossan's integration of environmental issues and themes, and I'm happy that the series was so concretely based on the environment. The story itself is pretty good, but in this book, it wasn't BETTER than in the first book - in fact, it wasn't as good.
Bea and Quinn survived the destruction of The Grove, but were separated from Alina, Silas, Song, Bruce, Maude, and the others. The latter journey to find Sequoia, what seems to be the last non-pod refuge, and eventually Quinn leaves Bea and a new-found (but injured) companion to find Sequoia as well. But things in Sequoia are sooo not ideal - in fact, they're worse than in The Grove, or in the pod.
There are FOUR perspectives in this book - Alina, Quinn, Bea, and Ronan (Ronan is the son of someone really important politically in Breathe, but I can't really remember the father's position). Each teen has a very important role in this book. I liked all four of them quite a bit, which was nice, because in Breathe, I really was not a fan of Alina. Alina is tough, Bea is unshakable, Quinn is matured, and Ronan, well, Ronan makes decisions that affect the outcome of this novel. Good for him.
Life in Sequoia was so weird, and definitely dystopian. I was totally grossed out when I read some of things that went on in Sequoia, but at the same time, I expected it. I think it was admirable that Crossan included such a society in this series - she's showing readers what could happen. It reminds me a bit of In the After by Demitria Lunnetta.
For the most part, I enjoyed the story, but I had problems with major plot points (see below). What I did absolutely LOVE was the environmental science part of this series. It didn't seem as prevalent in this book as it did in Breathe, but I love that Crossan made it a central theme in the book (and series). What happens when air is not breathable? Find out in Breathe and Resist.
I may have had problems with the plot (the climax, specifically), but I liked the ending. It seemed a bit vague - I would have wanted to know more about the new society, but I'll accept it as it is and move on. Crossan does take the ax to a few characters, but I think it was necessary. I kind of wanted to know what happened to other characters, like Quinn's parents, but whatever. I enjoyed this book, for the most part, and I'm glad I read the series!
What I Did Not Like:
This book was not as good as the first book. It sucks that sequels get compared to their predecessors, but it's bound to happen. I expect books in series to get better and better as the series goes on, or at least, the same level of "great" with which the series started. This book felt like a bit of a letdown, even if overall, it was a satisfying read.
For one, I had to skim or almost peruse parts of the book. Unlike the first book, not everything grabbed my attention. The FOUR alternating perspectives started to wear on me, and I found that I didn't always want to read next perspective that I encountered. Like, I would quickly read Ronan's part, in order to get to Bea's part. At some points in the book, some characters had more boring perspectives than others. Or, others had more interesting perspectives than others.
It seemed too easy, when Alina and the rest of the refugees at Sequoia escaped. It didn't seem realistic. Like, EVERYONE got away, unhurt, perfect, free. And then they reached the pod? Where did the children go? I was confused about that - where did everyone else go? I know Alina, Silas, and a few others made it to the pod, but where were the others?
The same goes for the actual fight for the pod - who was fighting who? Vanya versus the pod? Who was fighting for the pod, the rebels, the Resistance, the pod's army? A combination of everyone? I really didn't understand the climax (the final battle), and that kind of sucked (to not understand).
Would I Recommend It:
Overall, as a single book, not entirely? If you read the first book, I think you should read this one - it's important for closer and whatnot. Finishing series is important, and the first book was GREAT. This book wasn't as good as the first book, but it wasn't horrible or anything.
As a series, I would recommend this series to people interested in environmental science, like me. This duology will always stick out to me (i.e., I will always remember it) because of the heavy environmental science content. That is easily my favorite "thing" about this book - how involved it is with environmental issues. So, as a series, if you're interested in the science, read it!
If you weren't dying to read the series, then skipping it wouldn't hurt. It's not a majorly popular series, and it probably won't be the next Twilight, so don't feel bad about skipping it. But I think it's worth the read, for science-y people out there, like me.
Rating:
3 stars. This was a pretty okay conclusion to the series! Sarah Crossan is definitely a solid author, and I'm looking forward to reading her next project!

Enjoyed this, but lacked the spark needed to make it great.
By Jessica Leigh (Lovin' Los Libros)
In the conclusion to Breathe, we find our main characters at a crossroads. Life has been drastically altered for them all and now they must decide what to do next- do they seek out the other Resistance hub or do they remain in the Outlands?
Alina has made her choice- after the Grove was destroyed, her and a few fellow Resistance members are heading for Sequoia, another Resistance hub. Meanwhile, Bea and Quinn have left the Pod and are going to make their way back to the Grove to find Alina and the others. Bea is heartbroken right now after a devastating loss has crushed her spirit, and not even Quinn can seem to bring the old her back. After discovering the Grove has been destroyed and finding a little girl, Jazz, (who was important to Petra) they decide to head for Sequoia to regroup with the others. However, Jazz has been injured and will not be able make the trip there. Quinn heads out on his own to seek out help, leaving Bea and Jazz behind.
This book adds in one more point of view, Ronan Knavery, the young former Pod Minister's son. He is a part of the Special Forces and Jude Caffrey, Quinn's father, has offered him a deal that is hard to refuse. I liked Ronan's character. After his father's death he is having to make some difficult decisions concerning his life and what his end goals are. By chance he meets up with Bea and Jazz, and is able to use his connections to get Jazz the help she needs. Ronan ends up being a good friend to Bea and really supports her while Quinn is away. I was afraid of a potential love triangle here with Bea, Ronan, and Quinn but luckily we don't get that.
Bea, while hurting from losing her parents, shows so much growth and development in this book. Gone is the timid girl- in her place is someone who is willing to fight back against the Ministry that hurt her family. While Quinn sets out to find Alina and the others for help from outside, Bea and Ronan head back into The Pod to seek out help from within. After Quinn's very public speech at the end of book one, people are now aware of the position the Ministry and Breathe have put them in and they're not going down without a fight.
Meanwhile, Alina, Quinn, and the gang are in a world of trouble at Sequoia. This Resistance base is far from what they thought it would be. Once you enter Sequoia, there is no leaving. It is almost cult like and the way they plan on surviving is completely opposite from Petra's in the Grove. Their hopes of recruiting these Resistance members is completely obliterated and now they must begin thinking of their own survival.
As everything comes to a head and we discover the lengths each individual will go through to be free, we are left with an ending that inspires hope, but is tinged with loss and grief. Even though I enjoyed this duology, I doubt I would read these again in the future. The lack of spark found it hard to stay focused and while I cared about what happened to these characters, I just did not care enough.
*Received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.*

Not as thrilling as the debut, but a worthwhile duo for dystopian fans
By AJ
The final book in Sarah Crossan's Breathe duology ends with more than a few gasps and even more POVs. Quinn, Bea, and Alina are once again the protagonists, and joining them is Ronan. The multiple POVs worked in BREATHE since the group was together for most of the book, but in RESIST, not so much. One storyline was inevitably much more interesting than the others (Ronan's was particularly dull), and it was at times rather jarring and frustrating to get thrown from one to the other just when things were starting to pick up.
And while I felt like I got to know the trio in BREATHE, the opposite couldn't be more true in RESIST. I actually forgot who was who (and there really aren't many reminders) and what their relationships were. It made it challenging to care about any of them. On the plus side, the anemic romance that I complained about in BREATHE is fortunately even less of a factor in RESIST. The couples are separated from each other for most of the book and far too concerned with securing air, rescuing friends, and preventing a truly despicable plan from being carried out.
Apart from the thin characters and multiple POVs, RESIST does have several shocking twists that dystopian fans will-in a good way-rage over. There are numerous gasp inducing injustices and corrupt authority figures that you'll love to hate. I had no trouble keeping the pages turning as the horrific picture came together and the nefarious plans of the villains was finally exposed (although I could have done without the gynecological exam scene). It's not as thrilling as the debut, but taken as a whole, the Breathe duology offers a worthwhile story for dystopian fans.
