Throughout this story i kept wondering if we were going to see folks switch sides – and if we were going to be let down by what we had hoped would happen. So there’s the rebellion in one place, the interesting conditions at the Sequoia – where they aren’t growing plants/trees, they are growing babies….and well when our fav characters find themselves in that society, it’s not a happy ending for anyone. With the Rebellion going on, someone has to be a leader. He’s beginning to question what he’s been told to do his whole life and i think that it’s about time that he links up with Quinn, Bea, Alina or any of them to figure out how to make a change come around in the Pod. There’s a new character brought into the mix here – Ronan, who is part of the Special forces led by Quinn’s father. We learn more that the true identify of Abel is found out and it’s not what we thought, but not what you didn’t think either. We see that there’s the quest to find another settlement from the Resistance in the Outlands – and what they find there is not at all what they expected.

This second and final installment takes us on quite the journey. 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. What will they find now that they are refugees in the perilous Outlands? Their final safe haven may be harboring dark secrets. They started a rebellion and have been thrown out of the pod-the only place where there’s enough air to breathe.

This action-packed sequel to Breathe is every bit as nail-biting and satisfying as its predecessor - visionary storytelling of the highest quality.What would you do if you were desperate?
