From the concept to the resistance I've enjoyed this trilogy. We have the Resistance, Paragon, and deadly creatures. Weave in propaganda and secrets on both sides and you've got the makings of an intrigue storyline.
“But how can we continue to keep this from everyone?” Janie interjected. “It’s not right. They deserve to know!” she hissed.
Alessa shrugged in defeat.
Yes, she thought, just like Isaac deserves to know that his brother might still be alive – but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything about that, either, knowing the guilt would eat him alive. She at least had to be sure first. She had to know it was really Joe.
Alessa's mother leads the resistance but recent events have her questioning everything and planning a revolt. I loved all the twists and the unexpected development that shake the core characters. We learn more about events in Paragon and see examples of the propaganda those in charge share. The tale was addictive and perfectly paced.
I loved getting the different POVs and from both sides. For me it helped amp up the suspense and shock. Science fiction elements, and strong characters added to the intense storyline. The author made the story feel plausible, and developments within Paragon felt all too real.
As cool as the concept and world-building was, it was the characters who stepped up, sacrificed, and allowed me to become emotionally connected. I laughed, got angry and cried. Yep, I cried.
If you haven't yet discovered the Stitch Trilogy, now is the time to devour the series. Shudder delivered on the ending and I'd like to go back and read the trilogy all over again. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
