“Don’t you know? Animals like you have no soul.” Could God ever love a half-blood all of society looks upon with such fear and disdain? Jace once believed so, but when a tragic loss shatters the only peace he’s ever known, his faith crumbles as the nagging doubts he’s tried to put behind him descend on his grieving heart. With them come the haunting memories of the bloodstained past he longs to forget, but can never escape. Taken from home at a young age and raised to serve the emperor, Kyrin Altair lives every day under a dangerous pretense of loyalty. After her unique observation skills and perfect memory place her into direct service to the emperor, Kyrin finds herself in further jeopardy as it becomes increasingly difficult to hide her belief in Elôm, the one true God. Following the emperor’s declaration to enforce the worship of false gods under the penalty of death, many lives are endangered. But there are those willing to risk everything to take a stand and offer aid to the persecuted. With their lives traveling paths they never could have imagined, Jace and Kyrin must fight to overcome their own fears and conflicts with society as they become part of the resistance.

A fantastic read. This an adventure fantasy story with a heart. Once I started it, I could hardly put it down. There are lots of plot twists and action here, but I especially liked the main male character Jace and found his journey very compelling. He is despised by society in general as he is half ryrik (or monster) and therefore considered an animal. To make matters worse, he is a slave. He encounters a wanted man, Rayad, who is also a man of faith and thereafter his life changes for theThis was an awesome reread. See review here.
FIVE STARS! I would give it SIX if that was an option. (Goodreads, please take note!)When I started Resistance, I was seriously skeptical.For one, I've never thought I really enjoyed fantasy. I'm usually one to read realistic fiction and nonfiction. Now, I have never had really bad experiences with fantasy...it's just not my thing. Or so I thought.My main "problem" (well, not AT ALL with this book) with Christian fantasy is that so many times they mix our real God into the made-up world it and
FINALLY GUYS. FINALLY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO READ THIS SINCE I DISCOVERED THE BLOGGING WORLD (about ... oh idk one and a half years ago??) and the pressure this book was under to live up to hype was tremendous for ME. I am satisfied to announce that, while it wasn't EXACTLY what I had in mind, it blew me away.The world building is marvelous - all the necessary info tossed in there in between with no info dumping whatsoever nor the holding back vital stats. It gave me vibes of Ted Dekker's Lost
Oh goodness. Where do I even start this review? This book kept me up way too late this weekend! ;) But it was so good! It was the kind of book that you just couldn't set down because it just pulled you in. The characters were amazing! Kaden was by far my favorite, but Kyrin and Jace were close second. And I absolutely loved the twins' relationship! I'm not sure why, but I always really enjoy books with twins and the sibling relationship. The whole setting and the non-magical fantasy was just. .
OH. MY. GOSH. If you haven't yet, go read this book right now. It was amazing! *grabs next book greedily*
