Survival
In the year 2043, with the nation destroyed by war, seventeen-year-old Kress and her Conspiracy of friends embark on a dangerous cross-country mission to locate and recruit other Emergents, the name given to teenagers who have begun to exhibit strange evolutionary abilities. Not all Emergents are ready to accept who and what they are, however, and some have even started using their abilities for selfish or evil ends.
Now Kress has to figure out who is friend and who is foe as she risks everything to expose the government’s lies and take down the tyrannical President Krug once and for all.
Picking up where the Resistance Trilogy leaves off, the Emergents Trilogy follows Kress and her Conspiracy on a daring quest to restore democracy and truth to the country.
About the Author:
K. A. Riley is a writer of speculative and science fiction, dedicated to creating worlds just different enough from our own to be entertaining, intriguing and a little frightening all at once. For Riley, writing isn’t a job. It’s a laboratory where readers can wander into a land of ideas; it’s a playground where they can scamper around, giggling, gasping, and freaking out to their hearts’ content.
When I found out that K. A. Riley had more books on the Conspiracy, I could not wait to start reading this book. Kress and the Conspiracy have felt like a family to me and I missed reading about them. I wanted to know what happened after they beat President Krug. Unlike most authors, Riley chooses to continue her books. This can be very hard for most authors and normally a miss.
For Riley I still cannot say if it was a hit or not. The reason I am saying this is, because I was disappointed. I did not like the amount of unnecessary langue. There was so much more than there needed to be. If you ask me I would’ve not put any. The book is perfectly fine without them.
That being said if it was not for all of the cussing than I would have began by telling you how much I loved this books out of all of the books. This one was unlike any of the other ones, because you get to see each character mature in ways you never thought possible. I love how you can tell they mature just by the simplest things. Just one sentence can show you how much each character, but in this book there is one paragraph that I think says it all.
But this isn’t a story about superheroes. There’s nothing super or heroic about watching helplessly as your friends and family are slaughtered, about your tiny town getting burned to the ground, about living under the crushing weight of a colossal lie, or about being scared all the time, wondering if each day will be your last.

While I told you that Wisp is my favorite character, I think I was wrong about saying that. I think that truly Cardyn came and stole that title away. He has a way of calming my heart in the tough times. A lot of the times I would die laughing with the things he would say. It was unlike anything I could think of. For instance:
“Probably what every evil warlord wants: the chance to flex his muscle, consolidate power, secure his territory, send a message to his enemies, and make himself feel big by making someone else feel small.” Cardyn nods. “Or maybe he just needs a hug.” “I volunteer you.” “I think I’m all hugged out.”
Survival
For that reason I think that Cardyn is my new favorite character.
