While We Run eBook Karen Healey Reviews
Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales
Quick & Dirty Fast paced story full of action, romance, and mystery. I really enjoyed this and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great young adult sci-fi book.
Opening Sentence They always wanted me to sing “Here Comes the Sun.”
The Review
Abdi Taalib has spent the last 6 months as a slave to the Australian government. He left his home in Djibouti to attend a prestigious school where he had a musical scholarship. Everything was going great until he met Tegan. A beautiful girl that died a hundred years ago, but they preserved her body. She was brought back to life and now she is an icon for the Australian government. But she uncovered a sinister plan and exposed the government. Afterwards there needed to be some major damage control and the government has forced Tegan and Abdi to fix things.
They have been tortured into compliance and they don’t know how much more they can take. Luckily they have some allies that go to great lengths to rescue them. Soon they are on the run and they aren’t sure who they can trust. Their supposed allies might not have the best intentions and the people they escaped from are relentless to get them back. Soon they realize that if they want to permanently stop the Australian government they are going to have to make some tough choices that may cost thousands of people their lives.
This was all told from Abdi’s POV, which I really liked. You get to learn so much more about him and that made my connection with him grow immensely. I really liked him in the first book but seeing this new vulnerable side to him made him a much more realistic character. While he was imprisoned by the government he was tortured in many different ways and it has caused him to have a lot of anger. It was interesting to watch him try to cope with everything that has happening to him and made me really feel sympathetic towards him. Overall, I really liked his character and was glad that I got to be inside his head.
I fell in love with Tegan in the first book and my love for her just grew. It was interesting to see her through Abdi’s eyes and what he thought of her. Instead of being the scared girl that had to start over she had become a strong person that everyone looks to as a leader. She’s not perfect but her flaws just make her a more likeable character. The relationship between Abdi and Tegan was full of struggles, but I really loved them together. I thought that the way things developed was very realistic and eventually, I felt that connection that they had in the first book.
While We Run is an action packed unique sci-fi book. From the very first page you are thrown back into the wonderful world that Healey created in the first book and I was hooked immediately. The fast pace and intriguing plot makes this a very quick read. I liked that it was all told from Abdi’s POV, it gave you a different side to the story that you didn’t get to see in the first book. The only thing that I didn’t like was that I felt the story didn’t progress quite as much as I would have liked it too. It was a continuation of the first book but the plots were a little too similar and that made it feel slightly repetitive. You could actually read this as a standalone and I don’t think that you would be too lost but I would suggest that you read both of them to get the full effect of the story. The ending was very satisfying and I can’t wait to see what else Healey comes out with next. I would highly recommend this series to anyone that likes young adult sci-fi books.
Notable Scene
Making noise in public had to be punished.
From the outside, I must have looked a little unwell, perhaps momentarily dizzy. Faces turned toward me, then politely away.
Diane laid her free hand on my wrist, her face com posed in concern. Her other hand was hidden in the folds of her outfit, clutching the implant controller, and that was the one I watched.
It felt like eternity. It always did. Realistically, though, it was only a few seconds that I suffered, while Diane touched me and smiled, her hidden hand drawing pain from me until I thought my bones would burst through my skin. When she finally turned off the controller, I almost collapsed with relief, locking my knees at the last second.
“There we go,” Diane murmured, and stroked my sweating palm as if she were soothing a fretting pet. “Do you think you can talk about the camps for me now?”
“Yes, Diane,” I said, and hated myself
FTC Advisory Little Brown Books for Young Readers/Hachette Book Group provided me with a copy of While We Run. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
My sister recommended "When We Wake" to me. She gave me that book and I read it. It was a little bit weird, but I also really liked it, so I wanted to finish the story. I bought this book and liked it pretty well. I hope that this wasn't the end of the story! I would love to read more on this story line. WOULD RECOMMEND FOR young adults or teens who like dystopian-type stories like The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Matched Trilogy, etc.
I love this book. I will look forward to reading more books from this author. I love the characters and her story line, it keeps me wanting more from this series!
This book is a very interesting continuation of Tegan's story, told from the perspective of Abdie. It is well-written and believable, drawing the reader into the world of Australia a century from now. Convincing science fiction, with a well-rounded group of characters. Well worth a read!
