Recruitment

The Resistance Trilogy, Book 1

By: K. A. Riley

Narrated by: Janelle Bennett

On Recruitment Day in the year 2042, Kress and her seven fellow Seventeens—including her best friend, her worst enemy, a brilliant strategist, a moody recluse, a trigger-happy killer, a timid giant, and the impossibly handsome boy she’s avoided all her life—are taken away by armed soldiers to aid in the fight against the invading Eastern Order. But what does preparing for war have to do with the disappearance of Kress’s father? Or the strange pattern of techno-genetic tattoos embedded in her forearms? Or her growing psychic connection with Render, her mysterious raven companion?

In a secret facility called the Processor, Kress and her fellow Recruits are subjected to endless weapons training, violent puzzles, dangerous war games, deadly escape rooms, and impossible Virtual Reality simulations. In the end, they’ll get answers to questions they’ll wish they never asked.

I just love kress personality

I love everything in this book amazing 10 out of 10 great job favorite character has to be manthy

Not bad

I enjoyed the story overall, but it could've done the same thing in probably half the pages. Worth the listen though and I will be listening to the rest of the series.

A little boring, at least at first. I haven't finished yet.

I haven't finished yet but this book does a lot of telling and not enough showing. I wish the narration did less telling me about all the characters and showed us by the interactions and story. I'm a little bored which is disappointing because the premise sounded promising.

Felt like a rough start - deceptively though

The start of this trilogy was deceptively shallow. Keep with it. At the end, you’ll be grateful that you did. My only judgment is that it feels like the book starts in both chapter one and chapter eight. But it kept me plugged in enough that I already bought book two! Clever is the word I’m looking for. I promise you it is worth sticking with it.

Amazing book

Loved the plot twists, I wasn’t expecting anything that happened at the end. Definitely worth buying.
