That’s why everyone who takes longevity drugs must sign a declaration saying that they will not have children. Sounds great at first - until you realize that if no one dies and people keep having children, population growth explodes and there just aren’t enough resources to go around. THE DECLARATION and its sequel THE RESISTANCE are set in a world where a longevity drug has been developed that essentially lets people live forever. So, yeah, overall it was a really good read.
It employed some crazily good elements of mystery, horror and science-fiction it also made me sure that I would be getting the next book in the series, even if the ending didn't call urgently for it. Anna was far more bearable in this book than the last, and I liked the twist in the story (that I'm obviously not going to give away and ruin for other readers). There is no "oh my god, I must know what happens next" and Gemma Malley went and did it again with the second in the series.īut, aside from that fact, I am completely in love with this dystopia that Gemma Malley has created. I finished the first book thinking "hey, that was a really original story" but I only half-heartedly purchased the second one because the first one had ended with both Anna and Peter alive, well and no longer on the run. Both books follow the same format of Problem > Panic > Solution > The End. Look, I really enjoyed this book, probably even more than the first one when I got into it but the author went and did exactly the same thing again.
