![]() And Raiden, let me talk a little about the villain. I was also glad to see that Gavin, Audra’s hawk companion, was doing all right. Aston was a very interesting, conflicted character who I liked but wondered if liking him was wrong… Vane’s mom was hilarious. I don’t know what he’ll do in the next book, if he’ll give in to his darker side or fight it. (That was a very hard scene for everyone. Moving along… I loved Gus - short for Gusty, haha! He really balanced out Vane and helped everyone stay levelheaded - although there were times when Vane helped him out, too. You’ve stopped doubting yourself and feeling ashamed of your forbidden bond, Audra - yaaaaas! I am so happy and proud! □Īhem. ![]() Not that he ever did have any thoughts because he is so hopelessly in love with you! Nevertheless, I am glad you’re not going to let Solana wiggle her way in at all. You go, girl - kick Solana’s butt and make sure your man never has any thoughts about his ex-fiance. *Wink.* Audra was way more serious and quiet - but I literally fist-pumped when she said to herself:Īnd if I have to fight for him, I will. Vane had me cracking up on multiple occasions with his sarcasm and his constant thoughts about his girlfriend - you know, boy thoughts. This is rare in books, when the voices of various characters can sound almost identical. It was also very teenage angst-y, with Vane hopelessly in love (aAs I said in my review of Let the Sky Fall, Vane and Audra have such distinct voices that it was so easy to know who was narrating. The beginning was a little slow, but I think that was mostly due to Vane and Audra being apart. It’s not really a love triangle… it’s just extremely awkward for everyone. I was also scared there would be a love triangle, since Vane kind of broke off his engagement to Solana by bonding himself (it’s a sylph-specific thing) to Audra last book. I was worried that this would be a book where the two characters are separated from each other for almost the whole story - but, thankfully, Vane and Audra do meet up about a third of the way through. However, this leaves Vane, the new King of the Windwalkers, mostly on his own in a dangerous war against Raiden. ![]() ![]() At the end of Book 1, Let the Sky Fall (go read my review here), Audra kind of had a nervous breakdown after the gigantic and shocking battle, and she spends a good chunk of Book 2 off on her own trying to piece herself back together. But even if they survive the storms sent to destroy them, will they have anything left to hold on to?Īudra’s been gone for almost a month, and it’s driving Vane absolutely crazy. With the Gale Force weakened by recent attacks, and the power of four collapsing, Vane and Audra are forced to make a choice: keep trusting the failing winds, or turn to the people who’ve betrayed them before. She possesses the secret power her enemy craves, and protecting it might be more than she can handle-especially when she discovers Raiden’s newest weapon. And the farther she flees, the more danger she finds. Even from Vane, who she doesn’t believe she deserves. And as his enemies grow stronger, Vane doesn’t know how much longer he can last on his own.īut Audra’s still running. By the treacherous winds that slip into his mind, trying to trap him in his worst nightmares. By the lies he’s told to cover for her disappearance. By the searing pull of his bond to Audra. | View Let the Storm Break on Goodreads here. | Read my review of Book #1, Let the Sky Fall, here. | My copy: Hardcover, 381 pages, Simon Pulse (Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing Division), 2014. ![]() Let the Storm Break by Shannon Messenger (Sky Fall, #2). ![]()
