I loved it in book one and I love it just as much in this book as well. ![]() I think this might be favorite magic system of all time. Y'all know I am a SUCKER for a villain's backstory and I think this worked really well for the book. Rage kicks off with a new element to the story and that's learning about how the Stormlord came to be and giving readers a little inkling on why he's hellbent on ruining the Locke family. They're all so lovable and sneaky and if I'm being honest, carry a large part of the story on their backs, more so than Roar. □□□□ The crew. I absolutely loved to be back with the crew that Roar surrounded herself with in book one. There were a lot of "ooooh now I remember" and "who the hell is that" going on for the first 25% of the book, but once I got it we were in good business. ![]() I had only read the first book a few months back but I was still so confused when I first picked up book two because I couldn't remember everything that happened. If you haven't picked up Rage yet I would highly recommend doing a reread of Roar. The highly anticipated sequel to Roar was equal parts thrilling and suffering from second book syndrome, but overall I have to say I enjoyed more than I disliked. ![]() "But in this city, in all Stormling cities, he was acutely aware that humans could cause just as much damage as the fiercest of tempests." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a riveting adventure, and I recommend it if you want to read about a different Neverland than the one you thought you knew. Our protagonist sets off on a quest to track down the beast that murdered her sister and avenge her death. This book gave her more, a backstory involving her family and insight into tribal dynamics and the social order in Neverland. I was particularly intrigued to hear from her character because, in most adaptations, she is an enigmatic side piece to Peter Pan's character, and she's always had the potential to be more. This one stuck out because it was darker and more profound than the other children's stories and added a necessary dimension to Tiger Lily. I quite enjoyed this book when I was reading through different retellings of classic novels by unconventional narrators. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Seoul, virtual companions with perfected natural language processing (NLP) skills offer orphaned twins new ways to connect.
