WHEN THE STORM BREAKS, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO STOP IT.
In the future,
the world is united under the power of a charismatic leader, and everyone gets
“the Mark” at age thirteen. The Mark lets citizens shop, go to school, and even
get medical care—without it, you’re on your own. Few refuse to get the Mark.
But those who did refuse are fighting back. Logan Langly is the unlikely leader
of the Markless revolution. He started out to find his sister Lily, who
disappeared during her Marking pledge, but now he’s fighting for much more.
With the threat of a chemically-manufactured plague that will potentially kill
millions and a drought that is nearing critical mass, someone has to step in.
But when Lily
appears with a special mission for Logan ,
it’s difficult to know if he can trust her. And with the weather becoming more
and more unstable, a storm is coming that will put everything Logan and the Markless have for at risk…
My Review:
And finally, the time you’ve all been waiting for….(haha,
just kidding. I know very few of you probably read my review all the way
through) Okay, so, the third installment in the Swipe series. If you read my
reviews for the first 2 books you’d see that the Swipe series is one of my
favorites. While Swipe and Sneak were both AWESOME books they didn’t compare to
Storm. If Even Angler keeps writing books this awesome he’s going to be the
next Tim Lahaye or Jerry Jenkins!
Storm is
full of so many twists in the plot that may leave your head spinning so badly
you’ll have to take something for vertigo (okay, maybe not that bad, but you
get the point). Maybe it’s just me, but every time I read more of Logan ’s story I fall more
in love with this series. I hated that Mr. Angler tried to kill of a very
important character, I mean who does he think he is? The author? Leave the
important and favorite characters in there! :) I was so scared to finish the
book in case an important character died.
I love how
Mr. Angler incorporated his own book into Storm. I’ve never seen an author do
that before and it way blew me away. And also, how he continued to incorporate
the Tribulation into Storm. And how Mr. Angler explained the Rapture was
AMAZING!
Mr. Angler
you are an amazing and talented author! Please keep more of the series coming!
:D

Yes, I loved how our band of "Remnant Dust Members" brought about the tribulation/revolution!
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I liked this book a lot too. It was interesting how they found a copy of Swipe and then we met the author. I'm curious if the author is a main character in disguise or if it's just a fun thing. If it's the latter, it seems odd. I hope it's something more.
ReplyDeleteGood review -- like how the author adds to the paranoia in his author's note, the website, even the back cover blurb (and of course, the copy of Swipe showing up).
ReplyDeleteThis was totally a great book!
ReplyDeleteGreat review. Liked the part where you wondere who he was to kill off a character. Incorperating his book was cool. If you ever want to read other authors who do this, I know another one. Good job.
