I love a book that sucks you in within the first few pages and doesn't release its grasp until the end; sometimes holding on long after the cover has I love a book that sucks you in within the first few pages and doesn't release its grasp until the end; sometimes holding on long after the cover has been closed. In this regard, Stormrise did not disappoint at all.
From the beginning, it is obvious that Ms. Boehme is a genius with words. The way that she weaves the story, page after page, through character and plot developments feels incredibly natural. Her characters are relatable, with a fantastic mixture of realness, humor and awkwardness that I could relate to with knowing chuckles but also with choices to be brave and heroic in the face of what seemed like insurmountable odds; character traits that I would strive to have.
The plot flows smoothly from beginning to end, always giving me just enough tantalizing action that I simply could not stand to put the book down. And, it was with a box of tissues on hand that I completed the final pages of Stormrise.
You would do yourself a favor to grab a copy of Stormrise and immerse yourself into the life of Rain and follow her journey to defy the odds to become a respected Neshu warrior and bring honor to her family.
I believe that Jillian Boehme is an author to watch; her writing promises many more page turners that are next to impossible to put down ~ perfect traits of a great book! ...more
