This book was the sequel to Before the Storm that I had just finished. I actually finished this a couple of weeks ago, but realized I never posted it! I think it says a lot about the quality of an author's writing if when a book is finished, you immediately pick up its follow-up. (But then again, I did read the Twilight series even though I hated it.... but I digress). Regardless, I certainly enjoyed the second book in this drama. The book focused on some of the secondary characters from the first book and it helped piece the whole story together. I did not like it as much, which is how I feel about most sequels, but certainly found it worthwhile, and hard to put down.
I'm realizing I have fallen woefully behind on my 52 weeks/ 52 books challenge, but have learned that travelling baseball teams, adorable four-year-olds, and keeping my sons happy has been a far bigger challenge. I won't meet the goal this year, but it is so much fun keeping track of what I am accomplishing in spite of my outside responsiblities. I should probably choose some shorter books, but .... ah... this is supposed to be fun and I don't want to think too much... (why I always choose fiction books!). :)
Did I like it? Yes. Would I recommend it? Yes -- but definitely read Before the Storm first. Rating? 4 out of 5
