Let the Storm Break Sky Fall Shannon Messenger Books

This is a great sequel! I loved that Messenger hooked me with her story, more so than I was excepting to be. Normally when it comes to sequel, rarely do I find myself not rolling my eyes at something. Yes, I just admitted I roll my eyes at books, but only when I can totally point out what's going to happen next. This wasn't a sequel where I could point out what was going to happen next. That's not for a lack of not trying either. It was a harder to predict what was going happen. I liked that. With this storyline the risks are higher, there's more danger, and holy cliff hanger, just kill me now, that ending was awesome. Also, I learned a new word in this book....haboob! Go ahead and laugh, and then go google it. It's a real word.

I love a good series, but there are times when I get so excited about reading a sequel that I worry if it will live up to the acceptations I've had for it. When I have to wait over a year to read the next book, it's easy to overly hype it up in my mind. Which I've done a time or two, or more. There have been times when I've read a sequel that the character journey that often times takes place in the second book, falls flat. When that happens I am left feeling that the characters in book two are not the characters I feel in love with in book one. Luckily that is not the case for this book. Shannon does a great job at continuing Audra and Vane's story. I liked seeing the journey they each took, both individually in part of the story, and together.

There were times I felt Audra was a little selfish in her journey, but it didn't take me long to realize there was a reason behind what she was doing. In her own quest, she learns more about herself, the dangers she and Vane are up against, and the importance of really protecting the things you love most. Not that she didn't get that before, but I think she realized the urgency of having to make choices, and sacrifices more so now then previously. Vane gets huge kudos from me for standing firm in his feelings for Audra, even when doubt creeps into his mind, and some of those around him tell him it's a mistake. Outside of their bond/relationship, both Vane and Audra are forced to group up more, and make some critical choices. This story was one that had both characters questioning and realizing their roles in all that's going on around them. Whether they want to have the roles they do or not, they are forced to step into them.

I love the sweet, romantic relationship Vane and Audra have. It not only fits them, but it's fitting for this series. Often times I love a relationship that has more sizzling chemistry, and snark, but the relationship these two have is refreshing, and suits the two of them perfectly. If it had been written any other way, it wouldn't have matched who the characters are. With this sequel there's a new element to Vane and Audra's relationship. I don't even know how to describe it. There's no questions about the loyalty, devotion and love they have for each other. There's a lot more danger that threatens to not only break the two of them apart, but it threatens those they care about, and everything they've been entrusted to protect. When their love and the one thing they both fiercely protect is threatened, one of them makes an ultimate sacrifice to protect more than just their relationship.....

Aw, yes, that lovely sacrifice leads right into the book's lovely cliff hanger. I knew something was going to happen, I just didn't except it to be that, though I should have. Messenger does a great job at dropping hints through out the story about that very thing that happens. No, I won't say what that thing is. Looking back over the story I had a feeling that something was going to happen, but I couldn't pin point what exactly that was. Now everything makes sense, because Messenger doesn't include things into her story unless there is a reason for them to be there. I like that about her style of writing. There's definitely more action in this book, more danger, and some great twists that leave me wishing book three was coming out sooner rather than having to wait another year to find out what happens.

Let the Storm Break Sky Fall Shannon Messenger Books Reviews

I LOVED book 1 in this series, and consequently pounced on book 2. Within a page or two, everything came back to me all the romance, the sadness, the overwhelming odds stacked against Vane and Audra. Before I knew it, I was swept away once again.

A common pitfall for sequels, for me, is that they often lose track of the main characters' relationship, or they have plots that lag. In this book, Messenger keep us tightly connected to Vane and Audra as she kicks up the plot- and it works. The bad guys get worse, the storms get nastier, and a new character keeps you guessing about whether she is or isn't trustworthy.

Audra lacked a sense of self-worth in book 1, in favor of a willingness to serve as a Gale. In book 2 she works on developing her identity independent of her duty. This is much-needed plot thread, and provides complications that amp up the conflict.

Vane is, understandably, struggling with how much of his humanity he can hold onto while learning about his true place in a very non-human society. He also struggles with Audra's absence, and just how little he can do, as a passive Western sylph, about the awful things that are going on around him.

The big fight scene at the end- take your time while reading. It's worth savoring the description and dialogue. I remember just dying to learn what happened, and speeding through much of the scene. I shortchanged myself in doing so; don't make the same mistake.

This ending. . . good gravy. This ending will put you into a knot, because you don't get resolution for this cliff hanger for another year! It's a sweet kind of agony, for sure; the best kind of frustrating. Let me know if it has you chewing your nails, too.
Shannon Messenger chooses the prettiest titles and has some amazing covers that go well with her Let the Sky Fall series. And as a reviewer, I try my best (and mostly fail) to never judge a book by its cover and with Let the Storm Break I completely disregarded just how lovey dovey the cover is and hoped for a ton of action and great main characters unlike what happened in the first book. Did I get the awesome main characters I was hoping for?

Heck no!

When a book is four hundred pages, I expect a lot to happen. I expect a ton of action and character development and some romance. Let the Storm Break could have been cut down at least by a quarter because most of the book is just romance and nothing more. I was expecting a lot more character development and a LOT less Romance. Everything just focuses on the relationship between Audra and Vane and how much they love each other and need each other. I’ve never read such a love-sick guy in my life. Honestly, Vane, grow a pair before I slap you. His humour is also very contrived, I had a hard time believing a word that he said with his crappy sarcasm. Everything is still predictable, I knew what would happen in the end after only reading about a quarter of the novel which is sad because I was hoping that Messenger would still have a few tricks up her sleeve.

This series has very short chapters as well as smooth writing that helps makes the characters more bearable to read about. I enjoyed reading about the new characters that Messenger brings into Let the Storm Break especially Gus, who’s good-natured humour. There isn’t very much information on the different winds except for what we were told in the first book but I stilled loved this aspect of it. The Westerly language is amazing, their hope and faith and just heritage is so lovely and I felt whenever a westerly wind helps out Vane or Audra, that I was really excited.

Overall, Let the Storm Break is a disappointment. Rarely does a second novel beat out the first one for me, but I had really low expectations for this one. Honestly, all I wanted was less romance not more of it. However if you’re a fan of the romance taking over the plot then you will really like this novel. The idea of it is so captivating with the winds and how they’re all different yet so connected is the only reason why I’ll read the next book. Honestly.
