Soul by Liz Shipton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This series is so good that I can’t stop long enough to dwell on the book I just finished and continue reading the next non-stop. Sadly, that means I can’t remember specifics about book #3. But it is full of adventure and exploration of unknown places.

What I like best about the series is the superpower of ADHD and how it affects a person. It can cause many problems, but it has surprising benefits when conquered. And even more so in these books.

After reading the author’s bio, I can see why she can write about it so believably.

I hope I’ve convinced you to give this series a try. A word of caution: There are sexy bits, but fast-forward works if you aren’t interested, and you won’t lose any story. Yet, the scenes don’t feel out of place, so they feel natural. These are for Young Adults. So…

Now I can get on with book #4!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, it is about time for a proper dystopian story. The post-apocalyptic world and characters are all well-developed. Flawed and real. And Raw. I didn’t know there were choices, but if you don’t want a little sexuality thrown in, there is a Young Adult version. But if you don’t enjoy the small bits here and there, you can always fast forward. The story works with or without. Either way, get ready for the troubled teen, Bird.

Pirates? It’s hard to tell, sometimes, who the bad guys or good guys are. It seems realistically portrayed from a personal point of view.

Adventure, disaster, balanced with a moment or two for reflection. I love it when books work that way. If you get the chance, read the blurbs about the book. Or better yet, pick this up, and I think you may find yourself immersed in a great journey.

I couldn’t wait when this one ended, I jumped right into the sequel, Sand. What a fun series!
