AHH!!! Yes! Fantastic, amazing! I think this book is right on par with Ice Country or the book before this in the Saga. We start off with 2 characters (this is told from a dual perspective) who really are going through their own unique struggles. They are completely different people from different groups. As different as Icers and Heaters. So the uniqueness of their daily lives plays into their struggles as individuals and as part of a larger community which struggle to stay alive. I felt like the bigger question in this book was not what is going to happen next. You get the feeling like things will happen to draw them together like it is fate. But how will they react? Who will step up and do the unexpected thing? Or will they? I felt like this book was amazing. Very suspenseful and a page turner. Though the first half or so of the book was less a page turner it was still good. There is less action but very good character development that leads up to the last half of ACTION! But you felt attached to the characters and wanted to them do the right things. This is coarse leads up to the last 5 pages or so which walks us right into the last book The Earth Dwellers. WHOOT! Basically if you are reading this you are wondering if you should continue on with the series and the answer is YES! I felt like the Dwellers Sage was great and I am very excited to jump right into the next book (Which I will do about 10 seconds after I post this) Water and Storm Country by David EstesHuck Jones expects that now that he is fourteen and considered a man that he will be able to work with his father on his ship. However, after failing to defeat one of the slaves on their ship his father forces him to go on the worst ship telling him that if he can turn it around then he will be able to prove himself to him. Huck doesn't know how he is going to do it but things get even more complex when he finds himself growing attached to one of the slaves that work there. Sadie desperately wants to avenge her big brother who was killed when she was a child, but does she know everything about her brother's death? I was very excited to read this book. I loved the first two in this series and I thought that I would love this book too, and I did like it a lot. I liked Sadie's romance and her LI. I thought the two of them were good together. I also liked that there was no instant love with them. The two of them have spent a lot of time getting to know each other and he does annoy her sometimes. As for Huck's plot, I liked Jade. I didn't love her quite as much as I thought I would since she is a bit too much like Skye, but she was still an interesting character. I love her and her sisters. I felt bad for Huck sometimes because of the choices that he has to make and I felt bad for Sadie a lot.I did have a major problem with the Stormers in general. I felt they acted kind of inconsistently. They go to war against this one country because of something that they are doing to another country that they find to be wrong. However, later they say that they will not go to war against another one since they don't think it's a threat to them even though they kind of did threaten them. Overall I would give this book four out of five.
A page turner for sure! Brilliantly done! Now to buy the one that brings the two trilogies together!
