A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir

4.0

Well, I must say it wasn´t that bad. The author says this is her best work, but I think the first book is the perfect one. I hated and love this book, but I was satisfied with the ending at least.

Lets talk about the main characters:

Elias
I love him. He was everything I love in a male protagonist, but where his story went was awful. How can he be jealous of Musa but wasn´t when Kenan slept with Laia? and then the whole soul cachter plot. It was like I lost Elias, his personality, the love and guilt he felt, his humanity all gone. It was like reading about someone else. The worst part that at the end you get Elias back but it was to short and not enough.

Laia
(SPOILER ALERT) I hated her since she had sex with Kenan. She claim to feel something for Elias but easily sleep with a guy she also claim to love. I guess I was glad she was a bit more secure about herself, but for the rest of the story I didn´t like her stubborness and how all of a sudden she was an excellent fighter and brave.

Helene
She was to become a version of Queen Elizabeth I. I hated that she lost everyone, she didn´t deserve that much suffering, she deserve better.

If a movie was made I wouldn´t see it, too much suffering, children, families being killed, I couldn´t deal with that, I barely finish.
I will always remember how much I enjoy reading the first book. The other books where getting worst and worst. But it had the perfect ending which is something I love.
