micaela_ru 's review for:
Storm Thief
by Chris Wooding
Finally got to read this book. I read the first page of it years ago in high school when a former friend had a copy of it. I don't think she finished it, deciding it was "boring". The first few chapters are a bit slow, which is odd since the first few chapters have the characters running for their lives. That may actually be the problem: We know nothing about these people at that moment and it isn't the best way to get a feel for the world.
Anyway, once the story gets going, it goes. It is well-paced and beautifully written. Very interesting, dark world. Good read. The characters were distinct, though I was pained at how physically weak Moa was to the point of being a burden on her friends. I think the reason for her sudden bouts of physical weakness was explained, but it still bothered me.
Anyway, I really wish there was a sequel to this story, but at the same time I'm glad there is not.
The story is refreshingly well-written and well developed without dragging on for pages. The relationships are complex and fascinating and none of the characters are love-struck morons. They're products of their environment and it shows.
The plot and concept is refreshing and unique and goodness...this author's way with words is inspiring.
Worth reading.
