Oh my goodness, make sure you set aside a day of no interruptions for the conclusion of the Snow Dualoligy. A fitting end to this pair of books because as much as I tried to guess what would happen, I did not even come close. Mary Weber is extremely skilled at world-building, character development and making me stay up way into the night because I HAVE TO READ ONE MORE CHAPTER. Without giving away any spoilers, in The Evaporation of Sofi Snow, we really get to know Sofi, but in Reclaiming Shilo Snow we get to know a lot more about some of the other characters who were in the first book. While much is uncovered and revealed, this book kept me on the edge of my seat right up to the satisfying end.

This book, while fast-paced and superbly entertaining, raises an awareness of the state of humanity as a whole today, here and now and the choices we make to make a better future for all, particularly the vulnerable. I'm kinda sad in a way that it's all over, this one is definitely worth a few re-reads, and definitely goes on my keeper shelf.

It seems that Mary Weber's writing is a drastic hit or miss for me. I loved the beginning of the Storm Siren trilogy, but to this day I'm pretty sure I didn't even totally understand the third book. The case is the same with this series. The concept and direction of the plot are phenomenal and I am so on board for that. But when it comes to the actual characters and world building, I just can't connect no matter how hard I try. Which leaves me feeling overall pretty meh about the series. I so wanted to love it, but I just couldn't get there. There were some ideas and scenes that I loved, but there were equally as many that were bland and boring or just totally confusing. I would have picked this series up because of my love for 2/3 of the Storm Siren trilogy, but after this I don't know if I'll try another Mary Weber book.
