Really enjoyed The Rising Storm. Loved the characterization, the plot, and basically the whole thing. I was hooked from the beginning and to be honest I didn’t want to put it down at all! The whole post-apocalyptic, dystopian angle is nicely done, with some really great ideas as to how the people live in the aftermath of the events of the book. The Rising Storm is an exciting start to the series, and I can’t wait to read the next one!

I am a huge fan of dystopian books and couldn’t wait to get stuck into this one.

The story is told from two different perspectives using different timelines. I did enjoy this, and was interested to see where the timelines would finally merge. When they did I could see a little of where the author was heading, but then she threw in a few twists I didn’t see coming.

I liked that Carter, someone who has always stuck to the party line, eventually decides he may not believe all that he is being told and decides to do something about it. This leads to a great final chapter, and I cannot wait to see where the author takes us next.

Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for providing a copy.

Fast paced systopian perfect for young teens

I loved this post apocalyptic novel. On the cover we see the beautiful Alice who fled from a city devastated by rubble. She is 15 years old as well as the character of Carter. The chapters will be based only on his two characters. The storms ravaged everything she had home, family, she finds herself alone and is saved by the industries Paradigm. She will have to fight to save her skin. As for Carter, decades later, he is awakened from his cryonic sleep. He will learn some things about his family and will fall naked. Too eager to read the next volume. A beautiful story well written with endearing characters.​​​​​​

Thank for letting me read it! I will post a review closer to publication.

I really enjoyed The Rising Storm and loved the dual narratives. The story was gripping and I liked the characters. At first the story was hard to get into as it was difficult to picture this dystopian world a few chapters in and I was hooked. I can't wait for the other books to come out so I can continue the story.

Overall I liked this dystopian novel, however it did seem slow-paced and the dual narratives annoyed me.

The concepts were very interesting, the book just needed a little umph or push.

The Rising Storm is an amazing read! Action filled to the core! It was so engaging right from the beginning. The writing was intense, and the characters were well developed! Hands down, I would recommend this book!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
