Week 26 Reviews: Stormbringer, Thunderstruck


The second book in the Weather Witch series in which Jordan Astrea learns of her true powers.

In the intrigue-filled follow up to Weather Witch, Jordan Astraea, once a young Philadelphia lady of good social standing, is now in the final stages of her brutal training to become a Conductor—the Weather Witch who serves as a living battery to keep the massive airliner Artemesia aloft. Meanwhile, Rowen, determined to rescue her after losing his only other true friend and being wanted for murder, has found himself forced aboard a much different air vessel, this one manned by a dangerous crew and carrying a cargo so treasonous, that, if finding its destination, will herald a storm of revolution for the still young United States.

With a spirit for adventure, romance, fantastic world building and cunning imagination, Shannon Delany delivers the sensational follow up to Weather Witch in the second book of the trilogy.

From Goodreads:
Jordan, Rowen and the crews of both the Tempest and the Artemesia strike out for Philadelphia to start a revolution aimed at abolishing slavery and changing their stormpowered society to one that runs on previously repressed steam innovations and will allow for true equality. But can Jordan and Rowen come back together after all the things determined to drive them apart?

My Review:
I had such a great time reading these books! I love her writing, and I really enjoyed the first book, so I was really anticipating to see where these two stories was going to go. Where it went, I had to keep reading, it was so enjoyable!

That Weather Witch ended with Jordan and Rowen separated, I had to know how they were going to deal with that, and get back to each other. I just adore them together, and I was rooting for them, even as their situation became more and more precarious. They had been through a lot, and they had changed and grown.

The position that she was in, with the training to be a Conductor, it boiled my blood. The whole system was awful, and I'm glad that it ended up being the center of a revolution.  That was really rewarding, to take down something awful, and replace it with something better!  

I had really come to care for these characters, and I wanted what was best for them. The world has been so interesting, and it's sad to say goodbye, but it was a heck of an adventure, and I had a really great time reading it! 

Loved finally finishing off this series, and I would love to read more by Shannon Delany!
