May 13th's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

Welcome to Friday the 13th.  And that means it is time for Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week, I'm featuring a YA fantasy book, which I just finished a couple of hours ago.  I'm aiming for a review on Sunday.  Let the Wind Rise by Shannon Messenger is the third in the trilogy.




I've been waiting 2 years for this book to come out, and it was worth the wait.  But I'll save the rest of my review for Sunday.  Meanwhile, here's how the book begins:

They're calling it "California's Worst Natural Disaster in Decades."
But there was nothing "natural" about it.

And from page 56:

"So...basically you want to torture her," I clarify.
"Only for a few minutes.  Don't tell me she doesn't deserve it."

Have a great weekend!

  1. This series was always just okay for me. So, I don't know when or if I'll ever get to Let the Wind Rise. But, I'm glad you seem to have enjoyed the book. :-)

  2. I don't think I've ever read anything by this author. I'll have to check into this fantasy series. I am spotlighting The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye this week. Happy reading!
