Title: Storm Chaser
Series: Sun Catcher Trilogy - 2nd book
Author: Sheila Rance
Comments: Maia is the Sun-Catcher, able to catch the sun and wield its powers of fire. She is surrounded by her friends but also her enemies who want her power. While it sounds like a great concept, the execution is quite lacking. The novel overall doesn’t feel like it has a destination it is aiming towards. The constant shifting of character viewpoints makes it confusing and difficult to keep up with. This is made worse by the short chapters so you feel like you are frequently jumping from viewpoint to viewpoint without rest. Once it finally settles mostly on Maia’s viewpoint towards the end, you feel like she lacks motivation. The lack of a proper climax and the feeling of such discrete storytelling, makes it easy to lose track of the story Storm Chaser is trying to tell.
Rating: 5.5/10
