The Force of Wind by Elizabeth HunterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This series continues to amaze me. It just keeps getting better and better.
The tension, the mystery that surrounds the world of Gio and B is incredible.
The settings are fantastic…I particularly loved their trip to China in the quest to finding the answers to a lot of things that have come to light.
Gio is a truly fabulous character….a truly beautiful and good soul….
“We are not only creatures of the elements. Though these elements preserve our bodies, they are not the eternal energy of our souls. We are more. All of us. We are more than creatures of the physical world. We are creatures of the heart and the spirit. Of energy and things unseen. If we seek to preserve our bodies without accepting our need for humanity and what they offer us, we will be lost.”
A lot happens in this story…too much for me to write down.... there were some unforgettable moments that pulled at my heart.....what happens to Gio near the end just did me in….
“They don’t understand. They don’t know. I can feel your blood in me. It hasn’t cried out, so I know you’re still there. You just need to come back to me. They don’t know. But you do. Ubi amo; ibi patria. Hundreds of years. Thousands of miles. Pain. Loss. It’s so clear to me now. You are my home. You just need to come back to me, Jacopo.”
There are however, some funny moments……check out Tenzin…
“I’ve been alive for over five thousand years. If there’s one thing predictable about the male of the species, it’s their sex drive and their fascination with fire. Most advances in technology occur because they’re either trying to impress women or blow things up. It’s as predictable as the sunrise.” Tenzin
The way the author writes these characters – it’s like I know them so well and have come to like them so much.
Let’s just say that I loved this book and I can’t stop reading more....and can’t wait to start book 4.
