Kate has had to turn her attention to a homework project so her reading has slowed down, but she is past the halfway point on
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I managed a little more reading this morning and finished
Storm Thief by Chris Wooding. This young-adult sci-fi/fantasy novel had intriguing characters, a richly described world and thought-provoking ideas such as the probability storms. Yet, somehow this book did not quite live up to its potential for me. It felt as if the author was simply relating one event after another in quick succession. It was a shame, as the setting and the characters seemed to offer so much more. Perhaps Wooding will expand on these ideas in other books, though as far as I know, he has not written a sequel to
Storm Thief.
Kate will be playing in another recital this afternoon, so we will have just a couple of hours of reading time left. I'll be reading from
Lake Como Girls, the first book in a new YA mystery series by Yvonne Chypchar and also continuing to listen to
Holes by Louis Sachar on audiobook.
Well done!
