The BookWhisperer's Rating:
Kaida grew
up in two worlds--a child in the Manor raised by Sabah before she was granted
Citzenship. But the only place she has ever felt like she's belonged is with
Cedric and Guin, the boys she grew up with.
When
Cedric's involvement in a rebel faction goes wrong, the Commission exiles her
and holds Guin hostage. Now, she's on her own for the first time, and searching
for the sister who left her behind and a princess who was stolen from the
City--and then she stumbles across a face from the past.
Hawke has
been an outcast since his Tribe died. When he finds Sabah's sister on the road,
he agrees to help her. But as they search the wilds and grow closer, his
disdain for her is slowly replaced by a deep attraction for the girl who faces
every challenge so bravely.
And as the
City's deadline dwindles, and the boy she loves hangs in the balance, Hawke is
left to wonder if he is protecting her, or if he the biggest threat she will
face.
Yep, Andrews has done it again.
She has constructed such a world that made me lose a few days while
being sucked into Kaida’s world. She
also made me love Cedric, Kaida, and Guin together and then presented Hawke,
which had me torn for a little while.
This lady is absolutely brilliant.
Chasing the Wind follows the trio we were introduced to in Edge
of the Falls. However, they are in a
tight situation, which leads Kaida and Cedric to leave the City and rely on
Hawke to guide them to Sabah so they can ask for help. This leads to all sorts of craziness and I
loved every bit of it. Like the first
book, the second is filled with just about everything you could want and more.
This world Andrews has pieced together is a violent one but oh
so wonderful when you have the right person beside you. In this story, Kaida has Guin and Cedric but
you quickly realize that there might be someone a little better for her. Enter
Hawke: I didn’t think that anyone could beat Arjun as the greatest but Hawke
had me the moment that he claimed Kaida for her protection. I mean, when he says, “I will give up the
wind and chase you,” that was it for me.
I loved him and I knew that he was perfect for Kaida even though she
didn’t know it yet.
A few things that bugged me a little were Kaida’s constant back
and forth between the two men she grew up with and Hawke. It was very ping-pong-ish as a reader and it
upset me to know that she had such a wonderful man willing to be all hers but
she kept going back to the familiar.
Also, I guess I was expecting her to be more like Sabah – tough like
Sabah. But every once and a while Kaida
would break down but in the next scene, she would be as tough as nails. I was a little confused on who she really
was. However, none of this deterred me
from really loving this story. It is
still amazing and had me wrapped up in it all since the beginning. I can’t wait for the next installment.
