![]() ![]() ![]() The way that ended, it cannot be left like that. I thought we'd all go out with a bang, and that I'd have to say goodbye to Ruby and Darius and Princess Priti. Quite simply put, I'M GOING TO NEED A THIRD BOOK LIKE YESTERDAY. This review is based upon a complimentary copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I hope there is a third, because I have seen the potential of the story and the author’s talent, and it would be a shame for it to end this way. If you read and enjoyed “H2O”, then I do recommend you read “The Storm” to find out how it all ends, but be prepared for some frustration. Additionally, there was another case of “Emotional Blackmail” present, bringing in something that was wedged into the plot just to force an emotional reaction from the reader. The ending was rushed and felt like it should have been an entirely separate book. The story was enjoyable, but seemed to skip around, with the most important parts cut short. Unfortunately, the rest of it seemed to lack cohesion. Many of the other eclectic characters also make reappearances, with their stories further expanded upon. Ruby is the same as she was in “H2O”, complete with microscopic steps toward personal growth. “The Storm” is the sequel to “H2O”, the apocalyptic novel about killer rain. ![]() ![]() Prabhakar soon becomes his friend and names him Lin (Linbaba).

At first I assumed this was done to protect themselves from the increasing air pollution in urban India but why the whole face, I wondered and asked my relatives and friends. ![]() ![]() I was struck by the unusual, boldly flamboyant way in which they covered their faces.
