After reading her amazing debut novel, Those Who Save Us, I was eagerly anticipating this book; however, for me, it simply didn't work on several levels. I grew up in the midwest, so I well remember the havoc that tornadoes can cause. That said, I found there was way too much meterological information to sustain my interest for seemingly interminable passages. The main characters, a bi-polar, stormchasing man and his twin sister, never captured my interest. I think that Jenna Blum is an extraordinarily talented author who perhaps should have taken more time to write this second novel. Based on her first book, I will read whatever she writes, but I did find this one disappointing.
