Commentary During Books The Hero Strikes Back (Hero #2)

In a realm beset by natural disasters, only the magical abilities of the bonded Pairs—Source and Shield—make the land habitable and keep the citizenry safe. The ties that bind them are far beyond the relationships between lovers or kin—and last their entire lives…Whether they like it or not.

The weather in the city of High Scape is off the charts. It’s snowing in the middle of summer, and the townsfolk are desperate for Shield Lee Mallorough and Source Shintaro Karish to fix it—which they can’t do. But try explaining that to an angry mob…

Meanwhile, there’s a crazed killer targeting aristocrats. Karish has forfeited the Dukedom of Westsea to continue working as a Source, but Lee fears that technicality won’t matter to the murderer. It certainly doesn’t matter to Karish’s mother, who’s bound and determined that he take the title.

Only by working together will Lee and Karish be able to figure out the weather, catch the killer before it’s too late, and most importantly…get rid of Karish’s mother.

I really enjoyed this one. The world building was as well done as in the first novel in the series. Also, one aspect I particularly enjoyed was the character development: I truly enjoyed the fact that the characters seemed to mature and evolve as individuals. I also loved the fact that the main characters were fleshed out in this novel -we learned a lot about what made them the way they are. The adventure in the novel was truly gripping and quite suitably creepy and frightening (especially

Ever since I read the first book in this series, I've been taunting myself with the second, reading the first page or two, and then ultimately putting it down in favor of something else. This time, however, I finally decided to finish it up. And now I'm struggling with what to say about it. Here's my conundrum. I'm in a reading slump, in a general life slump, with not much being able to hold my interest. So I struggled with the beginning of this book much more than I had expected I might. I felt

Love the characters and the series <3

I liked this a lot. Seriously enjoying this series. Mostly for the banter.I was intrigued by the family stuff in this one. Karish's mother is just plain awful - no surprise there. Lee's is more complicated though. It's interesting. (view spoiler)[It does make me wonder what she thinks a mother's role in her daughter's life should be. It seems to me that she's mistaking influence and even control for affection, in many ways. I don't know. It figures I would identify with Lee on this one. (hide

After their last adventures, the Pair is back in the city of High Scape, normally a hotbed of disasters which the Pairs must avert. Now there are odd climate changes, but not disasters, and on top of that Lee is afraid for Taro because minor nobles have been disappearing. Again Lee is the narrator of this story so we see everything from her perspective. I get the feeling that although she's supposed to be an observant and quiet Shield, she misses a lot about other people and how they perceive

"The Hero Strikes Back" is the continuation of Mrs. Moore's "Hero" series and the second book in said series.The book's plot starts around one year after the events of the first book. Taro and Lee are still posted in High Scape, but now it has become a cold site. (A Cold Site is a place without natural disasters.) This does not mean everything is fine since now the weather is acting really strange. It is summer but it snows and then suddenly a heat wave hits the town. The residents are angry and

Most people seem to like this book more than the first book, but I actually enjoyed this less. I think the plot of this book is weaker than the first, and not only that, it is a bit messier, with several subplots that border on family melodrama. I think one of the worst things about first person pov is being stuck in the head of someone you don't really like. Ok, I do like Lee, but there is an immaturity to her inner thoughts that seems incongruous with the supposedly stoic and rational nature
