After the Storm

Time Search #2

by Susan Sizemore

Don't fraternize with the locals. Every member of the Time Search team knew that was the cardinal rule of time travel. But when Libby was swept back to medieval England, she met the one man who could make her ignore it. Bastien of Bale, an outlaw as stunningly handsome as he was dangerous, unleashed in Libby a primeval passion that was like none she had ever known…and was yet somehow hauntingly, achingly, familiar.

I'm surprised it took me so long to read the sequel because I loved Book 1. I think I read a sample of this one before, but I remember it being completely different & confusing, so I stopped reading it. Maybe I was reading something else? idk

I guessed correctly how this book would have the same plot twist as the first book did, so that was pretty predictable. The plot twist is that the guy the girl meets traveling back in time is really from the same Time Search organization in the future. However, he's gotten stuck there in the past & temporarily has lost his memories.
In this book, Libby, the daughter of "Lady Jehane" and Sir Daffyd, or David Wolfe, had already been married to her Bastien de Bale in the past.

I just finished this book, but now it seems pretty forgettable. I'm debating lowering it to 2 stars...
I would have liked to know what Bastien looks like in real life because the way he was described was so intriguing--how can someone who looks hawkish be so handsome? And what does that even look like?

This “sequel” was just as enjoyable as the first book - if only a bit more rushed than the first. The twist was more predictable but after the twist was revealed the story still made for great “what will happen next?!” Once again, the twists on the twist were very satisfying.

Bit of fluff while my computer is broken. I'm a sucker for time travel books of any sort.

I enjoyed this, but not as much as it's predecessor.

Silly me, when I knew Wings of the Storm had a sequel I thought it'd be Jane and David's story continuing...but this book is about their daughter Libby and her Bastien... I like the interesting plot development and the story unfolding. Not going to say much so as not to spoil the fun for other would-be readers. Not sure if it's a normal trope but in both books at the end one of the main characters will have a is-s/he-in-love-with-modern-me-or-medieval-me struggle...only to realise they are both the one and same. Duh! Overall interestung and enjoyable book (s).

Enjoyable, great summer read

This is the second (I think) in this series. I read the first quite awhile ago, but not remembering its details had no effect on being able to follow this well thought out story. Good job!
