What if you could travel back in time and introduce "advanced technology to the 14th Century. How would that change history How would that change you?In The Bronze and the Brimstone these are the ideas that are explored in the second book in the Verona Trilogy. Airborne and I read all three of these books and what follows is our review of the books from both our point of views.
Me: Overall I liked this book. What do you like best about this book?
Airborne: I liked everything about this book. It had a great story, plot and I liked the re introduction of the characters from the first book, The Lens and the Looker.
Me: How did you feel about the love story between Hansum ( Romero) and Guilietta? I thought it was distracting from the better storyline of the three main characters.
Airborne: I felt like it was a an extensive foreshadowing of something that could turn into a major plot turn. However I may be biased because I have already read all three books so I know how all the stories fit together.
Me: How did you feel about the two other time travelers (Linclon and Shamira) not having as large a role in this book as they did in the previous book? I was disappointed that they did not have as large of a part in this book as in the last.
Airborne: I felt like Author was pushing away the characters as if they were not as important to the story any more.
Me: What else should we talk about to give the flavor of this book?
Airborne: It is very easy to visual what you are reading throughout the book.
Me: Why do you feel that way?
Airborne: because there is so much attention to detail. I also know alot about the time period as we have been studying it at school.
Me: Do you recommend this book book for other pre teens to read this summer?I would.
Airborne: Absolutely!
Well there you have it. If you are looking for great books for your kids to read this summer The Bronze and the Brimstone is a must.
