I have been enjoying the character, Sarah, as well. To me, by the end of the second book, I had more questions than answers. What happens next in the family? What was in the hold? How did the fire start? Will Louise be in the next book? etc.

Yes, I was left with many questions, too. I hope to see much more of Sarah in the next book.

I agree. I was expecting this book to be focused on Sarah and Tom. I wanted to see how their relationship grew and melded. Perhaps we will see more of them in the next volume!kdstrack wrote: ↑26 Apr 2019, 21:20 I enjoyed Strong Heart more. It was easier to form a relationship with Sarah and her emotional struggles. All readers could identify with those teenage years when you felt misunderstood, adventurous, rebellious... As the main character in the first book, I was waiting and waiting for Sarah to make her appearance in Adrift. In Strong Heart, Sarah had her "forest" experience. In Adrift, it was William who had to conquer the forest elements. These two now have a shared experience that can be highlighted in the next volume.

I noticed they were very different as well. What I liked was that I could read them out of order and still understand what was going on. I agree that the author does a great job. I believe a third book is in the works, there is an author input forum under the 'Adrift' discussions.ScottWize1 wrote: ↑02 May 2019, 15:50 I enjoyed them both, but they are different. The dialogue was better in Adrift and the structure was totally different than in Strong Heart. The parallel story lines in Adrift was interesting (in a good way) but I also really enjoyed the story line of Strong Heart. I think that the Author really describes generational differences well, and in an engaging, respectful way. I recommend them both to adult and young adult readers, and while I don't have a preference for which book, I do have a preference for reading them in order. I also hope that a third book in this series is in the works.

- Latest Review: Misreading Judas by Robert Wahler
I haven't gotten a chance to start reading it yet, but I'm almost afraid that if I read it before Strong Heart I'm going to have a difficult time following the story or it'll mess up the order of events, or even potentially spoil the first. I tend to be very picky about only reading a book if I've read the material that is supposed to come before it chronologically.
