Review of Power of Three
Posted: 24 Oct 2022, 16:05
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Power of Three" by Cathy Parker.]
The idea of three as one can denote some things to people. An example of such meaning is in a marriage, where it means the husband, wife, and God. Still, in all these meanings, being a team is a general concept. In the book, Power of Three, by Cathy Parker, the three involve a team of dissimilar kinds. They were a woman, a whale, and an alien child. This is a bit weird because what could be the connection between a human, an animal, and an alien? What makes these three powerful together?
Shannon Kendricks was like every other woman going about her business. She was stressed over ending a relationship that she was no longer comfortable with because the guy in question wanted something she couldn't give. She enjoyed volunteering at the SeaQuarium, where she got to meet a lot of different sea creatures. Her favorite was the beluga whale, Juneau. One day, she got struck by lavender lightning. This traveled into her and brought Juneau and Essi with it. So, she had to share her body and mind with them. How would this affect her? Would she ever go back to being normal? What was Essi doing outside her world? Does she want to return home? Would she ever? What would happen to Juneau's body? Will it survive without its mind? Read the book to find out the answers to these questions and lots more.
Shannon was one very brave woman. Her selflessness and bravery touched me in a way that nothing else had in a very long time. I enjoyed reading about her. Though there were lots of characters in the book, I didn't feel bombarded. The author's description of the characters in the book as well as the places was another thing I enjoyed about the book. I could picture each character, place, and event clearly in my head. It opened my eyes to what could be going on in the minds of animals and to the possible existence of a world besides our own.
I had an issue with this book, which I disliked. It wasn't a sequel, but I saw loose ends that needed to be tied up. While reading, I noticed a connection between Shannon and Luke Quintana. At the end of the book, Shannon was approached by someone, possibly Luke from the description we have of the voice, yet nothing was said as to if these two ended up together or not. We were also not told if Shannon and Becky repaired their relationship and became best friends again. All the same, it was a good book.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I found no errors. It was exceptionally well-edited. I removed a star because of how the book ended. It was not satisfying. Some readers might not appreciate this. I recommend this book to people who enjoy reading about aliens and sea life. I also recommend it to those who enjoy reading paranormal thrillers.
