Stone Braide Chronicles

review 1: ThunderThe Stone Braide Chronicles 1By Bonnie S. CalhounDetermined to prove her worth to her father and her older brothers, Selah is determined to capture a Lander. She's been warned to stay away from the beach and away from Landers. But she can't stay away on this the eve of her eighteenth birth remembrance. But little does she realize that this simple act of disobedience is about to forever alter her life. More than a century has passed since the Time of Sorrows. In that time few outside the Mountain have had dealings with those within. The Company is secretive and hidden from the outside world, but they want Landers and they are willing to pay for them. And unless Selah can get rid of the Lander mark she woke up with she will soon be hunted down like a Lander and... more sold.Landers are of importance only if they retain their markings and their memories. But Selah has no Lander memories so why is she now marked? Determined to steal back the Lander she captured before her brothers sell him, Selah sets out towards the Mountain. Can she get Bodhi Locke away from her brothers or will the truths about her new identity be lost to her forever?Thunder is a set in the future. The world as we know it has been destroyed and yet humanity has survived. But the very tendencies that brought about this destruction still exist within the hearts of those who survived and their offspring. Dangers exist both within the Mountain and without, the question is which danger is the greater risk to those who are hunted? And who or what are Landers? These marked people have abilities (both mental and physical) that are beyond what is considered normal. Fans of dystopian or speculative fiction should enjoy this new series. In a world destroyed by the very people who called it home a new civilization of survivors has grown up amid the destruction. And in this world various groups are vying for supremacy. Will the errors of the past be repeated or will the knowledge that the Landers possess change everything?I for one can't wait for book 2 Lightning (Fall 2015) and the answers it may reveal or raise.I was provided a copy of this book by Revell in exchange for my honest review.
review 2: Thunder is book one of the Stone Braide Chronicles by Bonnie S. Calhoun. This is a young adult dystopian novel. Even though it was written towards young adults, it is well worth an adult eye.Selah is a young woman coming of age, nearing her eighteenth birth remembrance. She waits and watches as a Lander boat is coming ashore at her beach. This handsome Lander, Bodhi will change the way she looks and feels about things during their journey to find Selah’s father. Selah’s brothers try to get to her before she reaches her destination but Selah recaptures her prisoner, the Lander Bodhi. Evil forces run amuck in the Mountain where Lander’s bring a high price. Selah comes upon a dirty girl that has been living by herself since her mother dies, Selah can’t leave her behind. Selah feels things for Bodhi and he teaches her to communicate other than speaking. This helps along the way and when they reach their destination.This futuristic novel of 150 years after the Sorrows, or nuclear war, will take you to places that may seem familiar; or may seem prophetic to today’s time. Bonnie Calhoun’s characters are well introduced and the plot is in-depth. This book is worth the read, for any age.I received this book from Revell books. less
