The Huntress by Johan TwissMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I AM SLEEPLESS: The Huntress (Book 2) is a very well crafted Sci-Fi Fantasy. And I would imagine that fans of this genre will love sinking their teeth into this one! This is my second time reading this author and I must say I was very impressed yet again. Having read the first book in the series, I am Sleepless: Sim 299, I had high hopes for this second installment and the author did not disappoint.
The story had every element a good story should have. An exciting plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. There’s an abundance of well illustrated scenes that really make you feel like you are right there in the story, and that's something I really look for in a good book.
As the book description explains it better; “The plan was simple—escape, join the rebellion, find the Reader. But nothing is simple when Director Tuskin sends his Huntress after you. In this thrilling sequel, Aidan and his coterie are put to the test after discovering the secrets of Sim 299. When Director Tuskin destroys the sim system, Aidan, Fig, Palamos, and Masay are forced to escape the Mount Fegorio training complex and enter the outside world for the first time since their birth. But when things don't go as planned, the team must band together to survive and to avoid being captured by Sheva, the Huntress.”
This captivating and commendable work had me immersed from the beginning. The story flows from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional skill when it comes to storytelling. There are twists and turns in this page turner that will take the reader on a fascinating journey!
It’s one of those stories that come along once in awhile that makes you want to read it non-stop until you get to the end. I’m giving nothing further away here. And this, I hope, will only add to the mystery and enjoyment for the reader!
I’ll certainly be looking forward to reading more from Johan Twiss in the future. This has all the hallmarks of being a great series. I would definitely recommend this book! Five stars from me.
