The weekend is coming up. With more fall like weather (hopefully), it’s the perfect time to curl up with a good book, and lose yourself. Last year, I told you to binge read Nadine Brandes’ A Time to Die. This year, I’m telling you to binge read the second in the series, A Time to Rise (and you’re in luck! The third and final book comes out in a few short weeks!)
In book one, the questions is asked, “How would you live if you knew the day you’d die?” Book two asks, “What happens when you live longer than you wanted to?”
Parvin Blackwater wanted to die, but now she’s being called to be a leader. The only problem is, no one wants to follow.
The Council is using Jude’s Clock-matching invention to force “new-and-improved” Clocks on the public. Those who can’t afford one are packed into boxcars like cattle and used for the Council’s purposes. Parvin and Solomon team up to rescue the people. Instead, they find themselves on a cargo ship of Radicals headed out to sea. What will the Council do to them? And why are people suddenly dying before their Clocks have zeroed-out?
Book two is just has exciting and addicting as book one—I’ll even venture to say this one is even more action packed. And you travel quite a bit in this book. From Parvin’s home of Unity Village (Missouri area) to Prime (New England area) to Panama and Antartica to Lost Angels (California) and Ivanhoe. So much fun. I love the world that Nadine has created! I promise you’ll fall in love with Parvin even more in book two as she grows in her faith! Ditch the Netflix binging this weekend and binge on this book!
