Is anybody else excited about A Sky Beyond the Storm like I am? I’m so glad I buy my books with Amazon gift cards, because nobody in our house has worked since April, and I wouldn’t be able to afford it now.
Anyway, the Kindle edition drops in a little less than 1 hour and 40 minutes. I’m getting the hardback, so I’ll have to wait a bit. It was shipped via Amazon, so it could arrive any time between morning and afternoon. I teach until 3 tomorrow, and then I have a class planning meeting for next semester after that, so I won’t get to dive in until early afternoon anyway.
I reread the books this fall, and came up with a theory of how it will end, based on my reread and the cover to this book. Or at least one aspect of the ending. I don’t know if I’m right or not, but I’m going to put it here. I’m going to make the text color the same as the background in the unlikely event that I’m right. I’ll update this after I read the book with whether I was right or not. You can highlight it to see my thoughts.
So here’s my theory about Laia and Elias:
You know how in the past, there was more than one Soul Catcher? My theory is that Laia will become a Soul Catcher and she will live with Elias as an additional Soul Catcher and live happily ever after.
I’m guessing lots of other people will die (including Helene, based on something Cain said to her), and there may be other Soul Catchers, but after much death and tears, the good people will win the war.
The book is 528 pages, so it might take a few days to find out whether I’m right or not, but whether I am or not, I’m sure it’s going to be an amazing–and heartbreaking–book.
