Unfinished Business
The narrative is dry and emotionally distant, leaving me feeling completely detached from the characters—like observing ants on an anthill, watching their daily movements without ever truly understanding or connecting with them. To make matters worse, the story ends on a cliffhanger. I thoroughly dislike this tactic in a series because it leaves a book feeling incomplete, and it feels particularly egregious here as the story cuts off right while we are waiting for a critical answer.
We are promised an impending storm, and we watch the characters prepare for its arrival, only for them to discover they are not nearly as ready as they believed. On the spiritual side, the evangelism felt forced at times, though I appreciated that each character ultimately came to salvation on their own. While the scripture included was a nice touch, it lacked the weight needed to truly inspire a change of heart. Drawing more heavily from Revelation and Isaiah would have conveyed the message with the power and depth it desperately needed.
