This is an excellent young adult series. It has all the aspects that are drawing teens to books – strong female lead, plenty of action, a bit of the paranormal – and it tackles real issues that teens face – belonging, doing what is right, loyalty, them versus us mentality – without being preachy. I love that the series features native people groups. If you are needing a break from the dystopian and fantasy novels, but don’t want to stray too far, then the Windstorm series is perfect for you.
