Steven C. (SteveTheDM) - San Jose, CA reviewed Red Lightning (Red Thunder, Bk 2) on + 134 more book reviews
This was a solid, well written story (in two parts), but ultimately failed to recapture the magic of Red Thunder (the book one prior in this trilogy).
Part of that is due to the switch from the narrow focus of the first book (misfits fly to mars), with themes and story lines that involve two entire planets.
Our hero is also a lot whinier than the protagonists in the earlier book as well, so he's harder to like. (He's also probably much more like a *real* teenager for exactly the same reason.)
So. Good read, but lacked the earlier punch.
4 of 5 stars.
