Book Synopsis
“The lightning brain had been waging a life-or-death battle against the T-Plague virus for the past twenty-four hours… The lightning brain had won, but victory came at a terrible cost; neural entanglement gravely crippled Electra’s lightning brain.”
Book three picks up where book two’s “Death Vigil” ends. The lightning brain must repair itself before Electra can rejoin the battle against the Techno-Plague as well as contend with war raging in Cyberspace directed by a rogue Middle East state allied with China and Russia, all the while dealing- with America’s relentlessly harsh government. How the lightning brain and Electra’s emergent personalities struggle to win is a page-turning plot, full of action and suspense to the very end!
My Thoughts
In ‘The Girl Who Commanded Lightning,’ I found myself immersed in a story of unexpected twists and emotional depth. This book took me on a journey of rediscovery that left a lasting impression.
The emotional tone of this book is palpable. From the moment Electra became Alisha due to her amnesia, I felt a deep sense of empathy for her. Her struggle to piece together her identity and the support of her friends in this trying time create a heartfelt narrative that’s impossible not to appreciate.
What I liked most about this book was its exploration of the fragility of memory. It made me reflect on the value of our memories and how they shape our sense of self. Alisha’s journey to regain her past while dealing with the threat of the T-plague is both captivating and thought-provoking.
Accolades
The author’s ability to convey complex emotions in a relatable way is truly commendable. As Alisha navigates her new reality, her inner turmoil and determination are beautifully portrayed, drawing readers into her world and making her journey feel incredibly personal.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this is a touching and emotionally resonant read. It’s a story of self-discovery, friendship, and the enduring power of the human spirit. If you’re looking for a book that will leave you with a sense of hope and appreciation for the resilience of the human mind, this book is a must-read.”
