Worlds Collide had some pretty big shoes to fill as the follow up to Sunset Rising. You will NOT be disappointed. Worlds Collide not only met expectation but may have surpassed. The story of Sunny and Jack continues as they fight to free the pit, and finds them outside the Dome and discovering that they're not alone. They come to find out that Holt has not only been lying to those in the Pit but his own people as well. The gradual build of the story and the imagery that is created with the incredible writing style of Susan McEachern is a gift that few writers seem capable of.With visuals like "the ghostly outlines of bygone furniture hinted that the hotel was once quite grand, but now crumbling tiles and dark stains ground into stone had robbed it of it's beauty" and "Human misery is a stubborn stain.......skeletons were found here, the floor darkened by their decay" , how can someone NOT be totally sucked INTO the story? Rarely do I remember or take note of passages in a book, but the ease and beauty of how this story progresses made such an impression on me. So many "AHA" moments and "uh oh" moments and fist pumping "yeah!" moments as resolution and freedom become more and more attainable left me so conflicted because I was eager to see what happened next but knew that meant I was one page closer to the end of the book. And now I'm done, hanging off a cliff and waiting for news on a release date for #3
