Why read it?

1 author picked Struck as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

With one taking the role of the chosen one and the other being in a place to save her, this was an intense rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. Not to mention the worldbuilding, traveling through lightning, was a very unique idea that amped up the suspense. 

From Kayla's list on creative magical realms in fantasy.
