Why read it?

1 author picked We Unleash the Merciless Storm as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Carmen’s point of view in this novel is just as gripping as Dani’s in We Set the Dark on Fire, and her love for Dani is just as compelling. I’ll admit that it took me long enough to recover from Dani’s story that I didn’t immediately read this one when it was published, which was an error in judgment on my part. Because learning the flip side of a rebellion and a love story was even more satisfying than I thought it would be.

This was another can’t-put-down novel for me!

From Cynthia's list on YA told in multiple points of view.
