Elana has taken something that didn’t belong to her. Or at least she tried to, someone beat her to it. Whoever the thief is, it makes no difference to the Japanese storm god Susano-o and his eight headed snake monster, Yamata no Orochi. Susano-o has sent a mystical storm to flood Los Angeles until his property is returned or Elana is defeated, and for once in her life, no amount of luck is going to save Elana. If she can’t figure out how to best a god, everyone she knows is doomed.
How much of herself is Elana willing to sacrifice to save her city from drowning?
And if she changes, will her city even recognize her?
Its over! I can not tell you how sad I am right now. I have no more books in this series to read. This one was even better than the start of this series. Worlds we shall go into!! I love that were still hopping into different worlds and so wished I could do that. How far has Elena come from the first pages of book one and I was right along with her through it all. I loved every page of this one and I am sad that it is over. I hope the author comes back and does more set in this world.
This series keeps getting better and better. This is my favorite so far. It has all the usual: stepping into a fictionalized world, where the characters are quite real; adventures in the Knowing; and lots and lots of action in our own world. Trouble follows Elana wherever she goes. It doesn't help that she brings disasters on herself. Lots of soul-seeking and reflection in this story. What I enjoyed most was learning about the snakes from mythology in this episode of the story. There was also some lovely prose that I enjoyed reading and re-reading.
