Tapestry of Worlds, Part Two: Running and Gunning by Hadley Thorne – Review by Danielle Thompson

Tapestry of Worlds, Part Two: Running and Gunning by Hadley Thorne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Author Hadley Thorne’s second installment in the Tapestry of Worlds series: Running and Gunning is a YA dystopian, sci-fi book with fantasy elements. The story from book one (The White Raven Awakens) continues the storyline with descriptive writing cheating vivid scenes and believable dialogue. The protagonist Jack (a.k.a. Ransom), his bestie Cash, his girlfriend Erika (a.k.a. The White Raven), and his team of militarized shifters facing off with an opponent out unleash hell on earth: The Black Queen.

While the story has a classic good-versus-evil theme the dynamic post-apocalyptic world with well-developed characters makes it a page-turner. The addition of Norse mythology ties in with the magic system of the world the characters are fighting to protect the remnants of the world. I do favor how the supporting characters make this dystopia feel alive. Another positive note is that the Prologue and Epilogue are both worth the read (don’t skip them!). The ending does have the feel of a cliffhanger and I definitely want to know what happens next!
