Orenda (The Latitude Series) by T.S. Simons – Review by Callie Luna

Orenda by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Orenda is the second book in The Latitude Series and a continuation of the Antipodes Series. Orenda continues the story of Caitlin and Giovanni. Caitlin is sent to fulfill her roll as ambassador to Canda while Sera goes to Japan with Matto. She must overcome the challenge of being in a new place and position while being young and still learning.

There is so much growth in this book, maybe even more than the first one. What makes T.S. Simons narration powerful is her characters going through unfortunate events and growing through the trauma. She writes each character as imperfectly perfect people. They are trying to live in societies that are self-sustaining but with new problems that they must solve and face to continue surviving. I love the message I get out of this series that time is too short, live in the moment, and live a sustainable lifestyle. I highly recommend reading Orenda and the entire Antipodes Series! I can’t wait for Bifrost, the next book in The Latitude Series!
