![]() ![]() In The Chaøs, tension is built through a number of things. In Numbers, Jem and Spider were on the run, and that really provided all the tension you'd need (not that that was all the tension their was, but it provided plenty). ![]() Rachel Ward upped the stakes in The Caøs in some really interesting ways. These two stories play off of each other and slowly weave together in a very skillful way. The date of her horrific vision? New Years Day, 2027. Sarah, who has led a much more cushiony life than Adam, has problems of her own to say the least - as well as an ability of her own: she has a vision of a horrific event - one in which Adam plays a part. A lot of these Numbers and death dates seem to revolve around 1 specific day: New Years day, 2027. He actually feels their death for a brief moment, experiences it along with them. ![]() Adam is similarly gifted as his mother was - he can see the Numbers, people's death dates - when he looks into their eyes. The Chaøs alternates POVs this time around, following Adam, Jem's son, and Sarah. Book 2, The Chaøs, continues in this same thread, but with a few twists. In my review of Rachel Ward's first book, Numbers, I talked about how impressed I was with the story that she had crafted, and the raw, unflinching feel of it. ![]()
