A Review~ A Time to Rise~by Nadine Brandes

ABOUT A TIME TO RISE
What more can you sacrifice than your life?

Parvin Blackwater is dead.

At least that's what the Council and the world thinks. But her sacrifice tore down part of the Wall long enough to stir up hope and rebellion in the people. Now she will rise again. Strong, free, and fearless.

Parvin and Solomon must uncover the mysterious clues that Jude left behind in order to destroy the projected Wall once and for all. Meanwhile, the Council schemes to new levels of technology in its attempts to keep the people contained. Can a one-handed Radical and a scarred ex-Enforcer really bring shalom to the world?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nadine learned to write her alphabet with a fountain pen. In Kindergarten. Cool, huh? Maybe that’s what started her love for writing. She started journaling at age nine and thus began her habit of communicating via pen and paper more than spoken words. She never decided to become a writer. Her brain simply classified it as a necessity to life.

Nadine is a stay-at-home author and writes stories about authentic faith, bold living, and worlds soaked in imagination. She lives in Idaho with her husband and works as a freelance editor. When she's not writing, editing, or taste-testing a new chai, she is out pursuing adventures. A Time to Die is her first novel. Visit Nadine at www.nadinebrandes.com



MY REVIEW
    A Time to Rise by Nadine Brandes is such an incredible book. It is book three and the last in the Out of Time series. I wish this series would never end. I have enjoyed each and every one of these stories. I so looked forward to hearing what Parvin, her family and friends were up to.
  These books were not fluff and silly adventures that some books give you, but the Out of Time and this book A Time to Rise were amazingly mature and had hard issues to resolve.
  The characters are so very likable and the villains are so devious and horrible.
  In the last book Parvin died or so we thought. It was something when she came back and the things she had to go through to bring peace to the people.  That’s all she wants is for the people to have peace and for them to go where they want and not be shut out by the wall.
  In the end you will be astonished at who finally helps Parvin and Solomon. A Time to Rise is one exciting, suspenseful, intriguing book. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this series is and how beautifully the story ended. Magnificent isn’t a strong enough word for how much I love this book. Highly recommended.

A Time to Speak by Nadine Brandes A Review

A TIME TO SPEAK
What happens when you live longer than you wanted to?

Parvin Blackwater wanted to die, but now she’s being called to be a leader. The only problem is, no one wants to follow.

The Council uses Jude’s Clock-matching invention to force “new-and-improved” Clocks on the public. Those who can’t afford one are packed into boxcars like cattle and used for the Council’s purposes.

Parvin and Hawke find themselves on a cargo ship of Radicals headed out to sea. What will the Council do to them? And why are people suddenly dying before their Clocks have zeroed-out?

Book Two in the “Out of Time” series.

ABOUT NADINE BRANDES
Carol Award winner and Christy Award finalist, Nadine Brandes is an adventurer, fusing authentic faith with bold imagination. She never received her Hogwarts letter, but rest assured she's no Muggle (and would have been in Ravenclaw House, thank you very much.)

This Harry Potter super-nerd has been known to eat an entire package of Oreos (family size) by herself, and watches Fiddler on the Roof at least once a year. She writes about brave living, finding purpose, and other worlds soaked in imagination. Her dystopian trilogy (The Out of Time Series) challenged her to pursue shalom, which is now her favorite word (followed closely by bumbershoot.)

When Nadine's not taste-testing a new chai or editing fantasy novels, she and her knight-in-shining armor (nickname: "hubby") are out pursuing adventures.

MY REVIEW
  A Time to Speak by Nadine Brandes is such a wonderful, wonderful book. This is book two in the Out of Time series and I must say I can’t get enough of this amazing series. This is the second book Nadine has written and book one A Time to Die won the Carol Award and was a Christy Award finalist.
  You need to read book one before you read book two A Time to Speak, because if you don’t you will miss a lot of back story.
I couldn’t read this book fast enough, but didn’t want it to end.
  Parvin and Hawke are both sent back across the wall with a lot of boxcars full of her people for not having clocks, which all of the people had to have. Parvin was O.K. with this because she was thrown across the wall in book one, but now they have passed the place where she was before and taking them to a very, very cold place. How can they survive? How will they all come together and try to work things out.
 Marvelous book and one that will find a place on my book shelf. This series is a keeper. Highly recommended.

A Time to Die by Nadine Brandes*A Review*

ABOUT A TIME TO DIE
How would you live if you knew the day you'd die?

Parvin Blackwater believes she has wasted her life. At only seventeen, she has one year left according to the Clock by her bedside. In a last-ditch effort to make a difference, she tries to rescue Radicals from the government's crooked justice system.

But when the authorities find out about her illegal activity, they cast her through the Wall -- her people's death sentence. What she finds on the other side about the world, about eternity, and about herself changes Parvin forever and might just save her people. But her clock is running out.

  A Time to Die by Nadine Brandes is about the best book I have read this year. I just love, love, love it. So very glad this is a series and I very much look forward to reading the next one.
  A Time to Die is Nadine Brandes first book and it’s a winner.  I’m so very happy that I got a chance to read this book. Nadine Brandes will really make an impact on the writing and reading community. She is so talented.
 Parvin is a brave, smart and loving girl whom finds herself in all kinds of troubles and she draws closer to God each time.
  A Time to Die has a lots of ups and downs and really tears at your heart. The things Parvin has to go through and how she finds her purpose in life are just marvelous.  Parvin meets so many different people and cultures that each page is a new experience. She has a few people who help her and love her.
  I’m just so amazed at this author ideas and how she puts them into a story.  I highly recommend this book. If you don’t read any other book this year read A Time to Die. You will love it. I expect great things from this author. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars.
