Shattered Sky - Helene Young 3/5; 3 stars; BI liked this book. I liked the action and the suspense and particularly liked the setting. As I mentioned in my review of the first book, Wings of Fear, the author does a fantastic job of building the reader's awareness and understanding of the vast, wild, and dangerous nature of Northern Queensland. However, there was a downside. Leaving Callum's house in a fit of pique, putting herself in extreme danger, and persisting in behaving in a prideful and foolish way just made Lauren seen like much less of an admirable character. Hard to get behind. I came close to abandoning the book at that point left it for awhile then came back and finished it.I would have given the book 4 stars if Lauren hadn't become TSTL in the middle of the book. Maybe its a cultural difference, maybe its my own lack of backbone, but never in my wildest dreams would I think its smart, brave, or advisable to make the choices she did about chasing the bad guys. People who run drugs, illegal poaching and human trafficking operations are not the kind of people anyone with half a grain of sense should consider chasing on their own. Especially when they have limited resources and are a long way from help. The rest of the story, the escape and rescue were well done. I will definitely read the next book in the Border Watch series.
