Reviews of Flowing In The Wind, by D.B. Silvis.
Whilst I had read the book and the synopsis, I still find myself surprised by how much this book is honestly just about flowing through life and the story.
It was an interesting read about a character who feels like they have direction, aside from what other people tell them to do and be and feel.
I also enjoyed that it’s not portrayed with an overbearing negativity as most stories do when a character has no clear direction in life.
Instead this novel embraces that our character Rail is free flowing and perfectly content, even if others aren’t.
It’s a great story that encourages you, from my personal interpretation to just embrace what life throws at you and just revel in the here and now because it’ll be all over one day and you’ll have to look back at memories and be filled with regrets that you didn’t just enjoy it.
I found myself chuckling at the 1950s slang index given at the end of the book as there were times I had no idea what words meant and so to find that was really amusing to me.
This book is a very character driven book, so someone who enjoys a deep plot with action, twists and turns probably wouldn’t enjoy this, but someone who likes to be taken into the world of their character and go on a personal journey should definitely pick this book up and give it a read as Rail and all the other characters are a joy to get to know.
Overall, I had a really good time with this. It’s not my typical kind of read and took me a minute to adjust my expectations. As soon as I did I just sat back, enjoyed and found myself flowing in the wind!
Definitely pick it up!
