"Trust" by Tim Metty


The book I am currently reading is "Trust," by Tim Metty. It is the second book in his "Hero Chronicles" series.
The theme of this book is to protect what you care about, while trying to accomplish a great task. This is evident in the book, because the Main character, Nicholas Keller, who has recently learned that he is supposed to do whatever he can to stop the "Seekers," who are the enemies of his people, the "Thusians." He has been searching for the 4th Thusian needed to stop the Seeker's from killing more people, and has been found by two other Thisians, and they are determined to find the 4th needed to stop the Seekers, and Nicholas is tasked with finding the fourth, who he strongly suspects is his girlfriend, Ellie, but he thinks it could be multiple people from his school.
The complex characters in this book are Nicholas, Ellie, Nicholas's aunt, Cora, and Nicholas's next door neighbors, who are the Thusians who have been hunting Nicholas and the fourth Thusian down, so they can stop the Seekers. All of these characters a fully developed, with the exception of Cora, who was a main character in the first book, "Secrets."
The text structure is a structure based on the past book, and looks like the standard structure for a book. It has many elements of characterization, diction, and it is written mainly in first person.

I would recomend reading the first book to get more of a knowledge of the background of this book.
A link to the article about the first book in the series, and for more of a background of this book is http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Hero-Chronicles-Volume-ebook/dp/B009V7FU2G

This book makes text to text connections to books like I am number four, because it is about people coming together to stop a force that is trying to harm them and what they care about.
I think that the authors opinion of the theme would be to never give up on something you are trying to accomplish.

  1. An interesting book, seems like a play off "I am number four", but it could be totally different. I wonder why the seekers are trying to kill them?

    2. I think it is because they are trying to keep their balance of more evil over good. They are trying to kill him and his friends to keep the balance between them. Kind of violent, but hey! We don't know whats going on in their mind!
