MY REVIEW OF Castle in a Red Storm

In this story, the planets are personified. Each planet has a place on the council, and their job is to uphold the original plan of the universe. Each planet’s moon has also been given a body, but they are in servitude to their respective planet. The council has been brought up on charges of giving a set of orders without assembly approval. A court is held and assembly votes to reconstruct the council, meaning relieve them of their duties and vote new members in their place. Jupiter had already been kicked out, making her a prime candidate. She isn’t interested, but being a key player, will she be allowed to bow out, or will they try to manipulate her for their own selfish reasons?

I like the idea of giving the planets and moons human-like bodies. It made for an interesting plot. Each one had a personality befitting their namesake. I thought that was clever. It’s been so long since I learned the names of each planet’s moons, that I had forgotten them. This refreshed my memory. The story was left up in the air, making me want to find out how it ends. I guess I’ll just have to read the next installment to find out.
