4.8 out of 5 stars 23 ratings
As their lives are torn apart by world war, the Russian Revolution, and church and family conflicts, Katarina Hildebrandt and Johann Sudermann strive to maintain their faith in the God they have come to know.

Meanwhile, Paul Gregorovich Tekanin’s hope for Utopia has become a way of darkness and death. Will he remember the warnings of his childhood friend, Johann, or will the violence of revolution destroy him?

History unfolds as these young people look desperately for a source of balance and safety within the eye of the storm and ask: where is God when life betrays?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book

    This is a well written book that hooks you on the first page and doesn't let go. This is not a light fluffy read, but a read that is full of history, drama, heartache and keeping faith in God in the hard times. The author brings the book to life with her words and you feel like you are there. I recommend you read book one, Calm Before the Storm, to fully enjoy this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Important Historical Event
    Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    It's rare to find a story about this horrific part of history. It's common knowledge that the Russian revolution was violent, but stories about actual events is hard to find. I sympathize with the authors struggle to propel the victims into the chaos in this fictional retelling. I found the Russian characters interesting, but the Mennonites lackluster. Extensive historical research is evident.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good story - not a happily ever after
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021
    Eye of the Storm is book two in Janice Dick’s The Storm series, following Calm Before the Storm. Janice Dick tells life like it was - hardships, death, and other harsh realities of a war torn country. Set in Mennonite communities in Russia during the time of the Bolshevik Revolution and the final days of World War I, life is uncertain for the characters. This is not a happily ever after book. Readers will fear for the lives of the characters as the Bolshevik Revolution plays out with its raiding, stealing, and killing. Readers will weep with the characters at the loss of dreams, the loss of homes, and the loss of life.
    I am one who looks for the present in historical fiction. Unfortunately I could see similarities between the Bolshevik Revolution and the political state of the United States in recent months. I pray that the modern day situation does not end in the same way the historical event did.
    We should learn from history so that we do not repeat it. I believe that readers can learn from the history Janice Dick presents in Eye of the Storm. While it was a difficult book to read - because life can be difficult - I do look forward to reading the conclusion of this trilogy, Out of the Storm (due out Summer 2021).
    Janice Dick closes the book with discussion questions, making this a good book for a book club. She also includes historical notes which help add to the authenticity of the history shared.
    I would not hesitate to add Eye of the Storm to a K-12 Christian school library. It is appropriate for high school and up.
    I received a complimentary copy of Eye of the Storm. This is my honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great book and series
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021
    Have you ever read a book that the cover drew you in and you were hooked from the first sentence? This is one of those books. If you've never had one before you're in for a treat now because this is going to blow you away.

    This is a historical fiction title. It's also a Christian Fiction title. If you don't enjoy either genre you should still give this book a try because it truly is amazing.

    Eye of the Storm is the second book in a series. Right now there are three books in the series and this fits right in the middle. I always recommend reading series of books in order because you just never know what you'll miss out on. And it's always a good idea to read all from good authors that you can. I read and enjoyed book one of this series before I read the second book.

    This series does follow the same people so if you don't read the entire series in order you will miss out on some things and feel a bit lost.

    The characters seem to leap off the page in this series. As you follow them from one book to the next they just get bigger and better.

    I have to admit this area of the world and this particular time for them in history is not something that I have read a lot about. Russia is just not on the top of my list for reading on. But this series of books has definitely ignited an interest in me and I have been reading up on the topics.

    I feel you can glean from this story and apply it to life today in how God is good through all situations and always waiting for us to turn to him.

    I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received through JustRead. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Historical Christian Fiction At Its Best!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2022
    Eye of the Storm is historical Christian fiction at its best! This second installment in The Storm series works well as a stand-alone; but for an easier, smoother read I recommend reading the initial book Calm Before the Storm first to gain background information and connections between the characters. With well-crafted, easy-to-follow multiple story-lines; unforgettable, captivating characters; sweet romance in the midst of tragedy; and a strong faith element that flows naturally throughout the narrative, this story will resonate with you long after the last turn of the page. Historical detail infused into the fictional story is amazing as well as informative showing evidence of extensive research. This favorite quote, a thought from Susannah, sums up the faith element amidst the atrocious acts of plundering and vandalism and is so applicable to us today: “God is good. We are not alone. Everything is under His control and nothing can touch us that does not first pass through Him.” I highly recommend this touching book as a must read especially for lovers of historical Christian romance. I look forward to reading the final book in the series Out of the Storm.
    I received a complimentary e-copy of this book but am under no obligation to post a positive review. All opinions are my own.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Captivating (and Educational) Read
    Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    The Eye of the Storm, Book Two in Janice L. Dick’s Storm Series, takes us through the tumultuous years of 1917 to 1919 in Russia and Crimea. The Czar’s rule is in shambles. All over the countryside poor Russian peasants are agitating for land. Mennonite settlements, like the villages in the Molotschna Colony, are frequent targets as Russian neighbours, emboldened to take over land they feel is really theirs, steal, kidnap, raid, and light fires. The troubles soon spill over to Crimea and reach the Succoth Estate—the home of Heinrich Hildebrandt, his family, and Johann Suderman, the tutor Heinrich has hired for his younger children.

    In the city, Paul Tekanin, the Russian friend of Johann in his youth, joins the Bolsheviks. Through him we experience the roller-coaster-ride of political developments in Russia at this time.

    The characters we met in Book One continue to throb with life as they feel the increasing pressure to defend themselves (in defiance of the pacifism which is a foundational tenet of their faith) against vandalism, looting, and threats to life. At the Succoth Estate Heinrich and his family do their best to placate the populace with generosity and service. However, the anarchy in the countryside only grows worse. As their lifestyle of peace and plenty is turned upside down and lives are lost, they face the dilemma of whether they can live by another teaching of Jesus and forgive their enemies.

    Dick keeps the action moving as she segues us from one scene to another through the viewpoints of various characters. These people are realistic and sympathetic. The setting is described with confidence and in vivid detail. Not only was this a captivating read, but educational as well. I am looking forward to the release of Book Three, the final segment in the series, this summer.
