Reviews with content warning for War - War Storm

I’ve blazed through this series so far, and I’ve loved the inner monologue of several (what I would consider) main characters. It gives us as. Readers an opportunity to understand how the diverse group of people driving this story see the world around them. This also helps with world building. There’s also just enough of relatable emotions to keep a reader engaged in the psychology of their individual personalities. Truly, one of my favorite series so far.

Red Queen is ranked as one of my favorite series ever. So while I see some flaws with Victoria’s writing, I am obsessed with these characters and will let the flaws slide. While others have issues with Mare, I don’t. I love her determination and understand her struggles. I’ve been Team Cal since “Thief.” “Obviously.” so I love him and I’m so sad this ending is the one Mare deserved and not the one I wanted. But at least I have Broken Throne.

This book was probably my favorite in the series. I felt that the characters really came into themselves especially Cal and Evangeline. I was a bit disssapointed in Julian. He was so sketchy in this book and I felt that I couldn’t really trust him after he started hanging with Cals grandmother.

All the scheming done by the 4 legions/nations was very entertaining. I enjoyed how the war found its resolution and how John, Mare, and Cal played such pivotal roles in the disenstablishment of their monoarchy.

I feel that the series as a whole was a solid 3 stars. I was interged and entertained but I was never invested and engrossed with the novels. Part of the reason might be because I’m not as into dystopian fiction as I used to be. Sometimes it’s just too close to our current reality and my mental health is not here for it.
