Rising Like a Storm by Tanaz Bhathena

Hunted by the Sky is the first book in this duology, and I definitely recommend them both for some one looking to diversify their fantasy reads.

Overall the series was well done, pacing was pretty good and it kept my interest.

Rising like a storm, the second and final installment to the 'Wrath of Ambar' duology, as you might have guessed is just about perfect as the first book was if not more!

If Hunted by the Sky, made your desi hearts flutter with excitement, it's companion sequel leaves you craving for more

absolutely enthralling!!! don’t have enough south asian-based high fantasy novels and i loved the hindi and urdu words interspersed in the story and the details that really remind me of home <3 plus realistic emotions and a thrilling storyline!!!!

Superficial, felt hollow. Big events occur and yet, the way it’s written feels like nothing special is happening.

A shame because the idea is good, but the execution lacking depth.

So I originally unhauled the first book cuz I thought it was just okay and not my fave but then I got the duology set from a used bookstore to try to give it another shot but I dunno if it’s the audiobook narration which I’m also listening to or if it’s the writing itself but I’m just not into the story and kind of annoyed by the general vibe and cheesiness. Which is sad because there’s so much I want to love since the world is so cool but alas ☹️ I don’t have the energy to push through.

This just felt like such lazy writing, which is such a huge shame because I enjoyed the first one. A force to get through this one though sadly :(
