Storm To Spring by Atima Kim
5.0
*4.5 Star*
Yeena is weeks away from her debut as a matron. She hasn't claimed anybody as her consort yet and is visiting her friend Hiro who she thinks she may choose to be her consort. When somebody from the Andan area is found crossing borders into Nakoya and is being held prisoner, Yeena offers to translate for the Nakoyans and offers a solution that will change both the prisoner's life and Yeena's.
I really enjoyed Storm to Spring and the interactions Yeena has with everybody. She is a strong matron to be but has her flaws. I waited for the moments between Yeena and Yijeong so much and that's what made me finish the book. I love the sarcastic banter and slow-burn romance between the two. I also enjoyed learning about Miang, Andan, and Naoya lands' history. I love the elemental magic of each area and learning the abilities of all the characters in the story.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to people who love political intrigue, slow-burn romance, banter between love interests, lgbtq+ representation, & east and southeast asian influenced fantasy. The only complaint I have were super long chapters but I enjoyed the book otherwise <3
