I received this ARC from HarperCollins UK and Thea Guanzon through NetGalley UK.
A MASTERPIECE! Truly set to be one of the biggest hits of this generation!
The detailed worldbuilding immerses you into the fantastical world of the Hurricane Wars and I spent the entire time getting lost in its forests, wandering its cities, and learning about the different cultures. There was also so much action, it was easy to get swept away and along for the ride!
The characters were well developed as the story went on, and the bickering and interactions between the enemies-to-rivals was perfect!! The push and pull of 'for political duty' versus 'for heartfelt belonging' was a ride of its own and I loved every minute of it! I also enjoyed the shifting povs within each chapter - it really made me feel all the angst and anger and awe between the characters.
I was captivated the entire time and didn't want the story to end! And the cliffhanger...
I am so excited to see what comes next for Talasyn and Alaric and so thrilled that Thea Guanzon's work is coming to life for everyone to love and appreciate!!
