I can’t wait for the next one!!!!!!

Everything I need in a good teen fantasy. A stunning world and culture as well as amazing characters and just a hint of romance created by this amazing author. On top of this beautiful world and characters that I so easily fell in love with Cora Carmack amazed me with the way she gave storms human-like properties. I don’t want to give too much away but this is one of my favourite books and I recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy (teen or adult)
I can’t wait for the next book.

Great Story/Narration; Too Much Romance

This book had all the makings of an epic fantasy series just waiting to be unleashed.
A world ravaged by different types of storms that only a select few born with a specific affinity can control? Sounds great to me! And to be fair, those parts WERE great; as were the elements of underground magic, political intrigue, family legacy, wealth vs poverty, betrayal & corruption, unlikely friendships, etc that were present throughout the tale.
Unfortunately, those elements were touched on only briefly in favor of a predictable & formulaic love story getting far too much air time. To be clear, the romance in this book is not without purpose. Had it played more of a background role, I would have been far more invested in it. However, instead of a fantasy novel with a romantic element, this read more like a romance novel in a sci-fi/fantasy world.
If excessive romantic tension doesn't bother you, then the world building, enormous array of characters & captivating sub-plot all make this a book worth reading/listening to. (The narration was FANTASTIC). If you prefer your fantasy reads without the long, wistful gazes, deep passionate kisses & detailed descriptions of hands gliding over feminine curves, you'll probably want to give this one a pass.
3/5

So freaking good

I had no expectations when I started listening to this book I didn’t read what it was about until 60% into the story, but even still I was pleasantly surprised. although the main character is unsure of herself she still strong and competent she makes decisions for herself changing what I thought would be the plot of the story and surprising me along the way.
near the end of the book I was even crying her pain became my pain she felt very real and you get a couple POV which had me conflicted about love interests. If this was an adult book I would be disappointed there was not more spice but seeing that it is a young adult novel it’s exactly as it should be, luckily I have a very good imagination and I can put down the book and imagine whatever I want. I cannot wait to read/listen to the next book in the series I’m also surprised I have not heard more about this book on booktock it is that good. This book is definitely a fantasy romance and romance is definitely a large part of the book it is not the entire part there is definitely a plot intrigue danger and adventure everything I was looking for I could not put this down I stayed up late and I’m already thinking about book two.

The Perfect Upper YA Romance

I loved everything about this book. It had complex characters, a unique world and magic system, and a well-paced romance. I’m invested in the story and cannot wait to read book 2. I would recommend this for upper YA as some of the romantic scenes are descriptive.

great listen!

I have listened to a lot of crappy audiobooks and it is always such a joy to come across of a little gem of a series like this one. Especially great if you are a taller female and want a protagonist you can identify with instead of wee helpless females. It has a good story and I'm very much looking forward to the third book.

Fantastic World Building Concept

Honestly, I don't think I've read a book with this concept and I loved it! The world building really sucks you in. Highly recommend.
