Storm of Bells by Robert Thier

anniekennedy_reads's review against another edition

2.0

The last of the core series (there are 4? Spin-offs) and honestly this one was the hardest to get through. I love the series and do like this book but this one I felt really dragged, a whole book for something that could have been done in a couple of chapters or so.
I like the core story is wrapped up and happy endings but why did it take a damn book to do.
You go through everything for preparations, like…
every.
damn.
thing…
and honestly it’s a bit tedious.
As a wise man once said…
Knowledge is Power is Time is Money.

The book nothing really happens, characters don’t really develop any further (there is a little bit but nothing massive) threats that pop up disappear within a chapter or two. And the side stories are just boring. This book just feels like one big epilogue, and my god those things annoy me.
I still love the series and I think I always will I just think the last couple of books were just filler..
If you are on the fence about reading the series I would say definitely to the first 3 maybe even the fourth and fifth (just) but this last one… unless you want closure I wouldn’t bother. It pains me to say it cause I really do love this series and it will always hold a special place for me but this book… it’s testing that love.

As always, in this novel like in the previous installments of the Storm and Silence saga, this novel combines wit with romance and familial/work relationships, all held together by a complex heroine trying to find independence in a patriarchal, Victorian world. Although this final novel in the saga is yet to be completed, I highly recommend it, along with the rest of the series, to anyone who enjoys historical romance, strong female characters (who have bigger concerns than their marriage prospects), and bitting humour. This series is perfect for anyone who loves female characters who don't take no for an answer and stand up for what they believe in despite the barriers in their path.
