Interestingly enough, I loved & still love this book a couple of months after I read it and am excited to see how the story ends in its sequel.
The Hurricane Wars does have excitement in it, a lot of tragic & wars & unanswered questions and magic is stirring, even though yet not fully revealed.
At the beginning we find ourselves in a war setting that then changes to the machinations of a highly evolved & politically divided court and in which the female main character has got to find her way as well as figuring out her feelings for this prince of the Night Empire whom she first met on the battle fields and now has to deal with in the political machinations of their nations fighting for prevalence and/or survival over each other.
The world is richly built, and specially, in the second part we start to see more parts of this world that is amazingly rich & diverse.
And now I cannot really wait until the second book is out, because I simply would like to know how it all ends and how this new threat that arose is being met, and, of course, will they or won't they & will there be a happy ever after?

It's not that the romance was bad, I did enjoy these two stupids pining for each other and I did appreciate that Talasyn never just ups and forgets the war that Alaric participated in in favor of said romance, but it started getting TOO back and forth. Same with the dual POV. It starts flipping back and forth per chapter then picks up and gets to a point where it flips back and forth within two or so pages which was jarring. At least I felt this was a TRUE enemies to lovers.
I hope the sequel brings more to the table for Talasyn, she got dealt a lot of shitting hands and was too quick to accept it. My girl needs to slap some people around. And I want more political intrigue! This world is primed for it.
I also can't speak to to Reylo-ness of it all. I know it started as a Reylo fic but I didn't pick up any of it but hey, I didn't watch SW 7-9 so I have no clue 🤷♀️ Maybe I got to enjoy it more because of that.
