#warstorm picks up right where the last book left off with no time gaps like the other books with the story being narrated in Multiple POVs.

#marebarrow and #calcalore priorities overpower their love for eachother in the start of the book and both are thrown into an unlikely circumstance because of those who surround them.

On the other side we see #iriscygnet who is narrating the side of #mavencalore and his plans at the start. She understands how calculated and cold Maven is. She fears him but she and her family has an underlying motive for allying themselves with him.

#evangaline - Mare's frenemy is now one of my favourite characters of the series. Even though she has a personal agenda in mind every time she does something, I was very thankful for the fact that she was still trying to set up Mare and Cal. @victoriaaveyard has perfectly developed her character to en-cooperate her emotions, her strong will and managed to make me fall in love with a character who I disliked at the start of the series.

Cal's & Maven's chapters were an added bonus (the perfect one) to cap off the final book in these series. It was so welcome and so refreshing but I have to say that I missed the importance of Cameron in this book.

Also, I respect the fact that @victoriaaveyard highlighted the fact of forgive but don't forget when it comes to the elder #samos sibling vs. Mare and #farley. And again, the bonde between siblings- even the Calore Brothers- are paid their due notice.

War Storm was basically everything I expected and I loved every second of it.

I highly recommend this series to everyone who love a good dystopian world.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/ 5 Stars

""I would not have liked to watch you die." The admission is small and matter-of-fact." 
― Victoria Aveyard, War Storm

I cried for so long, honestly. I just can't believe it's over. I mean sure, short stories as on the way, but UGHHHHHH. 

It's taking me a huge amount of control to stop myself from sobbing all over again. My emotions are clearly all over the place.

What do I do with my life now?
