Phoenix Shifters what more can a girl want. theirs not many of them out there. Jen's Kingdom of Stones is just a wonderful tale to read the characters are very personable and make you want to be their friends. Another Plus is that this is an Academy book which I am hooked on at the moment. I love the divided kingdoms of Cinder and Fury and cant wait for more.

Kingdom of Storms by Jen L. Grey is the first book in her Stones of Amaria series. These stories are taking place in this author’s spin of the Stones of Amaria. In this cut we are introduced to phoenix shifters whose kingdom was split years ago behind a quest of greed and power. All Cinder’s parents have wanted for her is to find her mate and prepare to rule their kingdom. That’s far from what she wants, but what’s a girl to do when Fate determines that it’s time for her and her intended mate to cross paths? And that very mate to be from the kingdom that broke off behind the greed of one from the past? Change is coming and now they must take steps to set aside their differences and come together.
Kingdom of Storms tells the story of Cinder and Fury, two phoenixes from opposite sides of the kingdom. This story moves quickly and smoothly between the two characters. The author quickly points out the uniqueness of these two characters, and the similarities of their families. I couldn’t help being surprised at both the similarities and differences between these two characters families. Cinder was born with her powers, but Fury was essentially “forced” to develop his. An undertone of danger is quick to surface in the story. Now, while I’m not always a fan of “insta-love” I like that these characters do feel a strong pull toward each other that is hard to resist, but resist it to an extent one of them does do.
There isn’t much that I don’t like about this book. The author does a good job keeping me page-turning to learn what happens next with the characters. I have to say that I was more than happy when a certain character gets a major reality check concerning their mouth…it’s just too bad that the same can’t be said about the other who is a major pain in the butt. I’m hoping that they will be handled sooner than later.
I am rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The storyline is good, but it feels like something was missing. This storyline is still building so I’m hopeful that the next book will help to bring this story together better.
