Only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because there were some parts that frustrated the hell out of me and my system is that if it isn’t in my favourites favourites list it doesn’t end up with five stars. Would still definitely recommend as a read though.

I have mixed feelings about this book.
It maintained me entertained and I loved the concept of Seasons and the hunt, but I was hoping the author would explore more that concept instead of immediately jumping to the escape.
I did like the characters and the chemistry between them, and some scenes were really nice (such as the dancing) and the idea that they did became close friends. However, the pacing was kinda slow and the plot twist wasn't well build-up or could have been better.
I still liked the book and the whole adventure, I just would have changed so many things that could have made it better.
At the end, I gave it 3/5 stars even tho if I could make it more specific it would be 2 and half a star, I did like it to a certain extent

Have you ever added a book to your TBR with so much excitement? That was me for this book. I mean, how could you not be intrigued by a Jack Frost Retelling? If you aren't, then.. something is obviously wrong with you. Just saying.
Seasons of the Storm was a pretty good book. I definitely enjoyed the audiobook version but I will admit that I was super bored with some chapters. I mean the whole thing with each season killing the one before sounded pretty cool. Yet, the whole cycle did get repetitive and I was no longer interested in it.
The only thing that kept me going was Jack and Fleur's love. Well that and Julio and Amber. They are in control of their own seasons and they hunt one another every year in order to get their season to live. Even if it's just for a little bit. Other than that, all we know is that they go into a deep sleep after "dying" and then train when they wake up before they go hunting.
I wish we knew more about the whole cycle because I just think we didn't get enough information. Which probably sounds a bit weird.. but knowing more about them and this whole thing probably would've held my attention.
Back to Jack and Fleur. They kind of reminded me of Romeo and Juliet because their love was forbidden. They were completely different seasons - winter vs. spring. Yet, I loved and adored them. They just worked for me and that's why I was so invested in their love lives. Heck, even their lives were pretty interesting. Especially when Fleur would find him and get to fall a bit more in love with him before he died.
Oh, my heart guys.
In the end, I will admit that the ending is pretty darn cute. I'm very happy with how things ended and I might even dive into the next book.
