War Storm by Victoria Aveyard

3.0

Book 1 was Court Politics 
Book 2 was Rebel Politics 
Book 3 was Prisoner Politics 
Book 4 was War politics

We finally made it to the end (if you don’t count the mish mash follow up of Broken Throne.. which I don’t - at least for now). 

This was the longest book by far, and the one that was the least interesting for me. Politics of three nations/groups all battling in secret and in the open, with personal stakes and grudges… it was quite dull. Outside of the scenes where people were actually using their abilities, I found myself feeling scenes drag on way too long, and things were quite convoluted. 

Real world politics does have run in a similar way from my understanding, but I think this kind of a story is not where my interest lies. Give me the action scenes with way less back and forth and I would have been happier. 

Having said that, I think it was a true to story and character ending. Drawn out, but oddly satisfying.
