She Who Rides the Storm by Caitlin Sangster
3.0
*this arc was sent to me by the publisher to give an honest review in return*
I enjoyed reading this book which is about four teens who all try to steal the same sword at the bottom of a tomb. First let me tell you that this book is a giant. I was a little nervous it was going to be very long and might be very slow which I was kind of right about. I didn't mind the book being very long but the book in the beginning was a little slow. It was a little hard to get into but once everything started I was more interested in it and didn't care about the length or anything like that. Even though the pacing was a little slow in the beginning, it did introduce you to the new world in a proper way where it familiarized you with the world. I enjoyed the author's writing for most parts including all of those great action scenes.
This book has four POVs. I have to say that it was very hard to figure out who was speaking because the pov would change in mid chapter and I would be so confused with what was going on. I didn't know if the final copy would have the character's name but it was very difficult to know if I was in the right character's mind. From what I could tell, the characters did have a good development in the book but I didn't feel really connected to them because of the confusion with POVS. There were also some great side characters in this book that I enjoyed so a plus to that. There is also romance in this book where 2 of them have a slow burn and the other have a fake relationship which is my favorite trope.
The ending was well done for this book and doesn't leave with a cliffhanger but I think this book is having a sequel. I only had some minor problems with this book like the characters and the pacing of the book but overall this was a great book. I will be reading the sequel if there is one but I might need to reread this book just to see if I comprehended everything perfectly. I still recommend reading this book which gave me vibes from There Will Come a Darkness and is similar to Six of Crows.
