The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon
4.0
I find myself a little reluctant to rate this one?
I found the first 30% really hard to read - but that’s because it was VERY heavy on the world building, and as someone who suffers with aphantasia I am unable to really connect with world building.
However once we got into the crux of the Talasyn x Alaric content I was thoroughly enjoying it. The angsty tension is right up my alley. However the miscommunication trope is RIFE through their “relationship” and by the end it was a little tiresome.
I saw people saying it was so OBVIOUSLY a Reylo Fanfic and to be honest I didn’t hate that about it - the obvious sustain they had for one another and yet total attraction, and then distain for feeling the attraction… it was built on beautifully.
I fully expect this series to just get better each book now that the players and the conflict are set up. The pacing was a little sporadic in this book but again I feel like it can only get better.
I’m rating 4 stars because I did really enjoy the characters! And I wonder if a lot of my confusion is down to my own issue rather than an author issue!
