My favorite part about The South Wind was how immersed I felt in the world. Every time I picked it up, I felt like I was IN the sand dunes in the desert of Amara. I live for the world building!
Our FMC Sarai was prickly and strong, as one must be with a secret Sleeping Beauty-like ticking clock over your head. Notus is everything you expect from a banished god: stoic, gentle but strong, and I loved waiting to see him cracked open by Sarai. I could have done without so many secrets and miscommunications between them, but where would there story be without?
A bit of political intrigue, beautiful writing style, a few plot holes I was willing to overlook, an ill-fated journey into the desert together, and an ending wrap up that i loved!
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC!
