Heir of Storms by Lauryn Hamilton Murray
4.0

“Storm Weaver. That is what they call me. The girl who wove the storm that shook the world.”

Heir of Storms follows Blaze, the last Rain Singer, who on the day she was born unleashed a deadly storm that decimated her world. 17 years later, Blaze has been kept away from the world that hates her. That is until she is summoned to compete for the crown. What will happen when Blaze has to choose between using the powers she fears or losing it all? 

Heir of Storms feels like a classic YA fantasy featuring deadly trials, a heroine grappling with her powers, and a half-brother love triangle?! ***It’s YA - behave. 👀 

“And what does it mean when - the most dangerous boy in all the realm asphyxiates your adversary in front of the entire palace, and then gives you a kitten? If only there were a book about these sorts of things. Then perhaps I’d find some answers.” 

Ohhh I think we know the answer to this one.😉 

Pick up if you enjoy:
🌊 Elemental magic
👑 Deadly trials
🌧️ Themes of grief and loss
🐈‍⬛ Kittens?!? 

*There are a few more complicated and sensitive themes that I’d like to see explored more throughly in the rest of the series - which there is absolutely time for - and I’m curious to see where those plot points go. 

Thank you to Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group, Roaring Brook Press and NetGalley for an advanced electronic copy in exchange for an honest review. Heir of Storms comes out on June 3rd.
