Clash of Storms by Bec McMaster

4.0

Bec McMaster is the only romance author I pre-order 🤣 I love all of her books so much!
Heroes are always angsty, romances are always lush and intimate, and the fantasy story is always adventurous! If you like Fated Mates trope, class differences, fantasy/dragons/magic, and redemption themes, then you’ll love this book!

The Goods
Yearning, Angst, Thwarted Desire - love love love it all.

I like the overall story here about betrayed kings, evil queens, banished princes, etc etc. it was the most most most evil villain, the kind where you cheer when they die and are vanquished.

Books!!! He gifts her books!! I could’ve swooned. Overall, the way he played, protected, and watched over her for the years that he knew her and wanted her was very sweet.

We finally get to know what happened to start this whole shift in power in the dreki court!

TORMUND!! I didn’t know until after reading this that he gets his own book!! I’m so excited!!

The Bads
No big complaints really; I like my romances steamy, so maybe this one was a little lighter on the romances than my preference.

The main part of this book overlaps in the timeline with the second book of the series. There was a bit of feeling like that was a retelling of the second book from a different perspective, so it felt a little slower in the beginning. When the third book caught up with the ending of the second book, then it felt like the adventure took off at warped speed from there.

The Uglies
No trigger warnings here
