A review by egbella
Seasons of the Storm by Elle Cosimano
4.0
I hadn't heard of this novel prior to reading it, so I didn't know what to expect. But what a pleasant surprise! The premise is super intriguing, and it reminded me of a fantasy/dystopian "Jack Frost" story. I liked all the different characters, although it took me some time to make sense of them all. There was plenty of action and intrigue and I had a hard time putting this down.
I was confused a number of times by all the many things going on, so needed to skim some sections to catch up, but overall, it was an engaging, unique, and intense story. And though I didn't realize it was the first of a duology (I don't have book 2 so kind of bummed, haha), it stands on its own pretty well, and wraps up without leaving many ends to tie up.
The romance seemed a bit too easy at times, but some of that actually ended up being intentional, which I appreciated. Mostly, it was sweet and I could honestly root for the characters to have happy endings.
Content warnings: several "fade to black" sexual scenes (nothing explicit, just implied), violence, mild descriptions of gore and injuries, occasional swearing
