A review by elfbread
Storm and Fury by Jennifer L. Armentrout
2.0
First read from Jennifer Armentrout, even though I’ve been meaning to start From Blood and Ash for ages. I didn’t realize this was related to another series until I read the author’s note at the very end, and this does explain why I felt there was next to no world development here. So my bad on that one.
This book is in a really strange too immature, but still suggestive, place. At times I just thought it was way too young for me. Some of the word choices were just so juvenile that I honestly did roll my eyes (see “holy crapsicles”; “I felt about as tall as a banana, and I hated bananas”; and “I hit a DEFCON level of WTFery” as prime examples). It was just too much.
Trinity is an absolute Mary Sue in this book. So perfect, excellent swordsmanship skills, everyone instantly loved her. Her relationship with Zayne was so instalove. It seems that the author tried to compensate with super cringy flirting that just went on way too long.
All in all, wish I wouldn’t have started with this as my first book by this author. Sincerely hope From Blood and Ash is better.
1.5/5.0 stars for me.
