War Storm by Victoria Aveyard

4.0

This was an enjoyable conclusion to the Red Queen series. I enjoyed the character development. I also found it refreshing to see characters in a YA novel putting their values and beliefs (or anything really) before their romantic relationships and hormonal urges. The variety of perspectives in this book (extending from the previous one) was a great way to see what was going on with different characters and places while avoiding annoying info dumps and exposition. The ending felt a bit abrupt, with a few secondary plot threads still loose. It wasn't all sunshine and roses but it wasn't totally angsty either. It felt fairly realistic, which was intellectually satisfying but emotionally disappointing. That said, I didn't find myself TOO upset with the ending, with the Broken Throne novellas still left.
