A steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, magic, and destiny are swept together in The Hurricane Wars, the spellbinding debut in a fantasy romance trilogy set in a Southeast Asia–inspired world

All Talasyn has ever known is the Hurricane Wars. Growing up an orphan in a nation under siege by the ruthless Night Emperor, she found her family among the soldiers who fight for freedom. But Talasyn is hiding a deadly secret: light magic runs through her veins, a blazing power that can cut through the Night Empire’s shadows, believed to have been wiped out years ago.

Prince Alaric is his father’s weapon, sworn to obliterate any threats to the Night Empire’s rule with his mighty shadow magic. He and Talasyn lock into a deadly dance that neither can seem to truly win, until, in a clash of light and dark, their powers merge to create a strange new force—and a dangerous, forbidden attraction reveals itself.

This war can only end with them. But an even greater danger is coming, and Talasyn and Alaric must decide... can they work together to save their world, or will they end up destroying each other?

It was fine

Everything was just okay imo. Sometimes the author would describe the setting in both peoples POV and it kinda felt repetitive. The story is relatively interesting but somewhat predictable, which isn’t too much of an issue. I’ll probably check out the next book when it comes out.

Loses momentum les than halfway through

I’m clearly not the target audience for this book—even though I thought I would be. But, this started its life as Reylo fanfic and I’m just not a huge fan of the dynamic. Stops being about the fantasy war and starts being just about interpersonal conflicts about 12 chapters in and I was expecting more external conflict. Not the worst book I’ve ever read, it’s not even actually bad. It’s just not for me.

so good

I already need to read the next one, I basically finished this in one go because I was so invested in the love story

this book is about to become my entire personality

I loved this book so much and the audiobook is very well done. The romance is everything I want in an enemies to lovers. the world building is so intricate without being too wordy. I cannot wait for the next book

Breathtakingly Magical

If you are a lover of fantasy, I highly recommend this book! The depth of the world and characters is remarkable. I adored this book to the very last word.
