Ladies and gentlemen we have ourselves another fantastic fantasy/romantasy series. 

A long standing war between two nations sees Talasyn and Aleric as mortal enemies, but when a new (and much worse) threat becomes apparent they need to work together to survive. 

This was a brilliant first book for a series. We have two worlds at war, both sure they are in the right. Magical systems that are being squandered and others enhanced. Royalty and all that comes with it (treaty’s, allies and enemies).  Plus and a matriarchal society, powerful strong woman and warriors and you have The Hurricane Wars. 

I really enjoyed this book. It didn’t so much have twists and shock plot points but there was enough wonder to keep you going. Plus some slow burn tension and great banter. 

We also get multiple point of views between our to main characters throughout chapters which was a great way to know what’s really going on. 

The first third of the book was heavy going with intense world building (very much required) but once we got though that the story really took off and I was hooked. 

Looking forward to continuing the series (according to the authors website it will be a trilogy).
