A Monsoon Rising was one of my most anticipated reads for 2024. Unfortunately this suffered from book 2 syndrome.
For me this started off really slow. I'm not sure if this was due to the plot or if it was because I had forgotten the majority of what happened in The Hurricane Wars.
I did end up getting into he plot about halfway through but I just didn't feel as though I liked the characters as much as I did in the first book.
With the ending of A Monsoon Rising I'm not sure what the third and final book will really contain or what plot line it will follow. I will definitely pick it up though as I want to see this through to the end.
