Thea Guanzon is a master of world building, dialogue, and the enemies to lovers romance. Though I read the original story that The Hurricane Wars was based on (LWABOC for those who are in the know), I was still struck by the beauty and intensity of the story of the start of Alaric and Talasyn's romance. I thought I would know every detail about where this story would go, but while many main plot points are the same from the original story, the details and moments between the characters made this an interesting and exciting read. The world that was created for this story is well thought out, glorious in its details and utterly stunning to the imagination. Knowing that there is more to come has this reader (and fellow rat) on the edge of her seat.

I can't wait for the next two books! I anxiously await seeing how these characters find their happily ever after.
