Review Detail

What I Liked:
Political intrigue, additional layers to the world, and dragons Set up the sequel in the Shatter the Sky series with much anticipation. Dragons are what make this duology worth reading. The first book sets us up with the groundwork of Maren's heartmate being stolen from her and her half-brained plan to rescue her. Now Maren knows she possesses the ability to free the dragons from the talon control and to take back her home from the Emperor. In book two, the romance gets murky as Maren is torn between two loves, one she had forever and one she just developed. The development that the romance goes through feels very realistic and on par with a character who grows and comes into her own as Maren did. The story is told in dual perspective; switching between Maren and Sev makes the story move along at a fast clip.
Final Verdict:
Storm the Earth closes the chapter on this duology by following a reluctant hero who ends up leading a rebellion. A word with many layers to be explored, dragon lore truth to be discovered, and political upheaval, this is a fantasy story worth the read.
