It was everything I wanted but not enough! Dying to get to the third book to find out what happens next!
Wow, just wow! I honestly couldn’t put this book down. From start to finish, A Monsoon Rising had me on the edge of my seat. The tension between Alaric and Talasyn is dialed up to a whole new level in this installment—Thea really knows how to build that slow burn and chemistry between them! It’s impossible not to be totally invested in their dynamic.
And let’s talk about the side characters for a moment—Severin was such a fun addition! He brought a lot of energy to the story and I loved how he added some extra humor to the world. Honestly, the character development across the board was stellar, but the real showstopper? The spice. *fans self* The romance in this book is next-level, and it’s not just about the tension but the way everything unfolds in such a satisfying way.
The worldbuilding that Thea set up in book one only gets richer and more complex here. I was so drawn into the setting, the politics, the magic—everything. The stakes feel higher, and the depth of the world just pulls you deeper in. And that cliffhanger?! Oh my goodness, I’m dying to see how it all wraps up.
I’m already counting down the days for the final book in this trilogy. If you haven’t started this series yet, get on it now—you won’t regret it!
Good grief, this novel was absolutely outstanding! As much as I loved The Hurricane Wars — which I truly, deeply did — A Monsoon Rising has surpassed it in every way.
The world-building, character development, and intricate lore drew me in completely. The journey this story took me on was nothing short of captivating, and I’m on the edge of my seat, dying to know what comes next.
I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend this series to anyone who loves immersive and compelling fantasy fiction.
