“And that was when Talasyn realized it wasn’t their fear of the Lightweave that held these soldiers back. It was their fear of her. Because Talasyn was She Who Would Come After.”
THIS SHATTERED TEMPEST put my heart through the wringer, but man, what a beautiful conclusion to this trilogy.
talasyn and alaric’s relationship is front and center, with plenty of angst to go around as they struggle to reconcile their feelings for each other with their political duties and with their secrets, while having to weigh the purpose that was laid out for them by their elders against the true desires of their hearts.
but there is no shortage of action in this volume; there is, after all, a war going on, and there’s court intrigue, family drama, and intense combat with this world’s elemental magic system. whole chapters lean into the mystical and the mythical, weaving the ancient lore of lír with matters of the human heart, and did i mention how many dragons are in this? SO MANY DRAGONS.
this story has always been special to me for many reasons, one of those being that it’s only a fictional world inspired by my homeland but i truly cherished the echoes of my culture, and there’s a particular reference in this one that knocked the wind out of me in its simplicity and its impact. i’d really miss this world, and i’ve grown more attached to the characters than i had thought (special shoutout to sevraim)
i’m not ashamed to say i cried through the last 50 pages of this book. so many moments of me screaming at our protagonists, begging them to just understand each other, but the payoff of the emotional journey and character development they both go through is absolutely worth it. beautiful final line, it’ll stay with me for a long time.
