 “Don’t let the world – don’t let anyone convince you that you’re not enough. Only you define your story. 
You and you alone. 
When they tell you what you’re not, when they tell you what you can’t do, 
Remember: you are the storm.”
 
A remarkable conclusion to this epic series!! 
There’s not one book from this series that disappoint me; it has been a great journey following Thea and her friends, families and unexpected allies to save the midrealms from the darkness. 
 
Shadow & Storms started right after the ending of book 3 - the first few chapters already looks promising cause the story jumped straight right in full of action with battles, epic show of power and terrifying monsters. 
The battle scenes felt intense and well written. It kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time, not knowing who'll survive and who didn't. 
 
One character that really stood out after Thea would be Wren, she seems quiet and all but she finally showed what she’s capable of in this story and she really surprised me! 
 
I feel satisfied with how this series ended, the prophecy we were given at the beginning was finally answered which comes as another surprise to me!! 
 
Overall, this is a series worth reading that comes with a couple twists and turns. 
Highly recommended this found family, funny, spicy and action-packed tale to any fantasy romance lovers! 
 
I can't wait to see what the author has in store next especially with that new prophecy looming.... folks things are far from over in Thezmarr! 
 
Thank you to Book of Matches Media and the author for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
