this book set my soul ablaze! <3
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
"i had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and i was grateful to see another calm morning."
this book. this book!
i loved the last storm so much. the writing style. the descriptions. the world-building. the characters. the plot twists. the tropes. the sexual tension. theāeverything. everything was magic.
the last storm follows our two main characters, ara and rogue, giving us dual POV from both characters (which i loved, btw). ara, a human girl who has been locked away in her fatherās estate most of her life, just wants to see the world. all she dreams of is seeing what else is out there. but when her father announces her engagement, she knows that dream will become nothing more than just thatāa dream.
rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adonās secrets, rogue infiltrates aurynaās borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the generalās precious only child is sitting at the bar, drink round after round of mead. now he just needs to figure out how to take her without anyone noticing.
first and foremost, letās talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had.

āŗāŗ fated mates
āŗāŗ one bed

āŗāŗ badass female lead
āŗāŗ morally-grey love interest
āŗāŗ fae/human war
āŗāŗ force proximity
āŗāŗ touch her and die
āŗāŗ who did this to you?
āŗāŗ captor/captive
āŗāŗ praise k!nk (panting profusely)
āyou are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.ā
itās been a long while since i read a book i liked this much. but i just loved this book. it set my soul ablaze. thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story and for blessing me with an eARC! i loved it so much that i immediately bought the paperback upon release!
every aspect of this book was just beautiful. i was blown away by the way the world was described, the way feelings were portrayed, the way the elements were used in the faeās magic. it justāAHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year!
also the way he calls her ālittle stormā sets my heart on fire.
this was a fast-paced read and if you are a lover of acotar, fbaa, deal with the elf king, or any other similar books, then please stop everything youāre doing and read this book right now. you wonāt regret it.
thank you again, jd linton, for giving me the privilege of reading your arc and for blessing this world with the world you created. <3
"something about him pulled me in, like a moth to a flame, and it felt as if i was just waiting for the inevitable burn that came with flying too close to the fire."
