Handsome and gifted, the second son of the King of Locke appears to be perfectly happy to marry into the Pavan royal family in order to make a name for himself. However, the kingdom is still going to need a protector from the devastating storms that plague Pavan each Rage season, and with Aurora powerless, the only solution left is for her to marry a Stormling prince with the magic to tame storms for them.Īnd at first, Prince Cassius seemed nice enough. The only problem is, Aurora has no magical power of her own, a fact that the queen has gone to great lengths to keep secret, keeping her daughter isolated and preventing her to grow close to anyone. Our protagonist Aurora is a scion of one of the oldest and most powerful royal Stormling families in the lands of Caelira, and following the accidental death of her older brother, she is poised to inherit the throne from her mother, the Queen of Pavan. The book sounded like it had a lot of potential.

After all, it’s not every day you come across a story about “living” storms and the intrepid storm-chasers who risk their lives to harvest their magic.

Piqued by that powerful image and by the book’s intriguing synopsis, I crossed my fingers and hoped the story within would be just as atmospheric and impactful. Roar was perhaps one of my most anticipated YA novels of the year, and I was also glad when it got a cover to match my excitement.

This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher.
