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. theโeverything. 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 fatherโs 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 thatโa dream.
rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adonโs secrets, rogue infiltrates aurynaโs borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the generalโs 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, letโs talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had.

โyou are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.โ
itโs 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 faeโs magic. it justโAHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year!
also the way he calls her โlittle stormโ 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 youโre doing and read this book right now. you wonโt 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."
