The Storm Princess and the Raven King (Heirs of Magic #4)
byJeffe Kennedy
What is it about:
A Broken Heart
Princess Salena Nakoa KauPo thought she was over her broken heart. She’d put her first love and childhood sweetheart, Rhyian, firmly in the past where he belonged. His bitter betrayal of her was locked away deep inside, along with her foolishly innocent hopes and dreams. Now Lena has been thrust together with him, the prince of shadows, the one man she could never resist, on a mission to save the world from a terrible cataclysm. Worse, Rhyian refuses to believe her when she says there’s no hope for them.
An Irresistible Longing
Rhyian is rather accustomed to being a failure. Goddesses know, he’s not magical enough for his sorcerous mother and not alpha enough for his father, the King of Annfwn. It hasn’t helped that he’s spent the last seven years trying to drown his sorrows—and to forget the one woman he ever loved, whose heart he carelessly shattered in a moment of weakness. Rhy knows he has to change to win back Lena’s trust, but how?
A Love That Can’t Die
As Lena and Rhy struggle to overcome the wounds of the past, they and their friends approach the final confrontation with the strange intelligence intent on rending apart the very fabric of their world. And it looks like it will come down to the pair of them to strike the final blow.
But only if they can build a new trust on the bitter past.
What did I think of it:
Me and Voodoo Bride loved the other books in this series, and even though each book had a happy ending for each couple, the threat to the 13 Kingdoms is not gone yet. So you bet we were eager to dive into this book.
And this is an awesome read!
Rhy has been a bit of an ass throughout the series. Hung up on Lena and anything else he can feel hung up about, we were very curious how he would turn from ass to hero. I can tell you that it was very cool to see his transformation in this book. There had been small moments of clarity in the earlier books that showed he could learn and change, but it's here that things finally stick and he decides to stop moping and start taking responsibility. He turned from an ass into someone who might be worth being called Raven King.
Lena was awesome as well. She grows into her powers even more and when things get hairy she will have to make scary and difficult choices, including deciding if she can trust Rhy with her heart.
This being the concluding book, there's lots of action, fights, discoveries, and possible heartbreak. We were eager to see how the strange intelligence that's been causing the destruction and chaos that's threatening the 13 Kingdoms would be stopped. And the climax of this book and this series is epic!
And the epilogues! They are so good! Voodoo Bride immediately wanted to reread the entire series after finishing those.
All in all a wonderful read and an awesome conclusion to this series.
Why should you read it:
It's awesome Epic Fantasy Romance
