So, The Hurricane Wars is yet another Reylo fanfiction. I have no problem with the FF part. Actually, I've read amazing FF in AO3. Sometimes even better than published books✨

But the thing is, it relies too much on the fact the you know the characters already 😔 There's barely any character development. And I'm a character driven reader 🫣

So, yeah, it's interesting, and has good pace, but the romance is kinda forced They go from the initial status quo to "I can't live without" in a way that gave me whiplash 🥴

Did I like it? No. But that's on me. I'm not a fan of the Reylo ship (though I'm a Star Wars gal). I don't care about the "he's so big and I'm so petite" trope. And I don't enjoy the colonizer/colonized dynamic. I didn't know it had those elements when I got the 📖 and that's totally my responsibility 😅

Do I recommend it? Yes, if you don't have issues with the tropes mentioned and you like romantasy, this is probably going to be a hit for you. I agree with the people on Goodreads saying that ACOTAR fans are going to love it.
