The world building in Hurricane Wars had me absolutely hooked from the start. It is so rife with unique magic and a compelling land that I could not get enough of the history of.

An avid reader and runner. I like to spend my spare time with my dogs Reese and Orion.
Hakara and Rasha each had such distinctive stories I enjoyed both of them. Each time I would be reading one point of view, on reaching the end of the chapter I would be so immersed into the story that I would desperately want more of it and would be momentarily disappointed when the character for the next chapter would change, but then would be sucked into that story and the cycle would start all over again.
Once again David Wellington manages to create such a perfect air of horror that the entire read is wrought with tension and paranoia. At every moment the reader is left wondering when something horrifying will jump out at the characters and the concern this generates for their safety is intense as no one ever feels safe.
This book is the kind of fantasy that sucks me into the world created immediately. It is the stuff of high fantasy with unique world building, politics, and of course, dragons.
The atmosphere of this book is incredible. It combines the beauty of the setting with the uncertainty of the unknown and the sheer danger of the environment to create such unsettling vibes that match the story perfectly.
