(Both the Lakelands and Montfort seem like fascinating kingdoms.) The descriptions are beautifully written.
We get to know more characters and journey to new places. The story also has some fantastic elements.
There’s even hope for a future in which magically powered Silvers and normal Reds can live together in something like equality. We discover the fate of Mare and Cal’s romantic relationship. It wraps up most of the outstanding narrative items. However, as a story in and of itself – as well as the conclusion to a series – War Storm is basically just okay. There’s politics, romance, and the battle for the fate of a kingdom. (And implied within the larger series itself.) And the novel clocks in at 657 pages, so it’s not like it doesn’t make a valiant effort. War Storm, her final novel in the saga, does its best to address the many dangling plots left over from King’s Cage. It’s always difficult to wrap up a multi-book story, especially one as large and sprawling as Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen series. It’s hard to talk about the ending of a series without, well, talking about the ending.
Warning: This review has spoilers for the entirety of War Storm. Victoria Aveyard wraps up her Red Queen saga with War Storm, a final installment that ultimately gets more points for intention than execution.
