IR VERDICT:
The first in a series promising adventure and romance in equally epic proportions, THEORIE OF THE STORM establishes a fantasy-political conflict between two races–the superheroic, magical Fae, and less-gifted humans. A trio of protagonists, each with unique magical abilities, fight mystical enemies (and their own inner demons), but together must confront a far greater threat: the eventual extinction of magic itself. THEORIE OF THE STORM weaves an engrossing story in a richly detailed world, but it’s the characters–snarky, sometimes flawed, always compelling–who shine brightest.
