A lot of people compare this series to a young-adult Game of Thrones, and I think that description is pretty accurate. We also have some side characters along for the ride. This series follows four young adults and their different inner struggles for power, vengeance, and love. How can anything with a picture of Magnus Damora be less than perfection? I mean, I know 2016 was a bad year for most of us, but this… this I never saw coming.Īnyways, this is the fifth book in the Falling Kingdoms series that, until this point, have only gotten better and better. I’m so let down that I’m actually at a loss for words.Īnd what makes it worse is that this book has Magnus on the cover. Instead of perfection, we got plot holes, unnecessary angst between Cleo and Magnus, a cliffhanger ending that felt like Empire of Storms part two, and twists that I feel bad even calling twists because they came out of nowhere and were so unexpectedly bad. It was even on my rough draft list of “best books published in 2016” because I was so confident it would be perfection incarnate. Crystal Storm was, hands down, no question, my most anticipated book of 2016. Out of all the feelings I expected to have while reading Crystal Storm I never thought disappointment would be one of them, or the most prominent.
