One of Booklist's 101 Best Romance Novels of the Last 10 Years from an awe-inspiring, award-winning author

The perfect blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure, The Lady of the Storm is an adventurous romance. Readers of Karen Monin, Jennifer Armentrout, Kresley Cole, and Diane Duval will be excited to follow Cecily and Giles on their perilous journey and be fascinated as they uncover the deep, dark connection that binds one to the other.

Half-human daughter of the Elven lord of Sea and Sky, Cecily Sutton has been raised in hiding. But when an attack on her village leaves her mother dead and her adoptive father missing, Cecily must turn the village blacksmith to help find him.

Giles Beaumont is stuck in a role he never wanted. He longs for action and adventure, but settles for his role as a blacksmith in a provincial villageâ??all the while guarding Cecily from the shadows. Having sworn an oath to her stepfather to keep her safe, Giles has no other choice but to follow after Cecily as she sets out to find him.

But duty is quickly replaced with desire as the search for Cecily's stepfather leads to a magical destiny that could end the rule of the Elven Lords.

I just realized that this series is incredibly underrated in how it deals with colonialism in fantasy. Fantasy colonialism what ifs are always very tricky because they usually involve white people speculating about what if the sun never set in a different empire that wasn't Britain, and the people are usually coded as people of color. This is problematic on a number of levels because it just doesn't ring true with our reality, and also westerners don't really have a lot of familiarity with non-western philosophy, so the methods of imperialism are the same, but the people are just brown now, which also doesn't ring true. This series side steps this by having England, (and apparently only England Wales is exempt and I am assuming so is Scotland) be colonized by magical creatures who are pretty unambiguously coded European so of course the methodology is explained. They have a Rebellion like in Star Wars, they don't like colonialist rule, but the story acknowledges that stealing some powerful scepters isn't going to undo colonialism, nor is telling the colonizers to go back to where they came from, and also what do we do with miscegenated peoples. The book acknowledges that there is nuance to this issue, but it is not a question that needs to be dealt with in this particular story because it is a romance, it is not within its purview. ( )

The only reason why I'm reading this book was wanting to know what happen in Fireham and so that i could associate physical pain of wisdom tooth with this book. Review later. ( )
