The world Ms. Carmack has built is so different than anything I've read that it grabbed me and held on tight from beginning to end. It's unique and captivating. Add to that some adventure, romance, and an interesting cast of characters and you've got a wonderful beginning to what I know will be a great series. 
 Aurora (or Roar) is not your typical princess. In a world where storms threaten everyone's way of life, those with the power to tame them are revered. Roar, however, has no special powers and, because of this, her future has been decided for her. But she is stronger than anyone gives her credit for and sets out with with a group of storm chasers in an attempt to change her life. I loved how fierce she was, even when she was scared an unsure. She has all the makings of a true hero and I can't wait to see her develop further as the story continues. Of course, I loved Locke as well. He's been through a lot in his life and carries a lot of baggage. His initial unwillingness to give in to his feelings for Roar turned their instant feelings into a slower burning romance than I anticipated. I enjoyed their banter and their chemistry. However, I must mention that there is another guy, Cassius, who peeked my interest. Those of you who've read the Shatter Me books will understand what I mean when I compare him to Warner. I disliked Warner in the beginning and yet he intrigued me...he was my guilty pleasure in the middle of the series...and I absolutely loved him at the end. I get the same vibe from our friend Cassius and I can't wait to see if he captures my heart as the series progresses. 
 Ultimately, this was a really good read with great characters. There is a lot of world building so those of you who want to quickly jump into the action or romance will have to be patient. But, trust me, you'll get there soon enough...and then you'll be waiting with excitement, like I am, for the next installment!! Enjoy!!
