While this protectiveness does not keep him from controlling Aurora or letting her be her own person, I found he tended to say one thing while his actions at times showed something different. While not appearing to feature a love triangle, the opportunity is there, showing one male character with strong possessiveness over Aurora as if she were something to conquer, while the other character shows a strong protectiveness. I’ve seen a lot of arguments in reviews for this book over whether the romance was harmful or well done.
She’s described as perfect and beautiful otherwise - at least by the two guys who want her.
Roar is a girl insecure about her place in her world, and this lends a certain realism to the story, but this appears to be her only flaw. Roar is a romance-heavy fantasy that is equal parts cliche and surprising. If Aurora can be brave and strong enough to face a storm, she might be able to steal magic. Legend says her ancestors first gained their magic by facing a storm and stealing its heart. When she discovers a storm hunter who says he wasn’t born with magic, Aurora realizes there may be another option for saving her kingdom and herself. Stranger still, the people selling magic are not Stormlings. When Aurora disguises herself and sneaks out of the palace to follow the prince one night, she stumbles across a black market dealing in storm magic. But when dark secrets about the prince and his family surface, Aurora realizes marrying him isn’t the perfect solution her mother seems to think it is.
There’s just one problem: She shows no trace of the magic she’ll need to protect her people and fight the storms.Īn arranged marriage to a Stormling prince from another kingdom might be the only way for Aurora to keep her secret and her crown. As the sole surviving heir of the kingdom of Pavan, Aurora has been groomed to be the perfect queen. In a world where magical storms are rampant, it’s up to the Stormling royalty to protect their kingdoms and their ungifted subjects from the danger of the wildlands and the deadly storms. IN SHORT: This young adult fantasy book features a unique world with fascinating magic and evocative writing.
