Summary from GoodReads
Princess or adventurer.
Duty or freedom.
Her Kingdom or the Stormhunter she loves.
If Aurora knows anything, it's that choices have consequences. To set things right, she joins a growing revolution on the streets of Pavan.
In disguise as the rebel Roar, she puts her knowledge of the palace to use to aid the rebellion. But the Rage season is at its peak and not a day passes without the skies raining down destruction. Yet these storms are different—they churn with darkness, and attack with a will that’s desperate and violent.
This feels like more than rage.
It feels like war.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
This sweet book was one of my most anticipated. And while I didn't re-read the first book I didn't feel lost. I remembered quite a lot and additionally, Cora took pains in reminding me how all the characters came to be. Add in a mysterious extra third POV and you'll find out how the main villain of the book came to be. Aurora had some growth as a character but I really enjoyed reading Kiran and I still have some fears and conflict regarding Cassius. New characters are also introduced along with old ones and the comedy relief in some parts of the story was refreshing.
The ending was also a cliffhanger and I don't know if there'll be anything left of Pavan after the third book is published!
Don't miss the first book of the series!

Summary from GoodReads
One kingdom. One crown. One family.
“Maybe it’s time the great House of Rey came to an end. After all, what are we now? Just a house of rage and sorrow.”
Esmae once wanted nothing more than to help her golden brother win the crown of Kali but that dream died with her best friend. Alexi broke her heart, and she vowed to destroy him for it. And with her sentient warship Titania beside her, how can she possibly fail?
As gods, beasts, and kingdoms choose sides, Alexi seeks out a weapon more devastating than even Titania. Past lives threaten the present. Old enemies claim their due. And Esmae cannot outrun the ghosts and the questions that haunt her. What really happened to her father? What was the third boon her mother asked of Amba? For in the shadows, lurking in wait, are secrets that will swallow her whole.
The House of Rey is at war. And the entire galaxy will bleed before the end.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
The epic saga of Esmae's adventure continues in this thrilling sequel! Inspired by the Indian stories and mythology, Esmae has to face trickster gods, new danger and also her conflict between her true and adoptive family.
I enjoyed thoroughly this book! It felt small in length as I read it but the action was fast-paced and the secrets, betrayals, and revelations kept coming the one after the other! I also read Titania's POV and I believe that this will play a critical role in the final book. I also loved the romance; Max and Esmae are amazing together and the final moments tore my heart. Amba, the goddess also kind of redeemed for the first book. I seriously her the Rey family both for their hatred and curses but also for their pride and inaction in many of these chapters.
I don't know who or what will survive in the final book. There are many open battles and that final scene was also a kind of a cliffhanger!
Don't miss the first book of the series!
