Heir of Storms is a fast-paced and action-packed adventure. When Blaze was born, disaster struck her people. Years later, she is forced to compete in a competition to prove that she has her magic under control and that she is a contender for a crown. But keeping magic locked away and using it with intention are very different and Blaze must rely on a wide cast of characters to help her master her magic once and for all. 

I enjoyed Heir of Storms! There is good magical world-building and once that was established, the story flowed smoothly. I enjoyed the side characters and look forward to seeing how the romance plays out. Readers who seek magical competitions, elemental magic, and YA romantasy should check out Heir of Storms. I’m excited to see what happens next in the sequel!
