30something_reads 's review for:
The North Wind
by Alexandria Warwick
adventurous
dark
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Was this groundbreaking? No. But it was more enjoyable than I anticipated.
If you don't squint too hard at the lore and world building, this is a nice Hades/Persephone inspired Romance with some elements of Beauty & the Beast as well. It was just a little bit dark and had a very satisfying slow burn romance. So if you're looking for a standalone Romantasy with all of those vibes, I'd definitely recommend.
The epilogue was super sweet and it's too bad we didn't get to hear more from the male narrator. (He was great. I'll probably look into some of his other works.)
I'm interested to see what the author does with the next book in this series The West Wind
TW: alcoholism, substance abuse and recovery
