Storm Rising is definitely a middle book of a trilogy. Not a whole lot actually happens, but there is a lot of character work and some figuring out of stuff. It was very middling.
Theory: Tremane is going to end up as the new Hardorian king. We get to know Tremane here. We see how he is with his men, how he is with command, and even how he is when confronted with a mistake. I definitely feel like he’s essentially going to be elected King, even if he doesn’t want to take the crown. Not sure how or even is The Empire is going to play into the next book, but yeah.
So much introspection in this book. Fleshing out Firesong, An’desha, and Karal more. I liked An’desha and Karal’s character development, but really, really could not even with Firesong. Every time he showed up, I found myself wanting to just skip over his parts. Ultimately, I’m not even sure it was worth it not to.
I don’t really have feelings about the rest of Storm Rising. Like I said, it was fairly middling and not really that exciting.
