Perfectly pitched for romantasy-loving teenagers and young adults, Lauryn Hamilton Murray’s Tides of Fortune , follow-up to Heir of Storms , see Blaze embark on a fresh, thrilling multi-pronged quest after surviving a trio of fiercely-fought trials.
Through an expansion and enrichment of the world, raised stakes, more complex characterisation, and a teasing layering of will-they-won’t-they? romantic prospects (hello, Fox!), this entertaining novel delivers everything the second book in a romantasy series should do, with its arresting opening scene presenting Blaze and her brother Flint sitting side by side on the blood-red morning of their aunt Yvainne’s funeral.
As in the series opener, the author immediately evokes her story world with depth, detail and hooky emotional resonance as Blaze, the (possibly...) soon-to-be-crowned Queen of the Aquatori feels “skittish” and in a tensely reflective state of mind ahead of having to find the Eye of the Soul before King Balen stakes his claim.
Meanwhile, Flint breaks the tension with his trademark humour: “Impressive turnout. I do hope there’s enough finger food”.
Told from different points of view, that of Blaze, Flint and Elva, Blaze’s serf, whose narrative thread has significant slow-burn depth and offers an entirely different perspective, Tides of Fortune takes readers on an exhilarating ride into the heart of the Wildlands. While courtly intrigue still ripples strong, with all its complex alliances, political strife, double-crossing, and distrust, Tides of Fortune also delivers waves of elemental atmosphere through writing that’s both lush and direct — a brew of punchy exchanges, internal musings, and action scenes that conjure a sense of place and emotion at one fell swoop.
Sure to satisfy fans of Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass , Stephanie Garber , and The Hunger Games , Tides of Fortune is an impactful storm of a sequel.
The stunning follow-up to Heir of Storms - an epic new YA romantasy series for fans of Twin Crowns, Stephanie Garber and The Hunger Games.
