1 New York Times bestselling author of the fantastical Dark Elements series comes a new novel set in a world of gargoyle protectors, rising demons and one girl with an explosive secret.Įighteen-year-old Trinity Marrow may be going blind, but she can see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. Storm and Fury ends with a hell of a cliffhanger, which leaves me anxious for book 2.From the No. I wasn’t sure about Zayne at first, he seemed like he might be a creep trying to be charming, but I warmed to him pretty quickly. Trinity is smart, sassy/snarky and a real badass. The build up is slow, but once the action begins, it really does move along quite quickly and I was truly caught up in the action. I found the opening of Storm and Fury to be a bit slow. After an attack, when a Warden is taken, Trinity joins Zayne when he returns to DC, where she actually meets demons, as well as witches, and develops a new, and surprising view of the world while trying to discover who-or what-is threatening the world. Trinity and Zayne have an immediate connection, as if pulled together by fate.
Something has been killing demons and Wardens.
Two Wardens arrive from the DC area, one of which is Zayne, and Trinity eavesdrops on a conversation they have with the lead Warden in Trinity’s community. Also, she’s a teenaged girl who dreams of leaving her protected life and experiencing the world. She is fierce and a true badass, but she is also slowly going blind. The storyline: Trinity is an eighteen-year old living in a protected West Virginia community in which very few people actually know why they’re protecting her-or what she really is. Zayne is a Warden from the DC area, who has arrived with news about an increasing danger to humans and Wardens. Peanut is a ghost that serves as a side-kick of sorts to Trinity (oh, yeah, she can see ghosts as well!). Misha is a Warden who is bonded to Trinity and serves as her protector. Though she’s slowly going blind, Trinity has the strength and fighting ability far beyond what most of the Wardens think her capable of-and that is part of Trinity’s secret. The characters: Trinity is half-human and half something-else who has grown up behind the protected walls of a Warden community. The shape-shifting gargoyles-called Wardens-live in protected communities.
The world: It’s like ours, but gargoyles (you know, the stone statues!) came off their ledges several years ago and are now protecting humanity from demons (oh, yeah, they also walk the earth).
As a disclaimer, I have not (yet!) read the Lux series, so my review is based entirely on this book. Storm and Fury is a spinoff of the Lux series ( Edited– this is a spinoff to Dark Elements).
