Stormsong (The Kingston Cycle #2)
by C.L. Polk
Fantasy
345 pages
Published February 2020, by Tor.com
From Goodreads: After spinning an enthralling world in Witchmark, praised as a “can’t-miss debut” by Booklist, and as “thoroughly charming and deftly paced” by the New York Times, C. L. Polk continues the story in Stormsong. Magical cabals, otherworldly avengers, and impossible love affairs conspire to create a book that refuses to be put down.
Dame Grace Hensley helped her brother Miles undo the atrocity that stained her nation, but now she has to deal with the consequences. With the power out in the dead of winter and an uncontrollable sequence of winter storms on the horizon, Aeland faces disaster. Grace has the vision to guide her parents to safety, but a hostile queen and a ring of rogue mages stand in the way of her plans. There’s revolution in the air, and any spark could light the powder. What’s worse, upstart photojournalist Avia Jessup draws ever closer to secrets that could topple the nation, and closer to Grace’s heart.
Can Aeland be saved without bloodshed? Or will Kingston die in flames, and Grace along with it?
I read Witchmark at the beginning of the year and I loved it, so at some point, I need to pick this one up. Tor recently did a cover reveal for the final book in the Kingston trilogy, Soulstar, which will be out next January.
I hope you’ll read this soon, if only to share your opinion. I’ve heard very conflicting opinions about Stormsong as people loved Witchmark so much. I trust your opinion, so I am very curious how book 2 holds up.
Huh. I hadn’t seen anyone write anything about Stormsong. Or about Witchmark, either. I’ll have to get to Stormsong soon, then.
