Type of read: Lunch/Weekend Read.

What made me pick it up: I have zero self-control and my friend finished 'Storm and Fury' and let me borrow their copy. I only had four other books going, so it seemed logical. 😆

Overall rating: I had no huge expectations going into 'Storm and Fury.' I had heard some about Armentrout through BookTok and how their books were a must-read for those who enjoy romantasy. Here's the thing, I think I kept comparing 'Storm and Fury' to The Revelation Series and how that series represented gargoyles/wardens. I also feel like Armentrout needed to take one thing out of the book. I don't know what it would be, but it's just a lot with wardens, angels, demons, spirits, ghosts, humans, clans, magic powers, shifting forms, FMC vision loss/character flaws, and all that. Some parts of 'Storm and Fury' come off as a cross between character development and author word vomit that needs a swift kick with a red pen. Am I mad I read it? No. Would I 100% recommend it? Also no. But if you're looking for a perfect lunch read with an overall alright story and simple but enjoyable characters, 'Storm and Fury' is a good option.

Reader's Note: There are mentions and brief experiences of sexual assault

(FMC kicks his ass afterward)

as well as bloody depictions of violence and aggression. I did have an extended reading time as I went on a weeklong trip and didn't want to travel internationally with one of my friend's books.
