Seasons of the Storm

By: Elle Cosimano

Narrated by: Graham Halstead, Stacey Glemboski

For fans of Maggie Stiefvater and Laini Taylor, a perfect storm lies ahead in this riveting fantasy duology opener from award-winning author Elle Cosimano.

One cold, crisp night, Jack Sommers was faced with a choice—live forever according to the ancient, magical rules of Gaia, or die.

Jack chose to live, and in exchange, he became a Winter—an immortal physical embodiment of the season on Earth. Every year, he must hunt the Season who comes before him. Summer kills Spring. Autumn kills Summer. Winter kills Autumn. And Spring kills Winter.

Jack and Fleur, a Winter and a Spring, fall for each other against all odds. To be together, they’ll have to escape the cycle that’s been forcing them apart. But their creator won’t let them go without a fight.

Excellent story

This was a very different story about time and the seasons. It was very clever and the characters were well developed. There was a lot of action and young love interests. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Incredibly Entertaining

I truly enjoyed this book and I'm glad I got this on a whim. I was immediately hooked and couldn't wait to listen at night before bed. The love story is sweet and character development was well paced. While I was hoping for a slightly more passionate romance, (ex. court of thorns series), I still can't wait to start the next book.

Interesting take

This was an interesting take on the seasons as well as immortality.
The 2 narrators were great.

Clever premise and a quick read

I was really intrigued by the concept of seasons personified. The story started OK, fizzled a bit in the middle, and the ending was decent (albeit a bit cheesy). Top books? No. Interesting enough to keep my interest? I suppose - 7/10

Passage of Time is Weird

Slightly disappointed with the ending. But nothing I didn't expected. The pacing of this book is strange. More than once it skipped ahead several months. I suppose it isn't necessary to know what happens between those points, but it would seem that the characters are idle during those times and it makes no sense to the story. It's also very slow. Certain details are added unnecessarily, almost as if the author wanted to add time to a book that would have otherwise been better without it.
