War of Storms by Erica Cameron is book three of the Ryogan Chronicles, and sees an end to the war with Varan and his fellow bobasu. Khya, still growing in strength from the susuji, is determined to draw Varan and the former Mireseh out, that they might pay justice for the lies they have told, and the war they have decided to wage. From Ryogo’s capital, to Kaisuama, to Shiara, Khya and her squad push their limits to the farthest in a bid to free Yorri and the other andofume, and end the bobasu once and for all.
This book doesn’t feel like the end of the story for Khya and co, but it is the end of the bobasu. After suffering a crushing defeat and retreat at the Ryogan capital, Khya decides to lure Varan and the others out by going after their greatest secret. With help from Gentoni, the Ryogan ruler, the group sails back to Shiara to free Yorri and the others. But not before making what I felt was a very careless mistake. Khya might’ve had the right reasons, but she, like Varan, decided to play god and I’m sure there will be long-lasting repercussions. I really wanted to smack all of them, Khya for suggesting and the rest for agreeing. I’m still not a fan of Khya, but the rest of the cast make up for it. Especially Tessen! He’s too adorable, and as I’ve mentioned in other series reviews, I grok his hypersensitivity. Anyhoo, this was a pretty awesome continuation of their story. I’m hoping it’s not the last! There are still so many questions to answer! I’d love a story from the POV of others too. Tessen, Yorri, Sanii, Lo’a. So many choices!

Great review Aislynn! This series is fill with such diversity. It’s worth reading just for that sake. I hope the feeling of it not being over for Kaya & co is a good sign, another series maybe?! Thanks and Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
It really does work for diversity. I do hope there’s another series!
