Book Review for Tides of Fortune by Lauryn Hamilton Murray

 

Storm Weaver #2

Tides of Fortune by Lauryn Hamilton Murray

Published:  July 21, 2026 by Roaring Brook Press

Genre:  Romantasy, Young Adult Fantasy


Taken from Goodreads:  Return to the spellbinding world of Heir of Storms in the explosive second installment to the Storm Weaver trilogy, perfect for fans of Red Queen, Throne of Glass, and The Rose Bargain.

Having survived three treacherous trials to win her crown, Blaze is now Queen of the Aquatori. But before she can take the throne, she must set out to find the Eye of the Soul, one of the realm’s most powerful weapons, before another claims its power for themself.

Her journey will take her deep into the forests of Ostacre and into a temporary alliance with the infuriating but undeniably compelling Fox. She can’t help but feel drawn to him. . . but can she trust him? Fortune favors the brave, but will it protect the Storm Weaver on her most dangerous mission yet?

Narrated by not just Blaze, but her brother, Flint, and the newly-discovered Shadow Magi, Elva, the epic journey that began in Heir of Storms continues in the sweeping adventure of Tides of Fortune.

 

My Thoughts:  Tides of Fortune is book two in the Storm Weaver series.  After finishing book one, I knew that I had to read book two as soon as it came out.   This book picks up right where book one ended.  

Flint and Blaze are on the search for the Eye and experience so many trials.   They meet many interesting and intriguing characters as they travel.  I am intrigued to see where these relationships lead and what will come next.    Fox has become a favorite character of mine and I know that he has more secrets to share. 

The Storm Weaver series is a wonderful, clean, young adult series.   I am so excited for more.
