Swift the Storm, Fierce the Flame
by Meg Long
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Blurb
After a mission gone awry two years ago, Remy Castell has been desperately searching across worlds to find the friend she failed to save—the friend who changed her life by helping her overcome the brainwashing she was subjected to as a genetically engineered corporate agent.
Since then, she’s been chasing the only lead she has: fellow genopath Kiran Lore, the same secretive ex-squadmate who left her for dead when she compromised that mission. She nearly caught up to him on Tundar before joining the infamous sled race alongside outcast Sena and her wolf companion Iska. Now, all three of them have tracked Kiran back to Maraas, the jungle planet where Remy lost everything. But nothing on Maraas is how it was two years ago. Syndicates and scavvers alike are now trying to overthrow a megalomaniac corpo director, which Remy wants nothing to do with; fighting against corpos is as useless as trying to stay dry in the middle of the giant hellstorm that encircles the planet. But the storm—and the rebellion—are growing stronger by the minute.
When Remy finds Kiran, he doesn't run away like she expects. Instead, he offers her a deal: help with the revolution and he'll reunite her with her friend. But can she really trust the boy who betrayed her once before? With the entire planet on the edge of all-out war, Remy will have to decide just how far she's willing to go to save one girl before the impending storm drowns them all.
Review
To start, SWIFT THE STORM, FIERCE THE FLAME is Meg Long's second book. While the two books are related you don't need to read her first book, COLD THE NIGHT, FAST THE WOLVES, to understand what is going on in this one. I would, however, recommend reading it just because it's really good.
I love the chosen family aspect of the story. It's one of my favorite tropes in books and I think Meg Long did it so incredibly well. Another thing I enjoy is how Long is able to paint me a world I can easily picture and feel through her words without bogging down the story. I feel like it's such a delicate balance between enough detail and too much but this was great.
This was a really fun story packed with adventure and good times. In her goodreads bio it says Meg originally wanted to be a spy and I think that really comes through in this book in the best way. If you're ready for an adventure this book may be exactly what you need.
