Wowwwiieeeeee what a book! I was so onboard with everything Leah thought and was doing, I was as easily manipulated as she was. The twists and turns of this book had me on edge. I felt like I was Leah at points. I even kept looking at my window, expecting to see something macabre. I only usually read gothic or fantasy horrors and my god is it so much worse with humans. This will stick with me for a while and not in the good way! I'm scared!!

A really smart, refreshing and unique story! I have never read a book like it before. It's so nice to have high quality new ideas!

I could not put this book down. From start to finish, I was completely hooked. I really wasn't expecting to like this book so much. 

The connection Ciccarelli creates between the reader and the characters feels as deep as a soul bond. Every emotion they felt, I felt. The guilt, the heartbreak, the betrayals. Rune will be in my head for a long time coming, and it will be hard to forget her. This story is THE enemies to lovers and then lovers to enemies again 😭 I also didn't see the twist within the twist coming, I knew that girl was acting strange, but I wasn't expecting that reveal! 

The relationship between the FMC and her love interest is really well written, although targeted as a YA, I had to keep reminding myself these aren't adults I'm reading about. Lewis gives her characters proper emotional intelligence.

Side characters are strong from start to end, every character has their place. They add to the depth of the story rather than just being there for the sake of continuing the plot.

a nice enjoyable quick read, it'll leave you on the edge of your seat and wanting more from the author

This is a really love story. The moment Gust was introduced, I knew this book would have my heart. The characters are formidable, and we see a lot of growth from the main crew. 

I really enjoyed Storms relationship with her uncle, and I love how she and Jodea worked with him to make him see his self-worth.

Lykkebo always manages to add lessons into her writing, and she has done it again with Winds of Destruction. 

The only reason it's 3 stars instead of 4 is because there are a lot of issues with grammar and sentences. There are some sentences that make no sense. I know Lykkebo is Danish, so I'm putting it to the language barrier and writing in English when it's not your native language. But I think if this book got a really solid edit, it would be a 4, maybe even 5 star book.
