★★★★★

I usually like to read late at night, but this story was too intense and it kept me up at night. I'm not complaining at all because Son of the Storm was intense and creative and FRESH.

While it evoked comfortable and familiar themes from epic fantasy - outcasts trying to find their way home while pursued by a dark and power-hungry villain -- it still gave me the excitement of a whole new literary experience, of being initiated into a new fantasy world full of adventure of magic, and I am totally here for it.

Highly recommended for fantasy nerds and for the fantasy-nerd-curious.
