#BookReview: Whisper of War and Storms (Heirs of Elydor #1) by C.L. Mecca

Synopsis:

A spellbinding, epic romantasy adventure of tangled secrets and dark magic for fans of Sarah J Maas, Callie Hart, Rebecca Yarros and Jennifer L Armentrout. A lost princess. A forbidden love. A destiny she never knew awaited her.

When a forgotten ring reveals Mevlida Brennan’s true heritage as the long-lost princess of Aetheria, a kingdom of immortals and magic, her world is turned upside down. But there’s just one problem—Mev didn’t know she was missing.

Thrust into a realm on the brink of war, Mev is caught between her newfound legacy and a dangerous political game. A powerful king holds the key to restoring the ancient portal that connects their realms, but his son, Kael, stands in her way. Brooding, relentless, and dangerously irresistible, Kael is sworn to protect his people—even if it means kidnapping Mev to keep her from uncovering the truth.

As dark forces rise and her dormant powers awaken, trust is a luxury neither can afford, yet their hearts may leave them no choice. Mev must embrace her destiny or risk losing everything. Because the storm isn’t coming—it’s already here.

In a battle of elemental magic, loyalty, and love, one whisper could spark a war.

My Review:

This one had a really cool setup and I loved the idea of a forgotten ring revealing a hidden heritage. The world of immortals, magic, and rising war pulled me in at the start, and Mev stepping into a life she never knew about was definitely interesting. The tension with Kael added some good drama too.

But as the story went on, I didn’t stay fully hooked. There were parts that felt slower and I didn’t always connect with the characters the way I wanted to. The world has a lot of potential and there were moments I enjoyed, but overall it ended up being an average read for me.
