We Ride the Storm

This book single-handedly put me into a bit of a reading slump. (I say slump but it just took me about 5 days longer than I usually would, so this is a bit overdramatic but still).

There's one POV character that is legitimately interesting, which is Miko. Her opening lines were great and immediately brought you into her story. I think if you had to name a main character, it would definitely be her.

But then there's Rah, whose chapters (and whose character) I found very boring and was only really interesting for the connections to the other POV characters.

There's also Cassandra - who on paper should be a very fascinating character, but it doesn't really work. The situations she got herself in were just so ridiculous at times that I couldn't take her seriously, and the way her thoughts were written she felt way younger than she was supposed to be.

There's a few side characters that cross over between each character's chapters, and I felt that Rah's and Cassandra's chapters mostly served as a purpose to let us know what they were up to or what happened consequences wise after certain events in Miko's chapters. Them as characters didn't get as much development or attention as Miko did, and were mostly our viewpoint for the other characters that just happened to be at their location.

Miko's story is genuinely exciting though, and does have some surprises along the way. I just wish the other characters were as engaging.
