“You are lightning made flesh. Colder than falling snow. Unstoppable as the desert sands riding the wind. You are Stormling, Aurora Pavan. Believe it.” - Roar . . 🌟QOTD: Whats a series you’ve been in love with for a loooong time? . . Happy Saturday!! I am SO SO excited because this picture turned out better than I could have ever hoped!!! I LOVE PHOTOSHOP!! I may have a problem and you all may see a lot more as I continue to learn. But I had this photo idea the other day at like 6 am and just had to do it. Roar is a series that I have been following since before I came to this community and I just love everything about it so much!!! The concept of Stormlings (aka people who can control and capture storms into storm hearts) is such a unique and creative concept and one of the reason I love this book so much!! Not to mention a certain storm hunter!! I cannot wait for August and the sequel Rage to be out in the world!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #flatlaystyle #booknerd #instareads #bookstagram #ventureswithbooks #booklover #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookaddict #bookworm #yafiction #yabooks #bookishfeatures #amreading #bookstagramer #bookblogger #flowergram #roar #coracarmack #stormlings #photoshop #lightning https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxvU5JH-VN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e9i57j2mhif4
Roar by @coracarmack released today!!!
Happy book birthday to Roar by Cora Carmack!
In a land ruled and shaped by violent magical storms, power lies with those who control them.
Aurora Pavan comes from one of the oldest Stormling families in existence. Long ago, the ungifted pledged fealty and service to her family in exchange for safe haven, and a kingdom was carved out from the wildlands and sustained by magic capable of repelling the world’s deadliest foes. As the sole heir of Pavan, Aurora's been groomed to be the perfect queen. She’s intelligent and brave and honorable. But she’s yet to show any trace of the magic she’ll need to protect her people.
To keep her secret and save her crown, Aurora’s mother arranges for her to marry a dark and brooding Stormling prince from another kingdom. At first, the prince seems like the perfect solution to all her problems. He’ll guarantee her spot as the next queen and be the champion her people need to remain safe. But the more secrets Aurora uncovers about him, the more a future with him frightens her. When she dons a disguise and sneaks out of the palace one night to spy on him, she stumbles upon a black market dealing in the very thing she lacks—storm magic. And the people selling it? They’re not Stormlings. They’re storm hunters.
Legend says that her ancestors first gained their magic by facing a storm and stealing part of its essence. And when a handsome young storm hunter reveals he was born without magic, but possesses it now, Aurora realizes there’s a third option for her future besides ruin or marriage. She might not have magic now, but she can steal it if she’s brave enough.
Challenge a tempest. Survive it. And you become its master.
My review of Roar by Cora Carmack.
I must begin by saying - OMG how gorgeous is the cover by John Blumen?!
3 out of 5 Stars.
Cora Carmack's 'Roar' was one of my most anticipated reads of 2017, ever since I finished a preview of it on NetGalley. However, this book turned out to be a roller-coaster ride for me.
SLIGHT SPOILERS. Roar tells a story of a beautiful princess, who is about to inherit a throne from her mother in the kingdom of Pavan; a kingdom, like all others in the land of Caelira, riddled with extreme storms and natural phenomenon. There is just one tiny problem - Aurora (Rora or Roar) has no powers and cannot protect her kingdom from the storms. Her entire life has been spent hiding this shameful inability. But, her mother, Queen Aphra, comes up with a plan to marry Aurora to Cassius, the youngest son of the king of Locke, who is incredibly powerful. Thus our story starts - a young, scared princess about to marry a powerful, handsome prince. I completely fell for Cassius within the first few pages. He is dangerous, and dark and mysterious and I had very high hopes for Aurora/Cassius relationship. Alas, it was not to be - Aurora, after overhearing the plans of Cassius, decides to run away from home and join a group of storm hunters where she finds out that her entire life was a lie. Aurora learns that Stromlings (people who battle storms and have an affinity for them) are not the only people who can defeats them. She learns that with training and dedication she can hunt and control storms herself - so she sets out to train so that she may protect her kingdom without the need for Cassius. SO far so good! A young woman, takes her life into her own hands and tries to change her circumstances. That is before she meets Locke. Locke is a strong, fierce and gorgeous storm hunter who trains Roar. And of course, as the story goes, they hate each other at first but begin to fall for each other. I did not like Locke, he is controlling and possessive and just a typical alpha male. He constantly tells Roar that she cannot go into danger because she will hurt herself and goes around thinking statements like "If she was mine I would lock her in a house." I'm sorry, women are NOT possessions! I understand you want to protect her - then teach her to handle things, not try to coddle and diminish her! His treatment of Roar and Jinx (another female character) is so sexist that most of the time I wanted to slap Locke. This, however, should not come as a sock to me. Looking at Carmack's previous books - I can see that she loves to write the alpha male type. However, telling YA readers that it's okay for a male to diminish and control you is NOT okay. I honestly hope she gets rid of Locke or changes him completely in the next book. Locke is like Tamlin from Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses - a controlling bastard. Another aspect if the book that I found confusing was: there is a kingdom of Locke, a city of Locke, a prince of Locke, soldiers of Locke and then Locke himself. Are all the other names in fantasy takes? Sometimes I had to reread the sentence because I had no clue which Locke I was reading about. Meanwhile - we find out that there is a Stormlord - a man who can call and manipulate the storms, going around and attacking kingdoms. I must say - the magic system and the storms were SUPERBLY done. Carmack clearly thought out the world that she created (even if she completely messed up the map - if it is a days ride from Pavan to Death's Spine - then the whole continent is only 3 days ride wide lol). I honestly loved the complexity, the different cultures, climates and abilities. Only because of the Stormlord and Roar and the magic - would I love to read the next installment in the series, I could forego Locke completely. And can we have Cassius back? He is a complex character that I loved to read about.

I'm bored, so, Have a Hail-
She's my agent 4 oc, and the first outfit is an alternate agent outfit inspired by Splatroad series Lightroad (mainly the city of Nexus Lazer......boy this definitely aged me by a few years) Hail happens to be an ice type stormling.
And the second one I hail in her pajamas checking out a strange mark she found on her back sometime after a mission (with her guardian Sombra helping try and figure out where it came from....with little success. Also, pajamas outfit for Sombra too, because why not) Sombra is Hail’s guardian, and is a ghost/dark type, able to dissappear and reappear at will, and shift into a shadow wolf form
Hello tumblr, happy Friday the 13th!
In honor of today, meet one oc my ocs, Thorn Chancer! From Ice Floss (part of team sugar splats, hense the pink color)
More info under cut:
Thorn is a young octoling about 15 years old, making him the youngest of his teammates.
He was born with a curse....which is essentially Murphy’s Law, as in what can go wrong around him, will go wrong.
It's in effect everyday for him, so as a result he's banned from competing in anarchy/ranked battles (ironically, he has the highest rank out of his entire team)
But, there's an exception to Murphy’s Law: it's inactive every Friday the thirteenth. So, as a result, every Friday the 13th, he's allowed to participate in anarchy battles, and it turns out without Murphy’s Law around....he's a menace on the battlefield, lethal with his aiming, earning him the X rank.
Thorn, besides being an X rank, is also an agent of the N.S.S, codenamed agent 7, and joined around the same time agent 8 did, and the duo are childhood friends.
Thorn also has one more surprise...he happens to be a poison/dark typed stormling, a rarity for being dual typed. Because of this, a bite from him can be extremely lethal, so it's best not to piss him off.
