    War Storm (Red Queen, #4)
    3.0
    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 4.0Characters: 3.0Plot: 3.0Audiobook: 3.0

    War Storm is an action packed series finale that does a great job at showing how good and bad are not as black and white as they seem. Storylines wrapped up nicely—some happy, some sad, some in between. But most importantly, the story feels complete.

    Had I read this as a teenager, I probably would have loved it. But I ultimately wanted more depth from the characters and their actions. After four books, I really didn’t care much about anyone other than Evangeline, shockingly.

    NEW: Make your book suggestions here!

    Hello everyone!

    I am making a new suggestion post because the original is a bit buried and I want to ensure it's easy to find the criteria for what does and does not qualify.

    If you have a suggestion for books to add to this quest, please comment them here. Make sure to double check that it has not already been requested on this post. If your suggestion is already here, please upvote the existing comment as I will use the upvotes to gauge interest!


    What qualifies a book for this quest? The books in this quest are structured around a game or trial rather than just including games/trials somewhere in the book. The entire narrative is about preparing for the games, the games themselves, and the aftermath of the games.

    Examples of books that would not fit despite including a game/trial plot point:

    • The Will of the Many by James Islington
    • The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
    • The Poppy War by R F Kuang

    While the games/trials in these books are important to the story, the books are not about the games/trials.


    10/28/25 note: I am currently focusing on adding diverse voices, especially BIPOC authors, to balance the quest a bit more.

    12/15/25 note: All suggestions from the old post and one-off posts have been added as individual comments here. If yours was missed please create a separate comment on this post.

    4/1/26 note: I will be reviewing options between now and June to add a few more to this quest!

  • Updating Covers on PB

    I love having my lil covers for the books in my PB library, but sometimes they never get updated once the cover is revealed. If a book still hasn’t gotten its updated cover, how do we request a fix/update? 🥺✨
