Whirlwind of Loss and Rememberance is a great sequel to continue Aella's adventures in this fantastical world. There are twists and turns throughout, some heart warming and some heart breaking. Ngl I was low-key devastated for our FMC at one point.
There are new elements to book 2 in this series which are particularly exciting developments, one being the introduction of some very spicy scenes. I felt these were really well written and that Aella deserved her whirlwind romance being brought to fruition.
Aella's ongoing investigations of other worlds and her powers and place within them keeps you intrigued and rooting for her. There was one character I missed the banter with but, no spoilers, I'm glad of the direction the characters travelled in towards the end and what that means for book 3. :) There were also character relationships, in particular her romantic developments, to keep the reader well invested and rooting for her.
There are new, powerful, plot developments which will leave you questioning how the story will evolve. The cliffhanger makes you want the 3rd book in this series and leaves you wanting so much more from Aella and the characters in this story...
