Sadly, after the wonderful surprise that was the first book in the series, Storm & Shield turned out to be disappointing. The characters weren’t as nearly as interesting and complex as Naime and Makram and their relationship was not as convincing either. Though I understand physical attraction, their journey of falling in love felt a little bland and one-dimensional to me. At the end, I did not see how they got to the point where they did not want to live without each other. Moreover, the plot itself was boring and I could not get into it.

Overall, though I can’t say I hated this book, it did not meet my expectations and I have a lot to complain about. Nevertheless, I will continue with the series to see whether Storm & Shield was an exception, because this series has a lot of potential.
