Rankings: Yup, each Season gets ranked depending on how well or how badly they do their job. Handlers: each Season gets the choice of companion to join them for their immortality, charged with watching over their Season, making sure they do their job well, and encouraging them to be rid of the preceding Season as quickly as possible - all for the sake of rankings. Some cool Season-specific magic combined with a sharp knife leaves Jack broken and bloody on the ground, but an almost-kiss interrupts the slaying - much to the chagrin of their handlers.
Except that this Spring is a girl named Fleur and it’s obvious that she and Jack have a history. And so Jack’s new normal begins.įast forward thirty or so years and Jack is a full-fledged Winter, on the run from Spring as she seeks to kill him.
Lying close to death, it’s an easy decision. When winter break shenanigans go horribly wrong, Jack is faced with the most important choice of his life: die, or accept Gaia’s offer of immortality by becoming Winter. So we have a bit more to discuss if this is to be even a semi-successful Seasons of the Storm review. I won’t go into too much detail but the synopsis provided by the publisher reaches its conclusion by the end of the first chapter.
But when two of the seasons fall in love, can they find a way out of this eternal order? In this Seasons of the Storm review, we’ll dissect what works, what doesn’t, and everything in-between. The concept is clever: each season - Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer - is a human-turned-immortal by Gaia, doomed to kill their preceding season and be killed by their predecessor in an endless cycle. “I assure you, there is nothing weak about the hearts of mortal men.”Įlle Cosimano’s Seasons of the Storm combines magic with technology with science with mythology to create a fantasy of epic proportions.
