The Gathering Storm (Daughters of the People #6)
Summary:
Born a Viking and an immortal warrior of the People, Sigrid Glyvynsdatter has spent her entire life chasing wars and men, not necessarily in that order. Now one of the People's leading geneticists, she longs for the thrill of battle and the spoils of war. Even her work on the recently discovered Bones of the Just isn't enough to break the routine boredom she's fallen into.
Until Will Corbin snags her attention with a stolen kiss.
Will has been watching Sigrid from behind the bar of his parents' pub since she walked through its doors two years ago. In a fit of exasperation, he dares to kiss the woman he's wanted for so long, risking her wrath and his life.
But will that one kiss lead to something more, or will the forces aligned against them destroy the fragile attraction stretching between Will and Sigrid before they can fall in love? (Summary and cover courtesy of goodreads.com)

Review:
In this much-awaited book we finally get to find out (some!) what happens next in the world of the People and what is yet to come with the Shadow. Will is one character I was hoping would end up with a happy ending and I was happy to hear that he was the focus of this book. Sigrid is an interesting character who has been a daughter longer than most and thus has both more and less flexibility because of it.
This read was a little less intense than some of the previous in the series, but that is partially in the because it is based locally for the People. There was also a lot of setup for the next books to come as they start to bring the different stakeholders together. So be prepared for a lot of foreshadow and to be left hoping for more information! All in all it was wonderful to be thrown back into the series and I cannot wait to hear what happens next.
Warning: Contains violence and repeated sexual content.
Rating: 4 stars!
