Stormrise Kindle Edition

A combat warrior will risk everything to awaken the dragons and save her kingdom in Jillian Boehme's epic YA Fantasy debut, Stormrise, inspired by Twelfth Night and perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce.

If Rain weren’t a girl, she would be respected as a Neshu combat master. Instead, her gender dooms her to a colorless future. When an army of nomads invades her kingdom, and a draft forces every household to send one man to fight, Rain takes her chance to seize the life she wants.

Knowing she’ll be killed if she’s discovered, Rain purchases powder made from dragon magic that enables her to disguise herself as a boy. Then she hurries to the war camps, where she excels in her training—and wrestles with the voice that has taken shape inside her head. The voice of a dragon she never truly believed existed.

As war looms and Rain is enlisted into an elite, secret unit tasked with rescuing the High King, she begins to realize this dragon tincture may hold the key to her kingdom’s victory. For the dragons that once guarded her land have slumbered for centuries . . . and someone must awaken them to fight once more.

“Martial arts, a bold girl, a kingdom under attack, magic everywhere—I devoured it in one sitting! This book is one wild ride!” —Tamora Pierce

Review

“A bold girl, a kingdom under attack, magic everywhere―I devoured it in one sitting! This book is one wild ride!” ―Tamora Pierce

“Stand aside, Daenerys Targaryen. Stormrise is a gorgeous, non-stop adventure that kept me turning the pages well into the night!” ―Sarah Ahiers

"Boehme is a superb storyteller, masterfully combining elements of fantasy, love, loyalty to family, integrity, and sacrifice for the greater good. And did I mention dragons? I want more!" ―Dorothy Dreyer

"Boehme’s debut, which borrows from Twelfth Night, is an adventure perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce. A good fit for any collection." ―Booklist

"Captivating world-building and fantastical creatures . . . This lush, epic fantasy filled with magic and dragons will circulate well among fans of Tamora Pierce and J.R.R. Tolkien." ―School Library Journal

"Debut author Boehme makes the story exciting: The world is well thought out, and the dragons are distinctive, with clear rules for magic that will draw readers in." ―Kirkus Reviews

I read this in a few hours-all in one sitting. I should have gone to bed but I was hooked from the get-go. Great storyline, amazing cast of characters, and definite Mulan vibes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy Mulan Retelling
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2019

Stormrise is beautiful. At its core it is a retelling of Mulan, in a fantasy world, with dragons. It's familiar, yet different enough to surprise and feel fresh. The world feels so real--the history is rich, and the magic is simple yet authentic. And the characters--I LOVE the characters. They could walk right off the page. Even the minor characters are distinct. The MC, Rain, is flawed--she makes believable mistakes, and her feelings when she has to make difficult decisions...I ached for her. She cares deeply about her family, her friends, her homeland. If I had to pick someone for my team in a fight, I would absolutely pick her.
This worked really well as a standalone novel, but I would love to see more of Rain, and Forest, and the rest. Or just more in this world. With dragons.

My only real complaint....there is no map. 😝 I get all turned around when a lot of traveling happens in a story, but I have no map to reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn’t put this book down! It was captivating!

Reading Stormrise, I had tears in my eyes by page 26. I was immediately drawn into this new, fascinating world. The pacing of the book was perfect, and I could not put the book down!! Every day I was eager to read more.

Rain, the main character, is strong and unstoppable but also vulnerable and relatable. I was rooting for her within the first few pages! I also loved the dragon. I was holding my breath waiting for the moment when the dragon would appear-and I wasn’t disappointed!

Do yourself a favor and read this book!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Plagarism and Poor Writing To Truly Enjoy
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2019
I struggled a lot while reading Stormrise because I oscillated between enjoying it, being conflicted about it, and cringing at it. My biggest concern was the fact that the first 40% of the book was an almost direct pull from the plot of Disney’s Mulan. Obviously, there was more detail and more scenes added in – but nomads trying to breach the Stone Wall (instead of the Great Wall), all men being conscripted into the army, the father having been injured in the last war and the daughter taking off in the night so he doesn’t have to go back, the long journey to the camp, the young commander that is really good at his job and his elders respect, the repeated failures to get an item at the top of a rope (instead of a pole) and finally perseverance wins out and she makes it, etc. – if you’re familiar with the Disney version of the story of Mulan than you will wonder if you’re reading a Mulan retelling. It went its own way to a degree for some of the middle of the book and then blended the originality with the ending of Mulan once more. I would have given it more of a pass if it had said it was inspired by Mulan, but with more dragons! Okay, I can be on board for that. I love Mulan and dragons, but this said it was a retelling of Twelfth Night (the only commonality was the crossdressing, the rest of the plot didn’t correlate) so I felt like this was a deception.

That being said, I love Mulan so I enjoyed it despite the fact that I always wondered if it was slightly plagiarized. I really had fun going on the journey with Rain as she trained with her fellow soldiers. The first 40% of the book was incredibly enjoyable, even though as I mentioned before there were some moments when I cringed over the writing quality or descriptions. I still really got absorbed in the book and the story in the beginning. When it started to be more original and follow the plot of Mulan less is when I felt some of my attention waning. There was a lot of time and detail given to scenes that I felt could have been shortened and would have helped with the pacing.

I really appreciated the thought put into the dragons. Even though I wish that there was more world building and lore given, I felt that the dragons were a unique element in this book. They were represented very differently than I feel dragons normally are in literature. The main dragon that we are exposed to in the story has a coat (think fur) and six legs – I appreciated that she took the time to draw more inspiration from Asian depictions of dragons than Western ones, since I feel they are woefully underrepresented in literature. Although I wish we were given more, I do think that the dragon lore was a redeeming element of the book because it was original (to me).

There were no characters that I personally connected with, although I liked Forest the most. That being said, you may find yourself connecting with some of the characters that I did not and enjoy the book more. There was a little character development over the course of the novel, most of which came from Rain (our main character) although it was more telling than showing those changes. Sometimes the new opinions and actions were jarring because they seemed to come out of nowhere. I felt the same way about the romance, I never felt it building it just seemed to have random moments or scenes which felt unjustified and then were cemented without the proper foundation.

Overall, I ended up feeling fairly middle of the road about this book. There were times that I really enjoyed it and others in which I couldn’t put it down fast enough (I don’t want to spoil anyone, so I didn’t talk about those moments). It ended on a satisfying note but mirrored Disney’s Mulan once more. As a result, I felt this book deserved three out of five stars – it had moments when it was enjoyable and others when it wasn’t. I had such high hopes for this because I love dragons and I’m left feeling confused.

Quick summary: a girl who's braver than the boys around her, memorable cast of characters, gorgeous writing, friends-to-lovers that is refreshingly NOT an insta-love, and of course...DRAGONS!!!

Jillian Boehme's world and characters will stick with you long after you finish reading. Expect to feel a range of emotions--from inspired to nervous to angry to tearful. Cannot recommend enough!!

Mulan meets Eragon. I knew it would be perfect and it was. Worth the wait for all of us encouraged and inspired by the author's journey.
