Disclaimer: **I received an e-copy of this book for review. All opinions are my own, and this review has an extremely mild spoiler!**
Eye of the Storm reminded me of an old-school fantasy novel in a good way. From the first fifteen to twenty pages, the plot is intriguing and the intent is clear. The reader knows what’s going on, as well as the obstacles that have presented themselves early on, and it was that intrigue that pulled me in right away. Dr. Anna Fayne is an anthropologist and along with former SEAL Eric Slade, they lead a research expedition to investigate the appearance of a Neanderthal. From there ,the anomalies begin piling up, and the research team find themselves in a new world that has its own share (many, many shares!) of problems. Dr. Fayne and Slade are soon caught on opposite sides of a war that has been brewing, as well as a plot to overthrow the city of Tulkoras.
