Not as enjoyable as the first novel
By Stefan
Stormlord Rising, the second novel in Glenda Larke's WATERGIVERS trilogy, starts right where The Last Stormlord left off: Ryka is a captive of the marauding Reduners, Terelle is traveling to Khromatis against her will, and Jasper -- the titular last stormlord -- finds himself forced to work together with his nemesis (and now de facto ruler) Taquar Sardonyx to create much-needed rainstorms for the parched lands of the Quartern. With almost every main character forced into a situation they don't want be in right from the start, this novel is a darker and, unfortunately, less enjoyable story than its predecessor.
Ravard is an interesting new character, though most readers will figure out right away who he actually is. Fortunately, that doesn't spoil what's possibly the most multi-dimensional character in the series. In comparison, other characters are thin, especially the renegade rainlord Taquar and Davim the Reduner leader. These two villains sometimes lapse into cartoon-like speech that's so over-the-top evil that, if this were a Bond movie, they'd probably be in wheelchairs, wearing monocles and petting white cats.
The Last Stormlord is a fast-paced read, but there are a few points where Stormlord Rising drags, especially during a number of repetitive arguments between the main characters. Although the chapters focusing on Ryka and Ravard keep the reader's interest, they unfortunately contain many of the more transparent plot twists. The chapters featuring Terelle's water painting suffer from the same problem, particularly as Terelle's abilities become a magical and all-too-convenient fix for seemingly insurmountable problems. At times, this transparency, together with the relative thinness of many characters, gives Stormlord Rising a young adult tone. Re-reading The Last Stormlord for this review, I noticed it actually has the same problem, but that novel is so fast-paced and so much plain fun to read that I barely noticed it at first reading.
Considering its straightforward plot and characterization, Stormlord Rising contains a disproportionately large number of characters that are involved in or are the victim of sexual violence and sexual manipulation. I won't list examples here, but so many of the characters are at some point either victim or perpetrator (or both) of rape, are threatened with forced prostitution, or use sex to manipulate people, that the plot device unfortunately begins to lose some of its impact. Characters casually say things like "You can avail yourself of her reluctant services if you like. [...] The bitch bit me, though, so be careful."
Even if I occasionally groaned at some corny dialogue and predictable plot twists, it was exciting to revisit the Quartern in Stormlord Rising. The setting is still fascinating, and the theme of water conservation remains relevant. Despite a few slow spots and some repetition, the novel is otherwise fast-paced. We also learn more about the mysterious Watergivers and the history of the land, which, together with the novel's action-packed plot, kept me interested enough to finish this second part of the WATERGIVERS trilogy and left me looking forward to finding out how the story ends in Stormlord's Exile.

Very pleasing sequel!- can't wait for the f/u!
By AMagicalMind
I'm thrilled with Larke's new trilogy- this is the first time I've read any of her work but The Last Stormlord and Stormlord Rising have made me a firm fan. I will definitely be following up with Stormlord's Exile and her other books. Well-written and suspenseful with original characters.

A bit of a let down from the previous book.
By bookaddict01
Hope the following isn't too confusing since I didn't want to give away too many spoilers.
I like Jasper but I didn't connect with Terelle at all. No feelings about her either way. I ended up feeling more for Ryka although I'm not sure if I like her or dislike her. It depends on what's happening at the moment. So Ryka was a slave throughout this book and apparently that gives her a lot of chance to make chaos. I think that's just too convenient. If you read the whole book, it's like here's another chance for her to work against them from within. And I could totally see the surprise coming although I have nothing against cliches because there's a reason they're so often use - they do work. I feel bad for Ravard and I dont see how it's going to go right in the next book. The solution they thought of in the end was pretty obvious but we will see if it works out later.
On a sidenote, Larke tossed in a little homosexuality for no reason. If you're a homophobe, dont worry cause there's very little here. I just thought it curious since it served no purpose to advance the plot nor was it needed to explain any motives. It was used as a motive for why Elmar didn't tell Kaneth something but there was sufficient reason even without it.
I do think the title of the next book sounded ominous. I sincerely hope this series doesn't go like her other series Isle of Glory because I liked each book less than the one before and felt cheated out of my money. Overall, I'm not sorry for reading it but I hope the end of the trilogy justify my having paid for the book.
