Note: You have not read a sci-fi/fantasy book like this before. Tropes...nah. It is a character driven narrative about the life and struggles that happen to each of us and all of us at the same time. As well as how we become what we become through the trials & 'Storms' of our life & times. There are several 'main' characters, lots of 'side' characters, each being developed to the point where it feels like a history (or a present) tale about the trails of times of a people and of Feriven, and less a redemption or loss tale one usually finds within the confines of the fantasy.

In the same way most people accept their own importance without question (ego), so does Revik. He is told he is something, and he believes it, given everything in order to achieve it, and he does. He does not question his own narrative, because it serves him well. Such as the way with privilege, in fantasy and life. We are all Revik, believing in the story(lie) that people are telling for us.
However, once he leaves his home, and enters a world with where others have their own objectives, his world is shattered, and he realizes the truth...his insignificance, or rather, the fact that you make your own significance, and that it cannot be built upon stories from others, and of course the burning question -- How does one make their significance? (Are we talking about us or the character? -- exactly.)

I cannot say enough about how the characters are developed and written. Each having motivations that are uniquely their own, no one being a pawn for the hero. When characters make decisions, it's doesn't feel as though it is because the author 'needed' them to make them, but because the characters actually would make them, and it's not because they know they won't die. For me, this is one of the main marks of good story-telling.

Feriven as a setting is quite beautifully created. Unique lands and peoples, as well a unique magic system, one in which people don't 'cast' spells as much as 'engage' in the magic arts that are harnessed through them and their abilities. The novel is paced in a way that just when you think you may have the 'arc' figured out, it continues to move and change, which creates anticipation for the next.

If sci-fi & fantasy are mirrors for life, a means to describe the indescribable, a creation of worlds to tell stories that reality cannot, then Our's is the Storm is a mirror on the wall for all of us. We are all Revik, we all believe our own lie. We all change, mature, and need redemption for our sins. (If I can go 'meta' for a moment...A few reviewers suggested that near the end, the author reverted to a sci-fi trope (love) in order for resolution. Lets say it is a true criticism, then one trope - a universal theme like love, is acceptable. However, I would disagree. In my estimation Revik thinks he is seeking love, because he doesn't know any differently; but what he actually seeks is something else entirely, salvation - which is a form of love, but not the trope version.)

Also, the author must have some understanding of combat to write sequences with such precision. That being said, it is not an 'action' novel, but there is conflict, and the realism of the descriptions brings an element of reality not experienced often in the genre. Hero's aren't running in and owning everyone with disregard with slash and hacks. Conflict is only described if it is important for the plot, not to fill gaps and pages.

I do not review grammar, editing, etc, as it does not matter to me. The words, the ideas, and how it moves me does.
This story walks with me, continuing to pry into my mind, forcing me to question my origin story, my tale of redemption, and begging me to considr how I am going to be significant in this life, so full of my own storms (and the storms of us all). This is what good fantasy does, and Ours is the Storm does not disappoint.

There will always be something that every person, because they bring their own issues with them into what they read, wishes was different or there was more/less of, etc. More setting description! Less! I want more of the Gharven! the Huumphar! The reader must remember that these are personal preferences and from the perspective of this story, we know all we need to know. It's good to want more from an author but bad to expect everything you want from one (anything) book.

That being said, D. Thourson Palmer is talented young author and 'Ours is the Storm' is worth taking a chance on. This debut novel shows that there must be more from the world of Feriven, and I for one will be reading.

Ours Is the Storm D Thourson Palmer 9781633370203 Books Reviews

Fantastically interesting and inspiring book, grabs your attention right away and holds it.
Fun, action packed debut novel that managed to twist the assumptions of classic fantasy tropes and keep you guessing from the first page. Love it.
I really enjoyed this book - it was very well written. The story was very interesting and the characters were well developed. I an anxiously awaiting the author's next book.
Michael Boye / February 5, 2014
This amazing fictional story has all the timeless elements of true life Truth can be a heavy burden; justice can exact a tremendous toll; and heroes are not what they seem. All this and an indigenous people's fight for survival against overwhelming odds is the grand story that David Palmer has written. Be forewarned, the "storm " takes a deadly and heartbreaking toll. Mystifying, heroic, and well-written "Ours is the Storm" would be stunning on the big screen.
"Ours is the Storm" is a new fantasy novel set in a very detailed environment. I liked the different systems of magic present which reminded me of the divisional system from the "Mistborn" series which was divided into Allomancy/Hemalurgy/Feruchemy. The terrain is described in detail and I felt that I could picture the varied landscapes as I read the novel.

The dialogue is written very well and the novel reads very fast. I thought the pacing was very good; I liked how it got right into the action of the series and then built the world as it went unlike "Lord of the Rings" which takes a little time to get into the real plot.

I'm looking forward to other novels by Palmer set in his new fantasy world of Feriven. If you are into series' like "A Song of Ice and Fire" or other gritty fantasy novels with a side of magic then you will enjoy "Ours is the Storm".
Now this is the good stuff, right here. Ours is the Storm has all of Tolkien’s sense of place backed up by Robert E. Howard’s muscle. But Palmer isn’t just winding up genre tropes and letting them scoot across the table; amid all the mediaeval politics and eldritch sorcery is a story very much grounded in the inner lives of its characters. Don’t miss this one. You’ll be sorry if you do.
If you are looking for a great read that contains well developed characters, an intriguing plot and best of all very detailed battle scenes, then look no further. Ours Is the Storm, written by D. Thourson Palmer is a great start to what is hopefully to become a series of novels. I am not in the know on this but with a book like this that is so well written and great with character development you cannot help but to expect another book to follow. Palmer did an amazing job of writing to a variety of readers as well. There is really a little something for everyone in here. From romance, to battle gore I would highly doubt that you would not be impressed with Ours Is the Storm. Do yourself a favor and grab two copies. This is of those books that you lend to a friend but regret it a day later because you wish to read it all over again.
