The Stormbringer

The Stormbringer by Isabel Cooper, 343 pages

A century after being frozen in battle with the evil wizard Thyran, Amris is awoken from a magical stasis by Darya, a magically enhanced human on the hunt for evil beings. Though he's missed out on the land's descent into poverty and despair, Amris has returned none too soon, as he and Darya soon discover that Thyran has also returned, and is set on finishing what he started 100 years earlier. Luckily, Darya has a sword that is imbued with the soul of the powerful wizard Gerant — who just happens to be Amris' long-gone lover.

OK. The summary makes this sound ridiculous, and for the most part, it is. There's fantasy, there's romance, there's a shirtless warrior on the cover (Amris wears armor in the book), and the baddie is fairly cardboard. Worth your time? Eh, depends on what you're looking for. For me, who went into this assuming it was straight-up fantasy (based on a recommendation), it wasn't worth it.
