Jessica’s Review:
4 STARS!!!!
“And in that moment, I learned something. I learned sometimes moments aren’t always big ones. Sometimes moments aren’t loud or awe-inspiring. Sometimes, they’re just enough.” ~Stone
This line stuck with me long after I finished this book. I had a lot of mixed feelings with this book that I didn’t have with book 1. In Temptest, we meet another part of the prophesy, Prince Cadeyrn. He is a leader, brutally honest and powers of his own. The rest of Stone’s group are present as they begin to cross the Ardus, attempting to meet with King Freemont regarding Raemon.
There were parts of this book that were very unexpected and bothered me, which is why it’s 4 stars instead of 5. Sometimes in war, you have to have great loss before you can have great gain. I can’t say much without giving away big parts of the story. Be prepared for a roller coaster of emotions. Nothing is what you think or hope for after book 1.
