Tempt the Stars

(Cassandra Palmer #6)

Karen Chance (Goodreads Author)

4.14 · Rating details · 8,202 ratings · 644 reviews

Being a goddess is a lot less fun than you might think. Especially when you’re only a half goddess, and you only found out about it recently, and you still don’t know what you’re doing half the time. And when you’ve just used your not-so-reliable powers to burglarize the booby-trapped office of a vampire mob boss.

Yeah, that part sucks.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg ...more

Disappointing, I think this was probably the worst book in the series for me. It wasn't awful, I still kind of liked it, but it definitely wasn't as fun as previous books. To be honest I found the plot, the action scenes, the characters, and the dialogue all rather frustrating.

Random thoughts:

-The plot wasn't very engrossing, Cassie wanted to save Pritkin from hell/his demon lord dad - and to do that she went to various people/places/times for help and whilst there she got into various ...more

When I started this book, I intended to spread my reading over at least three days to savour it for longer, but by the second day it rapidly became un-put-downable!

Since finishing, I've read a bunch of other reviews where people are saying either 1) the actions scenes were too confusing or 2) they didn't like something or other about Pritkin/Mircea in this book. I would have to respectfully refute these points.

If you take the time to read, rather than skim, I don't get the first complaint at al When I started this book, I intended to spread my reading over at least three days to savour it for longer, but by the second day it rapidly became un-put-downable!

Since finishing, I've read a bunch of other reviews where people are saying either 1) the actions scenes were too confusing or 2) they didn't like something or other about Pritkin/Mircea in this book. I would have to respectfully refute these points.

If you take the time to read, rather than skim, I don't get the first complaint at all. Crazy, chaotic, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants action scenes have been a trademark of Karen Chance's since her first book, and you either love them or you don't. But they're not new. I'm honestly a little bemused by this complaint.

As for the second point, well, my take on this is quite different. I would sum up this book in a single word: epic. I think we need to look beyond the fangirling over Pritkin or Mircea. Karen Chance is on record for saying she dislikes her books being confused with romance novels. That's not to say we can't fall in love with her characters, but this is firmly an Urban Fantasy story. And the story in this book was amazing!

I love a series where each book builds on what went on before, and where the author drops hints towards a far greater story arc. I love to pick over mysteries and clues and there's enough fodder in this book to easily tide me over till the next release. We learn a great deal about Cassie's parents, who really weren't quite what I expected (understatement), and Pritkin's rescue naturally dominates much of the story, but it's the revelations about 'the big picture' that we get along the way that make this a five star read for me.

I love a hot book boyfriend as much as the next guy/gal, but I feel judging this book in terms of what Cassie did or didn't do with Pritkin or Mircea is a colossal injustice. KC has created an amazing, huge world in her books, and her characters become more deliciously grey with every release. You can see Cassie developing and growing before your eyes, as she juggles the burdens of responsibility and dependency (and she's not the only one.)

Finally, on the "cliffhanger" ending ... I didn't even class it as a cliffhanger. I found myself grinning with anticipation as I read the final sentences.

Gah! Bad Karen Chance for leaving us with that crazy cliffhanger at the end of Curse the Dawn!

Cassie decides she must go retrieve Pritkin from Hell, and goes back in time in order to speak to her mother to get advice on how to deal with demons, since she has experience with them.
Cassie then sets out with Casanova/Rian and Caleb to Rosier's home world and after a mad chariot drive through walled gates, they find Pritkin in a luxurious room in his father's palace. What is not divulged is if Pritkin was whored out during his 6 months. He now wears silk trousers. He is not happy that Cassie risked her life to come get him, but he does attempt to escort her to safety.

This is where I get mad, because Cassie SHOULD HAVE KNOWN there would be automatic repercussions if Pritkin leaves Hell in violation of his sentence. How TSTL is she?

Lots of wild action, from fighting robots and accelerated-growth trees, to windsurfing a flying carpet through a hell dimension, to a demon bar fight and mad dash down zip lines to get to the demon council chamber, this was a typical non-stop Karen Chance explosion. And as usual, Cassie is a mess and still looking for something to eat...several times.
I didn't care for Pritkin's fate, but the way ahead (next book: Cassie and Rosier on a road trip, through time!) was made known so it was not so much of a cliff hangar as could have been.

In the end the characters' growth shows. Cassie learns much about her parents, experiences new powers, and grew to realize she needed Pritkin, not just any war mage but HIM and tells him so.
Pritkin spent 6 months in his father's demon realm thinking about what he was missing, and came to realize he wants Cassie and it was high time he told her. So he tried to.

The only scene with Mircea turned out to be a mind thing and not in person, and the meeting between Cassie and Dory did not take place in TtS.
There were no info dumps, and the plot fill-in came as a Princess Lea type projection in the demon council chamber, and a discussion in a demon bar.

As always, I enjoyed Cassie's adventures -- but this is one of the weaker installments. Part of the problem was the resolution (or rather, the non-resolution) to Cassie & Pritkin's separation. At the close of this book we're right back where we started, which begs a question:

Until now I have read the first three books and hav just started with the fourth. I love the books. Karen did a great job. BUT they aren't free of flaws:-

1) I hate how it's been three books and Cassie is still bitching about how she hates the power. Yeah I get the whole thing about people gunning for her because she is the Pythia and all but come on. She keeps talking like Agnes MEANT for her to receive the power. How many times does she have to be told before she gets it into her head that the power chooses where it goes. No one can control where it goes!!! It has been told to her over and over and over again by everyone. But she is just so smart that she just never understands. Yeah Cassie. Can totally see how smart you are. Another example of her smartness: that extremely powerful spell from the Codex Merlini. Um....everyone has told her that it's an EXTREMELY powerful spell and should at any cost NOT be found. Yet she goes: so what's so special about this again? Does she by any chance have short term memory loss? Cause I can totally see that happening. And by the way she didn't care about the most extremely spell becoming an open knowledge and only cared about the geis, well.....I can already see the makings of a self-interested Cassie who is gonna piss me off this series. Also, does NOBODY find that scene in Book 1 when, while eating, she suddenly asks Mircea if he could off her just to show Pritkin. It was the most memorable scene for me cause it was so awkward how it was played out. I dunno why. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it was.

2) In Book 1, Pritkin was this awesome top-notch assassin who no one could beat. He could take on a cavalry without so much as breaking out in a sweat. Yet right after Book 1, Pritkin has either BARELY escaped getting killed by war mages or completely losing when it comes to vampires. He became an average low-grade war Mage, rather than the top assassin who could kill a cavalry of supernatural beings. WHAT happened? Where are his skills!!! Are you telling me, that Pritkin can kill any number of demons but not even one vampire? Bullshit! The book has carved out demons and dark mages to be the most powerfu amongst the supernatural beings. If he can kill demons with ease, then he can definitely take on a vampire! I mean come on! The war mages and vampires, hated each other right? If their #1 assassin is Pritkin and he can't even kill ONE vampire, then how the hell didn't the war mages get extinct yet? Vampires could have crushed them easily. And don't tell me they didn't have reason to, cause the treaty between them is fairly new. Before that, they always waged wars on each other. So yeah, I keep expecting Pritkin to, for once, not look weak in Book 2 & 3 but so far I was majorly disappointed. Also, he is not only half demon, but he is MERLIN!!! Even the vampires said that Merlin was THE GUY. Heck if let's say that Pritkin was not supposed to be strong physically but magically cause he is Merlin the great who was a powerful mage. Ok then. Why doesn't he use his magic powers? When is he going to use them? After the vampires or anybody else kills him? Cause I doubt you take your skills to the afterlife. So WHAT happened! Why do I not see any evidence of the strong guy that Pritkin is supposed to be. It looks like so far, he has only been able to defeat Cassie.

3) Well there is something I noticed in Book 3. When Fançoise and Radell chained Cassie to a fence and left to talk to Jimmy about the hidden portal, Cassie shifted back in time. She shifted after Françoise and Radell were fairly far away. And yet, they shifted with her. According to the book, she needs skin contact to shift another person. Also if she can shift without contact, she could have shifted her and Mircea from the past to 1793 without having to going through all that trouble to touch Mircea. And also if she can shift other people from a distance, then other than Françoise and Radell, there must have been many people in the same diameter cause hello it's a CLUB. And yet it was only Françoise and Radell. When noticed this, I just moved on thinking that I better not dwell too much into this, which also brings me to another point: long drawn out action sequences. Now I like action sequences but some scenes are just too drawn out, so much so that I lose track of what happened before that particular sentence and have to back-pedal and read the previous passages again.

4) now the big thing. The love triangle. Wow where do I start. For starters. I have hated Cassie & Mircea together since the very first book, even when I hated Pritkin. During Book 1 i had hoped she would go to Tomas. That couple, while good didnt have much chemistry but still it would have been better than her Mircea (starting Book 2 i became the member of Team Pritkin not only because I don't like CassieXMircea but because Pritkin and Cassie had chemistry and were well perfect together). She hadn't even chosen Mircea then, and I already knew what kinda relationship theirs would be: Mircea bossing Cassie around, Cassie bitching that she doesn't like it but only in words cause she caves in every time he starts seducing her, which he will do every time they meet. Also because of this they will never talk. So in the end, it will always be Mircea telling her not to do something, Cassie saying no, them having sex so that Cassie won't oppose him, she caves, and then both of them leaving. And judging by the reviews of Book 4, I think my guess was bang on. Their relationship is based on NOTHING but sex. Yeah they both might love each other, but a relationship can't last long based on only sex. People out there, PLEASE do not copy Mircea & Cassie's relationship cause it is one of the worst kinda relationship possible. And why do I feel like Cassie doesn't really love him? It feels like she loves him more like family. When she was young, Mircea was the only one (according to her) who cared for her and she found in him a family that she always wished she had. I feel like she is confusing this with the actually man-woman love. Mix in her infatuation with him when she was younger and yup it damn well looks like a confusion. Also I haven't liked Mircea from the start. I mean as a friend he would be great but as a boyfriend? I am sorry but no. I could never love a guy who sees me like a child who doesn't know anything and then has sex with me to just shut my mouth before I can defy him instead of seeing and talking to me like an adult, like an equal. And Cassie is at fault here too. She whines about how she doesn't like being controlled and hence she will never allow anyone to control her, even Mircea, but she caves the moment sex comes in, and then after that, she whines about the same thing again. I am sorry but I hate hypocrites. Pritkin on the other hand is awesome. Yes he scolds her a lot but do you see what he is doing in the process? He is making her realise her mistakes so she doesn't repeat them. He lets her do whatever she wants provided it is not something stupid. He is always there for her when she needs him. Also their relationship is DEVELOPING. Instead of humping each other like bunnies, they TALK. They bicker, drive each other insane with rage, get pissed off at each other, hurl things at each other, claw each other's eyes out, etc etc etc. But at the end of the day, they fight side by side. Most of all, he actually tries teaching her how to fight so she can defend herself like a grown up. Does Mircea do this? No. He just wants to lock her away in his bedroom so that he can fuck her all day. Their relationship is developing the way a real relationship would and should. Mircea and Cassie's relationship which starts at sex, ends at sex and which has everything in between as sex, well......I think this sentence itself says it all.

5) Now this is a minor complain but I don't really like the nicknames for Cassie. Dulceata, Chica, etc. um.....what happened to good old Cass or K if you can't be bothered with even that. Another reason why I like Pritkin more XD!!

HOPES:-

1) Cassie to acknowledge her gift.

2) Cassie to stop being so thick-headed.

3) Less confusing action sequences.

4) Cassie to choose Pritkin. Now I am going to guess who the author will make THE pair. The thing that worries me here are that at the end of Book 3, Cassie says how Mircea's voice hummed through her. How their passion was humming through both of them, with equal need. While with Pritkin, it was just a sexual arousing. Yeah she wanted him but she didn't describe it as well passionately as with Mircea. Then Pritkin (sigh I so don't want to say this) has been made weaker than Mircea (at least so far) and we all know that the damsel always goes to the most powerful guy who here has been projected (again so far) as Mircea. What gives me hope is how everyone wants Pritkin to win. Most probably the author will hear us........right? And I learned that Pritkin gets taken to the underworld at the end of Book 5. Well if so, then I am hoping that maybe somehow all his memory will somehow get erased and he would become evil, having been influenced by his dad, and also becoming 100 times more kick-ass, powerfull and invincible than even a vampire (maybe his dad will make him his chief bodyguard and henceforth give him some special powers and amplify his already present ones so that he can protect his dad. Also when Cassie kills him, the powers will stay with Pritkin) Then Cassie would try to bring him back to his old self henceforth realising in the process that she loves him and not Mircea. Also I want Cassie to realise her love for Pritkin first cause that small agonising period when she thinks her love is one-sided, will teach her not to cheat on Pritkin the way she did on Mircea.

5) this series shouldn't go one for long. Max 7 books. The next one dealing with Pritkin's dad and the 7th (hopefully last) dealing with the ultimate villain Rasputin (he IS the ultimate villain right?) cause I seriously CANNOT wait 1 year for each book! I am already an impatient person. This is why I stick to completed stories! Damn it! But this story is really good so I will wait TT_TT. But only if Pritkin gets chosen in the end cause otherwise, this whole sEries will be my worst series ever. ...more
