Keeper of the Waters

Daughter of Destiny #2

by Jenna Solitaire

My name is Jenna Solitaire―and I am the Keeper of the Boards. I have the Board of Air. And every day, I hear the voice of the Board of Water calling to me. Somehow, I must find it and master its powers--before someone else does... Having mastered the power of the Board of Air, Jenna travels to Jerusalem to find the Board of Water. She is accompanied by Simon Monk, who seeks the Boards on behalf of the Vatican. Jenna doesn't trust Simon, but he's her only source of information about the Boards. In Jerusalem, Jenna meets Saduj, a local guide who claims to be able to help them find the Board they seek. Simon is suspicious, but Jenna finds herself strangely attracted to Saduj. Jenna must find the Board before it awakens and causes unimaginable destruction. But will she lose her heart―and possibly her life―in the process?

This was one of the first book series I ever read. And tbh, since then I have read it once or twice more. It was so long ago that I barely remember how it was written, I just know that I enjoyed it. It made me cry and laugh and it did captivate me. Just... ya know, in 2006, when I was... 13. :/

Jenna is a daughter of destiny, the last in a family line that had a magical tool, a board that was infused with power and when it was realized this power could not fall into the wrong hands the board was deconstructed in pieces and hidden. Now the board is calling itself to be put together, and Jenna is answering that call. In the previous book, Jenna had acquired a board of wind and now she is searching for its brother, the board of water. Her quest takes her on a journey through the desert and with a little help from her friends she tracks down the location of the last board.

I did not read the first book before starting this, the author did do a good job filling in the past story in bits and pieces so if you did read the first you weren't obnoxiously bogged down with the first books actions and if you didn't you weren't completely lost in the story. I think the book had a good pace and action scenes. The way that the information just comes and everyone agrees, that got a little like "really well that was an easy way out" which did move the story along and I could understand why the author did it. Overall this was a good story, great for a weekend read, when you don't want to overthink but be entertained.

3.5 stars. It reads like a 2006 YA (which is exactly what it is) so it’s kinda bad, but kinda interesting regardless

Couldn’t even get interested enough to read sufficient pages to feel justified in giving it a rating.

This series makes for a great quick read. Interestingly the author has integrated herself as the main character.

It's been awhile since I read 'Keeper of the Winds,' so I had to reaquaint myself with the characters. But it was a good read.

A good book for Preteens, but there are plenty better out there.
