Tempest The Scribes Medeisia ebook
I was so excited (keyword being WAS) to get this book and read it, but after my emotions were just shot to hell I'm not sure anymore. Maybe I should start at the beginning my Kye, my sweet, sweet Kye, "if you trace anymore scars, Phoenix, I will come undone." I love him there's just no other words to describe how much I do, "it doesn't mean I wouldn't want you to find out exactly how many scars I have." His voice lowered. "It doesn't mean that at all. "He tweaked the curl again. "I like it short. The sun has brightened it." There were some moments I just like ABOUT EFFING TIME!! "And with that, his mouth slanted over mine, the soft press of his lips the sweetest thing I'd ever tasted." Kye and Stone realize that love it sometimes hurts, and Kye my sweet, loving Kye knows always just what to say, "Kye's gaze searched mine. "It is supposed to hurt. The best kind of love always hurts like hell." (tearing up here and I can't say why) We meet a lot of new characters that I could tell will be around in the upcoming books, (sorry I'm really crying while writing this,) there was one scene my heart stopped and I couldn't finish the book (well I did but I was really unfocused so I had to go back and re-read it over and over again.)
Thump.
And then nothing...
Nothing.
(Sorry trying to collect myself to finish this review) Cadeyrn, he's really sweet, reminds me of well I can't put my finger on who he reminds me of. "He leaned forward, his mouth near my ear. "For out of the ashes of devastation will arise a phoenix, an omen, a child born under the Harvest Moon," Cadeyrn recited, his breath stirring the small hairs along my neck. It was the prophecy, the lines from the Book of Truth. "This child," Cadeyrn whispered, "will be born of forbidden magick, born to bring two nations together." I mean I thought we were getting a sneaky peak into the next book but then I realized he was talking about Stone.
Wow. So, I'm a little speechless, not to mention baffled by how I can possibly explain this book without spoilers. I've been a fan of Ryals for a long while and have read all of her work. It is always emotional, surprising, thrilling, and just plain fantastic. But with Tempest, she's managed to outdo herself on all counts. We left Stone in Mark of the Mage (The Scribes of Medeisia) with her prince (Kye), a band of rebels ready to give their life to free their people, and her growing connection to the forest and her magic. Tempest takes them on a journey to another kingdom as they try to overcome tyranny and restore the pendant to the dragons. The scenery is beautiful and deadly, and the plot unfolds without warning, taking the reader so deep into the story, you'll probably find yourself screaming at your Kindle or jumping on your furniture. And there may be some crying (which I won't admit to). It is the perfect fantasy, filled with contrasting story lines, romance, royalty, murder, magic, and dragons. If you enjoyed the first book at all, Tempest is a must. Five stars.

I am looking at the computer screen, trying to find the words to describe how absolutely flawless this book is, and failing miserably. Mark of the Mage was amazing, I fell in love with the world and the characters, and thought it was R.K. Ryals' best work yet; there was no way she could impress me more. I was wrong. Tempest has shown me, yet again, that R.K. Ryals has no limit to her talents.
BalasHapusThere were moments while reading Tempest, where I physically had to step away from reading, in order to process the intense emotions I felt. I found myself so immersed in this world, that I cried and yelled at my Kindle repeatedly. My heart was broken, and then, slowly put back together.
I feel so passionately about this series, that I can't stop telling people about it. I want everyone I know, to read and love it as much as I do!
