White Tiger, Black Tiger, both beautiful, faithful and loving. One young women torn between a love is safe and one that is all consuming. The pain from the past guides her, but is it right ? A terrible triangle, both choices are good. Together then struggle on to finish the quests, to end the curse that keeps these princes in tiger form. The quest lead them into the world of dragons. It is dangerous magical and utterly beautiful. Amazing. Ending with a soft cliffhanger.
The only thing I did not like about this story was that it ended. The author's unbelievable ability to weave her words so poetically had me entranced. This is one of those books I could read many times and not tire of it.

UPDATE: Nov 2017
Overall, I actually enjoyed reading this novel. I really enjoyed reading the part with the dragons and the quest in general, I had forgot about most of that over the years. I still really hate the love triangle between Ren-Kelsey-Kishan. Its head-against-the-wall-smashing, but I understand that its mostly necessary for further plot/character development in Tiger's Destiny (knowing the end before getting there). Reading Ren and Kelsey's parts makes my heart swoon and reading about Kelsey denying her feelings for Ren time after time makes me yell at my book like a madman. After reading this book for the, at least, second time, I think I've changed my favourite to this book. If not for the love component, then for the adventure and journey.

All in all, it wasn't my fav book of the series. It was a bit strangled to see Kelsey piece her relationship with Ren back together. And then avoiding him when his memories came back. If she really loved Ren, why didn't she tell Kishan the truth and went back to Ren. Of course Kishan would have to live with the consequences. Kelsey was hurting Kishan and Ren. She was t making anyone happy, not even herself.
I loved the dragons and how they taught you lessons about life and love.
Wes was one of my fav characters in the book.
I also loved how everything was set when Kelsey felt empty but then felt whole again when Ren's memories came back.
All in all, it wasn't the best, but still good.
P.S. loving mr.kadam.

I thought that just maybe it would get better but I was wrong... still predictable and the characters are still annoying. I am only continuing this story because my friend told me that she liked it and believes I will come to like at the end... we will see one more book to go!

I realise I am not the target audience for this book, but teenage girls, if you’re reading this, life’s not this way. Not everyone you meet will fall in love with you, not everything will magically fall into place and sometimes and you will not have someone to “protect” (Read smother!) you with so-called “love”. And I want you to know that that is completely okay. You are complete and whole by yourself.
Love is an adventure in which two strangers discover parts of themselves they didn’t know existed, not just sucking face like it happens in this book.
Kelsey Hayes once again wins the award for the worst protagonist ever. She’s so immature and though everyone harps about how strong she is, still, every time she has a chance to show that strength, she seems to have someone around to protect her. She comes off as stupid, selfish and very very annoying. And her dilemma of choosing between the two brothers is just so annoying in the backdrop of the plot. I wanted to beg her to stop comparing the two of them for atleast 10 effin’ seconds.

This series ranks really high, this book in particular made me so angry, sad, happy and then mad all over again. It still deserves 5 stars after the numerous times Ren made me want to chuck the book against the wall. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm team Kishan. I cannot wait for the next book, especially after the way this one ends. What a way to drive me nuts.

Update*
"Loving Ren was like loving an atomic bomb. When he went off he would destory everything around in a ten mile radius.Of course, I always managed to be standing in the middle of the bullseye. Sharpnel had mangled my heart. Twice. Kishan tried to pick up the pieces and hold them together by sheer will, but there were gaps. Pieces were missing" ~Kelsey
Alright, as you guys know,I am rereading this series in order to be prepared for Tigers Dream. I remember when I first read this book. I hated Ren for all he was worth. I didnt care to understand the why to his actions. I just took his actions for what they were. Ones that caused pain and destruction. I felt that he was overly sensitive, possessive and dramatic. Nothing within him resembled the prince from the first book. I think he changed. and for the worse. However, he wasnt the only one who's actions hurt the people around him. Yes, he was the main source of pain, but so was Kelsey. She...I do not know how I feel about her. At times I admire her, at times I frown at her. I know she is just trying to do the impossible, but I think she is going to leave harm behind no matter what. She...she tries to fight her feelings for Ren and force herself to be with Kishan. And that is the problem right there. Love shoulnt have to be forced. It should come naturally. Yes, she was trying to save Kishan heartbreak...but by trying to not toy with his feelings, I think she is doing just that. I think Kishan deserves better. But ultimately, he just deserves to be happy. WIll the father of many ever be though? I hope.
P.S i love the gold dragon, he is one of the characters I hope to meet again if possible.
I just finished the Tiger's Voyage by Colleen Houck and I must say that this book is equalling as thrilling as the other two books in the Tiger Saga series. I continue to eat up the romance and the danger that lies beneath the ink. So must power and emotion lie within the context. I deeply cherish and love these characters. I feel what they feel, hate what they hate, experience their journey together. You all might think I sound crazy for talking as if the characters are real, but for me, they are real. Their inner struggles, their passion, that's what makes a book come to life for a reader. I can not wait to see what the fourth book has in store. Questions?
