I finally finished but the wait for the next one is going to kill me. At least the wait is in months and not years. I want Pritkin to live. I hope Cassie and Rosier manage to save him.

Yes! Absolutely love this book! I love that she hints at future magical training. And that Rosier has to deal with her a lot. Especially at the end! Definite Pritkin moment that started perfect and went horrible. Looking forward to seeing her get to know her coven and save Pritkin in the next book/ books :D

Since her coronation (the one she wasn’t invited to) Cassie Palmer has had a string of supernaturals knocking at her door. But she has more important things to do, like going back in time to sneak into her old boss’s home for information, which never goes smoothly. Meanwhile, she is determined to find a way to bring Pritkin back. She can’t leave him at the hands of his demon father but the one person that can help, is Pritkin himself. That shouldn’t be too much trouble for the Pythia, right?
It’s so long been Cassie Palmer novels that I must admit I’d forgotten about what happened to Pritkin at the end of Hunt the Moon. Please forgive me! I would suggest refreshing your memory by reading the last two chapters first if you’re a little hazy (or the whole book if you have time). Fans of Pritkin will be happy with this instalment as Mircea takes a backseat; indeed he is eerily absent from Vegas. Is it because he can sense Cassie’s loss of Pritkin or is it something else?
This world is like a warm, cosy blanket for me and I just fall into it every time. I love the characters and the mythology. Of course, I’m a huge Pritkin fan so this book was full of touching moments and nooooos and bad timing. If you prefer Mircea, you might hate it! They travel to a demon dimension which is so well imagined and so different to where you’d expect them to go. There’s loads more background given around Cassie’s parents and her ancestry. The kind which ties her to the gods of old. One of the best things about adding time travel in the mix, is it’s easier to fill in the history without info dumping.
All the time, they are still on the brink of war, and there are witches hanging round back at her suite. I have always enjoyed Cassie’s interactions with Mircea’s men; the vampire bodyguards have become her family of sorts. Cassanova also gets involved and there’s a hilarious and gripping flying carpet ride to look forward to. And. Oh. My. God. The ending! I really hope Karen doesn’t wait another two years to find out what happens next, it has set itself up for another fantastic book.

Daughter of Artemis travels through time and space to save prince of Hell and quell a civil war? Yes please. Also there's a small ghost army and a sassy coven.

This book just frustrated me. I did enjoy it bits of tempt the stars but it didn't feel like much happened and there was no character development from cassie- she spends so much time complaining that no one tells her what's going on but then she never bothers to ask anybody what's going on. Cassie doesn't really seem interested in helping herself, this has been going on for a while now but this book really seems to emphasise how little effort she's made to actually give herself a decent chance of managing on her own. She's made no attempt to train in anything other than her new powers despite being told quite a few books ago by pritkin that she's reasonably powerful and she's not done anything about going to see the pythia's court who probably have some idea what it means to be a pythia.
Spoiler
she does go to the pythia's court but only when she's forced into it, not because she realises that the place where the pythia's have trained for the last few millennia might be able to help herjules_writes's review against another edition

I enjoyed Tempt the Stars but I didn't love it. I think my overall enjoyment of the series pulled up the star rating.
My main complaints with the book was that there was no real story arc progression and the ending felt like it stopped mid story -I'm beginning to hate cliff-hanger non endings.
And Mircea was pretty much absent altogether, not that I minded he's not a favourite character of mine, but it again just left lots of plot strings unresolved.
To sum - Not the best book so far, but I'm still very much looking forward to the next one, I just hope that Karen Chance progresses Cassie's story more.
