Tempest Revealed by Tracy Deebs
3.0
I have mixed feelings about Tempest Revealed. I mean, I liked it and all, and I've really liked the entire series, but I also didn't enjoy as much as I did the previous books in the series.
So, I'm going to start with the big battle between Tempest and Tiamat. I wanted more of a big battle and more conflict between them then what we got in Tempest Revealed. After reading it? My reaction was "that's it? where's the big battle?" I really was hoping for something more.
I'm not super-happy with Mark and Tempest as a couple, but I don't think I'd be happy with her and Kona either. The romance just got more irritating (to me) as the series went on. I know that Mark and Kona represent her life as a mermaid and her life as a human, but I just grew really tired of the competitiveness between them. I think I just feel like they bring out one side of Tempest, and that they'll never truly understand the other part of who Tempest really is.
So, Hailana dying, which leaves Tempest as merQueen...naturally, it happens when Tempest goes to visit her family, and I can't help but wonder what would have happened if she were with her (mermaid) people. I don't know that I particularly liked that she was with her family when Hailana died, mostly because I feel like she should have been taking care of the Tiamat stuff. Still, I liked that she tried to balance both the mermaid side and the human side.
Still, I did like Tempest Revealed, and that all of the loose ends were tied up. There is something about Tempest Revealed that kept me reading, and I couldn't wait to see how things turned out...even though I wasn't completely thrilled with how some things worked out.
Let's Rate It: I liked Tempest Revealed, and was glad that all of the loose ends were tied up. While I generally felt underwhelmed with Tempest Revealed, I liked that she did try to balance two very different worlds, and there's definitely something addicting about this series. Tempest Revealed gets 3 stars.
