Tempest of Wrath and Vengeance by Melissa K. Roehrich
5.0

So much emotional whiplash in this book. The highs were high and the lows were low.

A lost bond but not all was lost, I had a feeling this was going to be the outcome but it was still a gut punch.

Chapter 41 giveth and Chapter 43 taketh (iykyk). I knew that shoe was going to drop at some point, so I was preparing, but the how and the result…oof that hurt.

My only negative is that I wish there was more suffering and a real grovel from Theon in terms of Tessa’s revenge/vengeance. The ending of book 2 was satisfying but I needed a little bit more and was hoping for that in this book. Especially since Tessa ended up hurting a few others more instead of Theon in the long run. But that’s the messiness and chaos of it all I guess!things don’t always turn out the way they should. It’s inevitable that Tessa was going to make some mistakes and some wrong decisions that caused chaos and turmoil even for herself.

I will say how Theon acts in the end was certainly a turning point though. It’s probably more in line with Theon’s character anyway.

This book gave more Luka and I was living for it. I was team Luka since the beginning (“the fucking flip flops”) and I can’t imagine he won’t always be who I prefer. But I admit, I’m finally accepting of Theon. He finally gets his head out of his ass and opens his eyes to things and there are little moments here and there that endear him. But I think it’s worth saying again that it would have been nice and more satisfying for Tessa to have caused Theon to pay a little bit more for his actions in the previous books, book 1 especially.

I cannot wait for book 4 to see how this all concludes but I’m also sad that it means the series will end. I’m hoping we see them make appearances in another series like some of the LOD characters do in this.
