Krista has brought the Bethany I love and enjoy back. This Bethany is fun, mouthy, and ready to kick arse. This story also works as a transition to the next series and adventures in this world. A whole new story is to come our way!
****FULL REVIEW****
*I received this book from the author for my enjoyment, as I requested and love this series.
After over a year of dishonorable respect at Wyllow, Bethany and Lendra are on their way to return to Taftlin. She could feel the Elves were shifting in power and someone would make a move soon. On their travels an attempt on Bethany's life is made, and she uncovers a plot to assassinate King Arrago and Prince Henry. Bethany turns to the few people that are still loyal to her along with her new allies in the North to keep everyone safe.
We start with a year of letters that makes us worry of what's happening in Wyllow, where Bethany has been to talk to the Council of the war and what happened to their beloved Goddess, Apexia. These letters get us worrying and set the stage for what's to come. Things have not gone well in this year for Bethany, along with her dearest friends. The Elfin Council has made their own decisions on rumors and events while Bethany and others had fought wars. Something is stirring as they try to discredit Bethany, and the enemy she made in Lord Jud seems to be involved.
Bethany is back!!
This is the Bethany I love. She's fun, mouthy, and ready to kick arse. The old Bethany. Her rough jokes, erm desires? to break legs. lol. She does not back down. She's come up with nicknames for people and she is quick lipped when she is pushed. She is quick to action when she spots things unfolding around her. Poor Arrago, but he loves her and goes with the flow knowing exactly how Bethany is, and loving her for it. Arrago...wow, he's had to stay at his throne and try to keep going with the letters about what was happening in Wyllow. Strong man. But, he'd have to be strong and relaxed at the same time to be with Bethany. Which he is. Arrago has made changes in Taftlin in his short time as king, and some people are not happy.
We get what we want with Bethany and Arrago, but they have to work for it. There is always trouble brewing somewhere, and this time it's aimed at them.
We see more Myra with Bethany. She has become a wonderful character. She's got her own zest and personalty that brings a smile to me. She's taken some lessons from Bethany. lol.
We don't get to see Jovan or Erem in this story. We hear about them... Jovan is safe and laying low. Erem is... well, we don't know. No one knows. That's where this book ends and readies us for the next series involving these new powers.
No one knows of the grace that Bethany, Erem, Jovan, Kiner, and Arrago have received. Even Lendra too. But at the end of this story, we see it start to manifest and what can be done. Cool! This story also works as a transition to the next series and adventures in this world. A whole new story is to come our way!
For this, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT SERIES WITH THEM!!
Krista has brought fun to the characters in a plot to assassinate the king and the strong knight. I enjoy this blend so much.

Fury is my favorite story in the series but I like the little touches in this one.

After reading the entire Tranquility series now, I can say I'm glad Krista's got more Bethany stories in her. She's a fun character with a fun cast and this little short and sweet plot made for the perfect transition from the end of Fury into the next era.

A grand continuation
My Mother taught me to read before I started school. When I was young I read all the classics for young boys. Twenty Thousand Leagues...Tom Sawyer, Kidnapped, and on and such. I love to read because of her making sure if a boy was supposed to read it I had it. Through my life I have wandered through the genres. Historic, biography, SciFi, fantasy, etc... I find myself back at fantasy again. I do believe Krista Ball may very well become along side some real giants in literature.
This as the beginning of the second part of a wonderful story. If you read the other three, don't be worried about this being up to par. It is a great story and continuation of Bethany's story.
Thank you Krista!

Even success has consequences. The beloved characters first introduced in Tranquility's Blaze, Grief, and Fury continue their journey against all odds.
