Wow. So, I'm a little speechless, not to mention baffled by how I can possibly explain this book without spoilers. I've been a fan of Ryals for a long while and have read all of her work. It is always emotional, surprising, thrilling, and just plain fantastic. But with Tempest, she's managed to outdo herself on all counts. We left Stone inMark of the Mage (The Scribes of Medeisia)with her prince (Kye), a band of rebels ready to give their life to free their people, and her growing connection to the forest and her magic. Tempest takes them on a journey to another kingdom as they try to overcome tyranny and restore the pendant to the dragons. The scenery is beautiful and deadly, and the plot unfolds without warning, taking the reader so deep into the story, you'll probably find yourself screaming at your Kindle or jumping on your furniture. And there may be some crying (which I won't admit to). It is the perfect fantasy, filled with contrasting story lines, romance, royalty, murder, magic, and dragons. If you enjoyed the first book at all, Tempest is a must. Five stars.
