REVIEWS :I like it cause I wrote it. =) Oh, oh, oh! I just have one thing to say about this novel, wow.This one was sooo much better than the first (and the first was amazing), and if I had any questions or doubts or misgivings about this series, they were completely destroyed by Quest.First off, Kishan. Most bad-boys in novels always stay aloof, and I know that they are supposed to be irritating like that, but most YA novels have crossed the line, heck, practically leaped over it, and have annoyed me soo much that I've just wanted to EDIT 10/6/14: SINCE THIS REVIEW HAS GOTTEN OVER 50 LIKES I DECIDED TO PUT A DISCLAIMER AT THE BEGINNING AS WELL AS THE END. BECAUSE, YES, I AM THAT GOOD OF A PERSON. SO HERE IS THE DISCLAIMER: This review is the opinion of ME and therefore you have to agree with it or you die you can disagree or agree as you like. Know that I hold no personal animosity towards the author, I simply did not like her books. Thank you.**************Yes, I realize I am in the minority of people who hate this book. 0.5 star, there's no way in hell I'll give this book more.Take my words, Colleen Houck totally fails as an 'author', she offers us nothing bout cardboard cutout characters, empty headed heroine who seems to have no thought of her own, uninteresting and unrealistic dreamboat love interests, supporting character (Mr. Kadam) who's only there for the inform dump and being an all-knowing, all-useful plot device. Beside all these, we also get a silly, painful-to-look-at love triangle--when one of the Here is my review:No, no, no.YES! YESSSSS! Finally, YES!NO, NO, NO, NO.NOOOOOOOO! This cannot be happening. NOOOOOOOOOOOO! NO NO NO NO NO!The End.Slam the book shut.November is WAY too far away.(and that really is my review because saying much more would give it all away. Oh, and I'm still a bit worked up.) So incredibly heartbreaking. I don’t know if I’ve ever cried so much while reading a book. The ending just.. It broke my heart and trampled on it. Why?! Why did it have to happen? I hate it when authors do this to us readers. But, I can’t help but respect and love Colleen Houck for creating such an emotional ending. It’s books like this that I love utterly, books with real, endearing characters that latch onto my heart so securely and refuse to leave, no matter how well the writing is, or how I loved this book, maybe more than the first. The second book starts when Kelsey goes back to Oregon. She is heart broken but still feels that she should separate herself from Ren. This reprieve soon comes to an end when she has to back to India yet again on another journey. When they set off though, they are attacked and separated. Kelsey has to continue her journey with Kishan and throughout the months that follow, she and him form a deeper bond. They are hoping to continue to find the second This book is no better than the first. Kelsey is still an annoying teenager who talks like an eighty-year-old grandmother's version of teenagers. The stilted romance is still ever present complete with love triangles. Myths are thrown into a blender and mangled and Kelsey retrieves another mystical object meant to help all of India but uses it for her own selfish reasons. This review may contain spoilers. The Characters:KelseyIn spite of declaring that she's being witty or sarcastic most of what I HATED THE ENDING. IT MADE ME CRY BECAUSE REN FORGOT ABOUT HER, WHICH I SUSPECTED WAS DURGA'S DOING.... THE BEGINNING WAS REALLY GOOD, THOUGH. AND THEN, IT WAS KISHANS TIME TO SHINE. WHEN REN GETS CAPTURED KELSEY AND HIM, ARE FORCED TO CONTINUE THE SEARCH FOR THE GIFTS WITHOUT REN. KISHAN FALLS FOR KELSEY AND IS ALWAYS BEGGING FOR KELSEY TO BE WITH HIM AND TO BE WITH HIM INSTEAD OF REN. KELSEY SOMEWHAT FALLS FOR KISHAN TOO, THROUGH OUT THIS EPIC ADVENTURE. I LOVED THIS BOOK BUT THE ENDING WAS I liked Tiger's Curse, but I LOVED Tiger's Quest. I initially gave this book four stars, but I'm upping it to five because I cannot stop thinking about it. As soon as I turned the last page, I preordered Tiger's Voyage because I am in desperate need of a resolution for that cliffhanger!Colleen Houck is a storyteller. The writing is not perfect, but I am willing to overlook the flaws because the characters are so compelling, the romance so sizzling, and the quest so epic. Reading this book evoked NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!It ended.Wait...wait...what's this...?The Acknowledgements page?! *squints* What?! Are we just leaving it with HEARTBREAK AND DESPAIR? Does this mean I now have to scramble around to find the next book before I die of emotions?Yes. So off I go. *BEWARE.......SOME SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!*I have no idea where to begin. This sequel to the outstanding Tiger's saga, was absolutely riveting and emotional. I am still trying to wrap my brain around the events that unfolded at the end of this book!!! I can totally understand what the hype was all about for these books. They truly speak to the heart. I live Tiger's, breathe Tiger's, fantasize Tiger's.....it's crazy!! I haven't felt this way about a series since The Hunger Games and before that was LOVED this book, it was soooo goood! Everything I had hoped for and more, wrapped up in a beautiful, well done package. Tiger's Quest picks up were we left off. Kelsey is back in the states and off to college, and completely heartbroken over leaving Ren. Which she should be what was she thinking. I see her reasoning, but still... I am not going to be able to tell much of the plot in this story for fear of ruining it for you. Sufficed to say that once again Mrs. Houck takes us on an amazing I am lucky to have received an ARC copy of Tiger's Quest. I was simply giddy when I got it in the mail. I even did a little happy dance. You see, I have become obsessed with the Tiger series all over again. (I actually read the first two books in the series when Colleen was self published) I just love these books. It is going to take a awhile to get them out of my system.Tiger's Quest will be take you on an emotional roller coaster ride as Kelsey, Ren and Kishan's adventure continues to break.
