Summary

After discovering her true identity and coming to terms with an unimaginable heritage, Della Doe Deare finally thinks she has things figured out. She is learning the ropes of both her human and non-human responsibilities; ones which will soon include leading an army and may one day mean ruling a people. As the sole person able to control all five elements, she will have the power to protect everyone that she loves - and destroy anything that threatens them. But first, she has to survive the Elfennol training.

When an enemy with a reputation for torture sets his murderous sights on Della, she must submerge herself further into the Elfennol world, explore the other half of her inheritance, and move toward a destiny too large for mortal shoulders.

But not everything is as it appears; not all Clades are her enemies, and the Elfennol aren’t as pure as they let on. When Della finds friendship - and protection - in the form of a troubled boy born on the wrong side of an endless war, she discovers that this new world operates only in shades of gray and the only difference between good and evil is which side you’re fighting for.

This is the second book in the Gathering Water trilogy, and should not be heard out of order.

Excellent book 2. Building on book one & running!

Della is such a great character. She's strong and damaged but overall she's moral and likeable. She's great. The book is brilliant in general but Della really does draw you in. That's not to say that the other characters aren't great. Her cousin, boyfriend and entire family are really cool and I like her developing relationship with her father. The possible connection she forms and also her enemies are all great characters. The only issue I had with this book is that it ended. It gives us a great cliffhanging ending but I wanted to jump into the next book so hurry up and get it for us!!! Very good. It's a relationship book that works really well and I loved that element, combined with great pace and some intrigue and action that works excellently. I'm looking forward to the next book after the first two being excellent!

The narration for the book really brings it to life. The pace of the story, the world its set in, the characters all come to life. Very good.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Tempering Earth

I really liked the first book which ended on a cliffhanger. Book two starts of where book one finished. It is not as good as book one, in that the character development felt unrealistic. I would have liked some complexity at least in the main character but I didn't see this. However, others might like this. This is for YA so they might enjoy it more.
