*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 The Mortal Instruments! On this journey, there is so many discoveries the characters face. It is unbelievable. But this rollercoaster is one I would ride for the rest of my life. I felt so connected with Kelsey. She is such a brave, generous and kindhearted female. I truly love her like a friend. I don't blame her for falling for Kishan. I fell for him too, eventhough I am still Team Ren and always will be. Though I didn't give anything away about the ending of Curse. Most of you that have read it, already knows. So instead of reiterating the sad ending of Curse, I want to talk about the dynamic of the characters. They have each grown so much in Quest.

Kishan. Okay so I didn't like him in Curse. In fact, I almost hated him for betraying Ren the way he did. But (against my will) I fell for him almost as much as I did for Ren. He is a great guy and I do want him to find happiness. Just not with Kelsey. But he took some bad falls and such on this adventure. He sacrificed alot to keep her safe. The thing I did not like about Kishan was the fact that he KNEW Kelsey belonged to another and still pressured her to love him. I get he is lonely, but it was not fair to put Kelsey in that position. OMG I was so mad. Yes she has feelings for him. Any girl would. But she already gave her heart away and now has joined Kishan on a quest to save his brother (who by the way sacrificed himself to save them BOTH). So that is not the way he should repay him. Seriously, he needs to back off!! I like Kishan. I do, eventhough I told myself I wouldn't. But after spending so much time with him, I see he is actually a caring, sweet man trying to find his way. And I see he does love Kelsey. But she loves another, accept it.

Kelsey. She has grown so much as a girl. She showed us all how far she'd go to save her tiger. She went through Hell and never gave up. She fought a bear, birds, harrassed by the Sirens, almost died. She never gave up hope. I truly admire her strength and heart. There are so many heroines that stay the same throughout a series. But Kelsey has really shown her true spirit and capability to surpass any obstacle that came her way. Colleen did a fantastic job with her character!! I love her so much! I felt all the pain, grief, confusion, love, happiness(shortlived) that she felt. It breaks my heart that she hurt so much and was so close to death but I understood why she wouldn't give up. I think she is my absolute favorite female heroine from all books I've read. I love how she loves Ren so much. I mean, who wouldn't?

Mr Kadam. What do I say about him? I forgot to mention him in my review for Curse. Or at least to elaborate on him more. He is the sweetest, kindest man I have ever met. He is truly the definition of a teddy bear, one you wanna hug so tightly. I was so glad he and Kelsey became so close. His faith in Kelsey never faultered. OMG, the money he spent on her. The house, car, the college......hey could I get some of that fortune please?? I was sad when she left India, it became more her home. But he took such good care of her even from another country away. Although, I was sure it was Rens' idea and maybe even money) but now I can't remember.

That brings me to REN. Oh Ren how I love thee. Eventhough he wasn't in this book that much. He was still there, in her dreams, visions but most of all he was always in her heart. We did get to see their love and connection deepen, once Kelsey finally confessed her love for him. I don't know how anyone could dislike Ren. Honestly, he is the epitome of a Romeo. Learning poetry and singing while playing guitar for her, reading books. Omg when he wrote poems for her, I melted like a popsicle. Then he gets captured by Lokesh and I almost die. He sacrifices himself to keep his brother and Kells safe. Ahhhhhh, I wanted to throw my nook but thought better of it. There were so many sad moments but one of my favorite moments with these two lovebirds was when they were playing games with each other. We all knew they loved each other before they did. The guys Kelsey dated made me laugh. Artie, really?? I did like Li but that was only because he reminded me of Ren. OMG, the dating game was awesome! Ren was so jealous but he was such a gentleman. He never pressured her to pick him. He gave her space and she was the one that was upset about it. Serves her right. But they were so cute! I kept thinking "okay Kells confess your love for him already"!!! I did feel bad for Li a little. Anyway, there is nothing else to say about Ren except I love him truly, madly, deeply. Even after the ending.....because I know it's not his fault. But God I hope he gets his memory back quick before he looses Kelsey to Kishan!!!!

The ending........OMG, I sobbed!! It was so heartwrenching!!! Why Colleen, would you do this to your fans?? I still love you though! This book was better than Curse. I imagine Voyage will be better than Quest! I reccommend this book TO ALL!!!!!! I loved the history, cultures, the journey. ALL OF IT! It was the best adventure and I felt like I was there!! This series has my heart and has now taken first place above The Hunger Games and Mortal Instruments!! I didn't think they could be replaced, but Colleen has a way of outdoing everything!! So, everyone....PLEASE READ THIS SERIES!! You wont regret it, I promise!!
