Book Review: Tiger's Destiny

Happy Monday! Today I'll be reviewing, Tiger's Destiny, the fourth book in The Tiger Saga by Colleen Houck. 


Title: Tiger's Destiny
Author: Colleen Houck
Original Publication Date: September 4, 2012
Format Read: ebook
Purchase: Amazon


Description from the publisher:
With three of the goddess Durga's quests behind them, only one prophecy now stands in the way of Kelsey, Ren, and Kishan breaking the tiger's curse. But the trio's greatest challenge awaits them: A life-endangering pursuit in search of Durga's final gift, the Rope of Fire, on the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. 

It's a race against time--and the evil sorcerer Lokesh--in this eagerly anticipated fourth volume in the bestselling Tiger's Curse series, which pits good against evil, tests the bonds of love and loyalty, and finally reveals the tigers' true destinies once and for all.

It only took me a couple of days to completely devour Tiger's Destiny. I enjoyed every minute of it. This book is one great adventure. Of course with the climatic conclusion (almost conclusion as there is a 5th book coming out) of any quartet there are great losses and sacrifices that come along with the prize. You will probably laugh, cry, smile, and be amazed at various times while reading this book. 

While Tiger's Voyage with the dragons is my favorite book in the series, this one comes in a very close second. You start off right where that last book left off, with Kelsey being taken by Lokesh. But don't fear, she is quickly rescued (obviously), so we can get on with the adventure of completing the fourth prophecy so Kelsey's Tiger's can become men 24 hours a day. 

This time the adventure takes them into a world of fire and heat to collect Durga's final gift, the Rope of Fire. And it is a strange world indeed filled with strange beings. They team must work quickly though, they must collect all of Durga's gifts and prepare to defeat Lokesh once and for all. 

Tiger's Destiny is pretty fast-paced. Almost too fast-paced in some parts. It seems like the characters just get to one part and then BAM! they are already done and onto something else. For instance, in the other books, like Tiger's Voyage, their journey to gather gather the item(s) needed to break the next part of the curse, takes up a good portion of the book. In this last book their journey into the fire world seemed relatively short in comparison. Although, I'm sure what else they could have done there. 

I would say the biggest portion (or at least it seemed that way when I was reading), was of our troops preparing for battle against Lokesh. Will they be able to defeat him? Will everyone survive? Will Kelsey still choose to be with Kishan?

If you enjoyed the rest of The Tiger Saga, you will enjoy this book. I am curious as to what the fifth book will be about, as pretty much everything gets wrapped up at the end of this book. 

My Rating:
