Review: Reaching Answers (Artemis University Series Book 8) by Erin R Flynn

Reaching Answers by Erin R. Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fairy Mayhem

This books starts slowly and then ramps up the pace to the author’s usual top speed by the end. The slow start is to do with Tamsin’s love life and the mess that it is. I sometimes get whiplash with how things can turn so bad one minute and be so perfect the next chapter. Her character overacts sometimes and forgives too much at other times, which would drive me insane in real life, but it is probably in line with someone under the amount of pressure this character is under, not to mention her trauma from childhood.

The other thing that Tamsin flips around on is her confidence levels. One minute she is insanely confident to the point of knowing no fear in very dangerous situations, and the next minute she is incredibly insecure and thinks no one could possibly love her or even like her very much. These swings can be attributed to the same reason she has swings in her romantic life.

In this book Tamsin and her cohorts start ramping up the pressure on the Councils as they get more and more out of hand and extreme in the way they chase after Tamsin and blame her for stirring up trouble.

We also get to know more fairies, and find out more about their history and society. It’s interesting to see Tamsin start to interact with her own species and to see how her friends interact with them too, after hearing from them about the fairies they once knew.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens when the fairies are outed at last because it seems Tamsin is actually looking forward to it at long last. There also seems to be more to the work she needs to do than taking out a few corrupt individuals at the top. This book seemed to set up much more work for the fairies to do once they fully come back. Something tells me that the author really likes writing about Tamsin because she doesn’t seem to be anywhere close to wrapping up this series.
