Multiplying Storms by Erin R. FlynnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Stress Is Bad For Fairies Too
This is the 11th book in a continuing series. You need to read the preceding books in order to understand this one, starting with Book 1, Upended Life.
This is one of my favourite Erin R Flynn series, and I think I’m not alone in that. I don’t like academy books so much these days because I overdosed on them when they first became the ‘hot’ trope. This is one of the few series I’ve kept on reading and I think it’s because the academy part of the story is more the background than the main point, especially as it is as university the characters attend rather than a high school, and therefore the students are adults.
This book essentially deals with the incredible amounts of pressure placed on Tamsin’s shoulders. She has pressure from all sides as she tries to free more fairies and at the same time keep them hidden from the supes as they gain an understanding of the world they have woken up to after a 20-year nap in Fairy. The pressure she is under at school and from the councils is growing exponentially and at the same time, she is continuing to fight for equality and justice in both the supe and the human world.
Tamsin spends a lot of this book in tears. She is reaching breaking point, especially with how disappointed she is with the fairies, in particular the Elders and Ancients. As always she can’t be completely happy with all her lovers/mates. There is always one! Apart from the one causing problems her other lovers/mates have been supportive and loving and seem to have finally found a way to try and provide Tamsin with what she needs. She is also coming to a tentative truce with Neldor, aka The Prince of Darkness. I like that this author allows her characters to develop and change in both positive and negative ways. This happens in real life and whilst it is nice and tidy if a character’s emotions and behaviours develop in a straight line, in real life that line dips and soars as triumphs and tribulations affect who we are.
A lot happens in this book, apart from Tams being pushed to breaking point and we see a lot more of the fairies, meeting more individuals. This feels like an important book in the series and is definitely a turning point in the plot. I can’t wait to see what comes next, I’m sure it’s going to be good!
