Absorbing Inevitability by Erin R. FlynnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
No One Is Listening
This is the 13th book in a continuing series, which means you won’t understand the story unless you’ve read the preceding books first. The book ends at a natural break in the narrative but it’s still one heck of a cliffhanger!
Tamsin is now 21 years old and for the last two years, she has spent practically every day working towards doing things for other people. As she’s freed more fairies life hasn’t got easier, in some ways, it’s more pressure. In other ways, things have got more simple because she doesn’t have to hide who she is, and has support for taking care of some of the problematic supernaturals.
The ordinary fairies are supportive, on the whole, but they are not who she is around all the time. She’s around The Elite, The Ancients and The Guardians and they are not listening to her when she says that she needs an element of freedom. They aren’t listening when she asks for help, no matter how hard she cries.
This is a difficult book to read because Tamsin is basically being triggered and traumatised all the way through the book. She’s emotional and struggling and she is only getting the support she needs from a few limited places. It’s more support than she has had before, but she’s having to deal with more than she ever thought possible. She’s overwhelmed and can’t see things changing.
It also seems like she can’t catch a break with her mates. She never has all the people who claim to love her in a good place with her. They nearly always hurt her and it seems like she’s the one who always has to forgive.
I really enjoyed this book but I felt like I’d been put through the wringer afterwards. No wonder Tamsin needs a break because I certainly do! I just wish the book hadn’t ended on such a cliffhanger. It’s going to drive me nuts having to wait for the next book in the series.
