Description
"You'd think that being chief seer for the supernatural world would come with a few perks. But as Cassie Palmer has learned, being Pythia doesn't mean you don't have to do things the hard way. That's why she finds herself on a rescue mission skipping through time--even though she doesn't entirely understand her dimension-bending new power. Rescuing her friend John Pritkin should have been an in-and-out kind of deal, but with the near-immortal mage's soul lost in time, Cassie has to hunt for it through the ages--with Pritkin's demon dad in tow. He's the only one who can reverse Pritkin's curse, but with the guardians of the timeline dead set on stopping anyone from mucking about, Cassie will have to figure out how to get her friend back without ruffling too many feathers--or causing a world-ending paradox or two..."-- Page [4] of cover.… (more)

Omg so much happened throughout the book. Back and forth, bouncing between past and present conflicts, non stop.

It's been a while since I read book six, TEMPT THE STARS, so I had forgotten a few of the events that had happened and was a little confused when I started reading REAP THE WIND. I thankfully caught myself up on what was going on, but if you have the time you might want to do a quick re-read for a
I hate to admit it, but I wasn't overly crazy about the time traveling in REAP THE WIND. Most of it revolved around saving Pritkin and there was a LOT of it, but nothing seemed to be accomplished. It was however interesting getting to know Pritkin's dad Rosier. He was a lot more interesting than I thought he would be and he kinda grew on me. The time traveling that happened outside of saving Pritkin, did add on to the storyline of TEMPT THE STARS. I enjoyed watching Cassie learn more about the last Pythia.
I just don't know how I feel about the whole Mircea, Pritkin, Cassie triangle. Is it a triangle? Will it ever go one way or the other instead of keeping Cassie in the middle? What is going on? I just don't know who to root for anymore. Uggh.
The end made me want to pull out my hair. I hate that I have to wait until April 5th, 2016 to read the next book, RIDE THE STORM, and find out what will happen next. I have been waiting for Cassie to meet the person she meets at the end of the book since we as readers first found out about them. AHHH write Karen, write!

Ack! Yes, I enjoyed the read (well not the opening flubbing about in time travel interrupted by other Pythia and yet more bad guys that went on too long). If I didn't like the book while reading it, I'd have rated much lower for the simple fact it's pretty much all filler. A lot of recycled filler

Yes, okay, towards an end chapter she did seem to have toughened up a bit and gotten more aware with less patience for everyone using her. Which is kinda like the bits in the previous books.
Unlike some other reviewers, I wouldn't consider it a cliffhanger ending; just a "nothing" new sort of thing. Again, read like a filler with the big buildups anticlimactic or still to come. I'm not invested in any of her love/lust interests because I don't see any of them as good relationships. I'd be happier with the romance, though, if she took more control and either made an effort to get a healthier relationship with Micea or ditched it.
As a story, not worthy of 3 stars. As characters I enjoy reading about, what to know what happens next and written in a way that engages me ... *sigh* I know it's the 7th in the series but I was hoping to have moved past what the past couple of books have rambled on about.
With the exception of one character's parentage, I don't think there's even anything in this volume to put under a spoiler tag if anyone has read the past few books.

As much as I love this series, I find that an "adventure" scene that takes 20 plus pages is pushing it when the entire book seems filled with them. I love this series, don't get me wrong, but like someone else who reviewed this book said, it was two books ago when a major character went missing,
Like I said, I love this book, I laugh myself silly, and really feel for the characters.
The book reads
Action, Action, Laugh, Cassie ends up in her room filthy and tired, more action, more action, more laughs, a small bit of sexy-time, more laughs, more action, Cassie ends up home filthy and tired, politics are explained, people get angry, action, action, laugh, Cassie ends up home filthy, sexy time, plot moves forward....Final scene....CLIFFHANGER...
Damn these books that I can't stop reading, but really need to wait to let them progress..
Seriously, NOTHING GOT RESOLVED FROM TWO BOOKS AGO...this book's timeline beats 50-shades in that so much happens in such a short time period. The timeline from the first book to the end of this one is something like 4 months...

needed rescuing, an now needs rescuing again. There is no resolution of any of the plot points, going back 4 books. I need for this author to stop writing a long and drawn out action scenes as a replacement for plot. It's like overly sexed books where every few pages there is a lengthy sex scene and you find yourself skipping through them just to get on with the story....Like I said, I love this book, I laugh myself silly, and really feel for the characters.
