Things were not what they seemed, and what feels a bit like a cop-out was taken to avoid a mess that was built to be insurmountable.

Destined Storm was very much a continuation of Destined Fire, like the conclusion of a small two-parter contained inside a bigger series.

There were lots of brushes with death (again), lots of pain and suffering (again), lots of angst (again), lots of emotional turmoil (again)... You get the gist.

Now, I'm guessing a demonic (or arch-demonic) mommy dearest will get revealed? I liked this series better when we got one villain that had to be defeated per book.

On the positive side, these books are so short and SO fast-paced I have no time to get bored at any point!
