My Review
I have read all the books in this series and was happy to get to read a story about Rowen. Arabesque takes place about 12 years after Destined ended. I really enjoyed reading it and loved characters from the series and getting to meet new characters in this book.
Tamani and Laurel are living in California and are waiting
on their sprout to bloom. While getting
back from a trip to Avalon they find out that their niece Rowen, now a teenager
wants to come to California and live among humans. She is involved in ballet in Avalon but wants
to study ballet in the human realm.
I found myself laughing at and feeling for Rowen at the same
time. She has to learn about everything
in the human world. Not just what things
are called but also how everything is different from what she is used to in
Avalon. Rowen is a wonderful ballet
dancer and is quickly accepted into a prestigious ballet dance school in San
Francisco.
The book mainly focuses on Rowen at her ballet school. We get to meet some new characters from Rowen’s
school. I didn’t really like Megan at
first but as Rowen got to know more about her I came around to liking her
more. Mitchell who is Rowen’s dance
partner was a fun character and made me laugh at times. Shawn was a fun love interest for Rowen. I really like them together. We don’t get to see much of Laurel and just a
brief glimpse of Chelsea as the story is mainly about Rowen.
There is some other things that happen that could potentially
affect humans and the faeries in Avalon.
This is something that involves Tamani, Rowen, her friends and even
someone from Avalon that I was shocked to see.
I don’t want to give anything away so that is all I will say about
that. The last part of the book was the
most action packed and had some twists and turns. Overall a really good book that I enjoyed
reading. I wish there were more in this
series or even a spin off with Rowen as the main character.
