Originally reviewed at Christa's Hooked on Books 
 Tempest is a fun, action packed time travelling novel. It sucks you in with almost immediate mystery and adventure and continues with a story that is layered and surprising. I love books with a fast pace and this definitely fit the bill. I also liked how the story kept me guessing. I was never completely sure what was going to happen next, or what new developments were going to reveal themselves. 
 The main appeal of this novel is that it centres around time travel. I've always loved books that involved time travel. I'm sure it's something we've all dreamed about doing at some point or another. The idea of going back and reliving (or changing) certain past events is definitely appealing! At times the details of how Jackson's time travel works can get a little confusing. It is the tragic flaw of time travel narratives. Working out the kinks of time travel is never perfect. 
 My one complaint is that I couldn't really connect with Jackson as a character. I just didn't feel like I could relate with him and his obsession with Holly. It was like nothing else mattered to him and it got old really quickly. But beyond Jackson I love the whole "Enemies of Time" angle and I can't wait to find out more about them and their motivations. 
 Finally, I feel like this needs to be stated, due to certain recent events. This book is not anti-woman/anti-feminists and doesn't depict all lesbians as man haters. Are there times where Jackson says/thinks some insensitive things? Yes. Is he a little immature? Definitely. But he's a teenage boy. Teenage boys (no offence guys!) have been known to be a little immature. This novel is in no way offensive, so if that was holding you back from picking this book up, please reconsider. The story is a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
