Review:

Absolutely Fantastic! Hot, Sexy and all together Spicy!

I have been on a binge audiobook listening adventure with this series. Ms. Day just keeps the excitement, suspense and romantic tales of the Warriors of Poseidon fresh and more compelling as the series evolves. I don't know why I waited so long to read these.

"Atlantis Redeemed" is by far my favorite of the series so far. Always in the background and unassuming, Brennan is the warrior that the other turn to for calm reasoning. A calm wrought from centuries of enduring an unimaginable curse.

In the previous installments of the series Brennan's interaction with his fellow warriors has been stilted by his inability to display or feel any emotions. Yet, his monotone speech belies the depth of centuries of suppressed emotions.

I guess youthful indiscretions and general over-indulgence are not the behavior of one of Poseidon's chosen. Well I have to admit the whole curse thing is the aspect of the story-line that makes it a stand-out addition to the series. Ms. Days depiction of Brennan's emotional upheavals; the torment and anguish, love and lust, duty and honor throughout the course of the book are brilliant.

If you love your heroines sassy and courageous then look no further. Tiernan is a joy in a sea of testosterone. Ms. Day delivers another strong well rounded female counterpart. She's gutsy, stubborn and not afraid to go toe to toe with her man, Colin, Ven and even Alaric when it comes to Brennan's well being and safety.

Overall this book does not disappoint! There is laughter, sorrow, tears and joy to be experienced. Looking forward to "Atlantis Betrayed"

I like this series, The Warriors of Poseidon, as one can tell by my rating of the earlier books. They are entertaining, have a good romance usually, and a good story that furthers the overall story. The problem with this addition to the series is that it wasn't up to the others.

It was just an OK and parts of it were outright maddening/bad. The two main characters lacked real chemistry and their love/trust of each other seemed forced and rushed. It was a very simplistic story line compared to the other books, trying to research and shut down the experimental laboratories.

These further complaints have some spoilers.


Tiernan, the heroine, is all ready to go into battle, yet when she is attacked and kills someone, she has a freakout. Then show more she whines over and over about killing, even when there are more pressing matters, and it was self-defense, and it was an "accident". Still she whines over and over about it. She gets in the way during the battle and is only a liability, argh.

Brennan, now here we really could get an interesting character but instead, self blame for something he was overly punished for. Tiernan points this out but it still gets harped on again and again. I understand vengeful God but... get mad, not self loathing for choices you didn't even make.

OK what made me truly not like this book was the non-ability to fight in situations, letting yourself get captured, and then not being able to break free, even when they are torturing your mate or himself. Then after being tortured, having her tortured, he suddenly has the ability to fight because she gets touched? Really? Then they get waylaid again, and he lets them take her, not for rape in front of him, but torture and death in the chair and he does nothing because??? He thinks they are not going to kill her? They already proved that death by a bullet would be preferable.

Oh, and the 2nd time caught, why didn't he just kill the guy and the vamp out-right. Because they were going to hurt Tiernan, they were going to do that anyway and already had. Also they are lost in the maze and just happen upon these 2 people? They weren't even looking for them and didn't know they were free, it was just dumb luck, and he couldn't do squat again? Argh!

Sorry this might have furthered the story slightly, especially for Daniel but it is not worth reading. I would skip it and go to the next one. Christophe's story, the next one, is great, GREAT. Read a synopsis of this one.

I got through it and didn't hate it altogether, I just didn't like it and there were definitely parts that I disliked greatly. show less

Cursed by Poseidon to experience no emotions until he meets his soul mate, only to forget her the moment his attention diverts, Atlantean Warrior Brennan still teams up with journalist Tiernan to rout a villain who’s discovered the secret of mind control. Not only does he have to fight the vamps and shapeshifters turned by the evil man but he also must battle the influx of feelings long suppressed when Tiernan awakens his passions. But the curse states that she must die before he can fully remember her. Can he defeat death along with his enemy in time to save the love of his life? This further installment in Alyssa Day’s Warriors of Poseidon series is as enthralling as the rest.
