by Pippa Jay (Author)
4.3 out of 5 stars 13 ratings
A seductive tyrant. A lost hero. And a galaxy about to fall... It's been a year in paradise for Keir and Quin, but now the idyll is over. After Quin falls sick, they return to the hidden sanctuary of Lyagnius, and what she learns there will not only change their lives, but set them on a journey that could separate them forever. When Keir falls victim to a ruthless Nercaandi Empress bent on conquering the galaxy with her cybernetic army, it will take all Quin's diminishing powers and the help of her son to find him. But what waits for her aboard the tyrant's ship will test her strength and the limits of their love, and put everything she cares about at risk. Including Keir. With the galaxy itself about to fall, will she be able to save him? Book Two of the Redemption series and part of the Travellers Universe.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Trademark Passion - Pippa does it again!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016

    An intense read. Spiraling storyline, many shocks, great narrative, and hard to put down. If you haven't read the first book, go do that now. This second book adds real flavour to the romance, and huge depth to the love between Keir and Quin. There are a lot of heart wrenching moments, some violent deaths, and the trademark passion of the author in this book. The end is a real twist. No spoilers here, just read it, smile happily when all seems done, and then have a moment of WTF as all hell breaks loose. Awesome work.

    No spoilers here, but a few of my thoughts. Keir's Fall is the follow-up to an amazing love story that spans the galaxy, and it doesn't disappoint. New characters, new enemies, new life problems - and once again, Pippa Jay catches the reader and leaves you on the edge of your seat until it's all over. Or is it? The story is intense, fast-paced, and satisfying.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A 300-year old woman and a blue man take on a twisted would-be Empress of the Galaxy
    Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2015
    Format: Kindle
    Did anyone else anticipate this book like I did? Awaiting Keir’s Fall is kind of like preparing for the release of The Force Awakens. I really looked forward to it because Keir (like the Star Wars franchise) is such an awesome book. The bar was set pretty darn high. But what if the sequel (or the new movie) it is no good? Would I survive the disappointment?

    I felt a combination of apprehension and excitement as I started reading Keir’s Fall. But soon, these feelings were swept aside by the story. I got caught up in the continuing saga of Quin and Keir. The couple got to enjoy a year of blissful peace after the events of Keir. Sadly, things will change for them.

    When the couple visits Quin’s son Gethyon, Nercaandian Empress Tyra-Lee attacks the planet, intent on total destruction. Keir is taken prisoner and catches the attention of the empress. She is an evil bitch, consumed with conquering all. But as she takes an interest in Keir, she gets a bit distracted. Keir’s battle to maintain his identity under the manipulative powers of the empress parallels Quin’s desperate attempt to find and rescue Keir. Each leg of this story has intense emotional content that will combine with a lot of action and some great secondary characters. This book was very hard to put down once I started it.

    Quin is three hundred years old. There were times when she came across as a younger woman. Much younger. She had none of the patience that a three hundred year old woman ought to have plenty of. And she was kind of whiny. It was difficult to find the strong confident woman that saved the blue demon in Keir. I blame her medical condition and desperate situation. But I can’t decide if I liked seeing this flaw in Quin, or if I would prefer to see more strength in her. Keir, on the other hand, while still full of self-doubt when it comes to being blue, has developed into a force to be reckoned with, even when the empress had him under her spell.

    So let’s talk about the Empress Tyra-Lee. Crazy? Twisted might be a better word. Evil? Do good people destroy inhabited planets? Beloved by her people? Not really. And therein lies the key to her motivation. Even a villain wants to be loved. This desire will drive Tyra-Lee to wreak havoc on planets and people. Now I see why Ms. Jay made the villain the main subject of the book cover. It is a bold move that bucks the trend. Or maybe it will start a new trend. Personally, in fiction, I really love ‘good’ villains. They can make or break the story and don’t get enough bad publicity!

    It will be up to Quin and Keir to keep Tyra-Lee from becoming Empress of the Galaxy. It is not easy and will put both of them in peril. In Keir’s Fall, both Quin and Keir get captured and both get to charge to the rescue one or more times. This equal opportunity rescuing is a theme that began in Keir and will surely continue with two strong and headstrong characters. And I would expect nothing less.

    So back to my thoughts of the first paragraph. Does Keir’s Fall stack up to Keir? Keir is awesome and it is so hard to beat awesome. If I had to rank the two books, Keir would be first. But Keir’s Fall is well worth picking up and losing a few hours to. It belongs on the shelf right next to Keir and if you enjoyed one, you are sure to enjoy the other.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, Great Second Entry
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2016
    Format: Kindle
    Like Book One of Redemption: Keir, I wrestled with fitting this into a specific category before finally admitting that I enjoyed a novel whose genre officially includes romance. Well, I enjoyed book two as well; more so perhaps because Keir and Quinn are now like friends, returned from a time away and I want the best for them.

    The Good: Author Pippa Jay takes advantage of her second entry to introduce characters that help ground Quinn to the world, and provide experiences to both Quinn and Keir that we as readers can relate to. At the risk of a very minor spoiler to those who have not read the first novel, we know that Quinn is not as young as she looks, and that she has a son who she mentioned in the first novel. We meet him, a grown man with his family, and it solidifies Quinn’s character in a way that only benefits her and her story from here on. It was great fun to have another character who had a real connection to Quinn, knew about her, accepted her and the actions that she had spent the first novel guilt-tripping over. That was satisfying.

    The villain in this entry was introduced as though borrowed from The Borg in Star Trek lore. Yet, they ended up much deeper than that, with a culture founded on women in an almost Amazonian hierarchy usually reserved for cultures ruled by men – that you are the ruler because you have bested all others, but that you can also be challenged at any time. They were very interesting, and the leaders’ ability to influence people – particularly men – made for interesting encounters that pushed the characters to their emotional limits. And yet…

    The Bad: My frustration with common romance themes persists, like that itch in your calf you can’t quite locate, despite scratching your entire leg raw – or does that only happen to me? With everything Keir and Quinn went through in the first entry, and to finally have had a year of peace to themselves – in addition to the life-changing knowledge they discover, they are bound, intertwined, and trusting. Or so I thought. Imagine my surprise when “The Betrayal” scene found in most romance novels and movies I’ve consumed occurs, and Quinn just dives into it completely. Gone is all of that trust and bond strengthening they spent so much time building. This may well be because I’m a man, but dammit, Quinn! Think! You too Keir, you don’t get off that easily.

    Like the first entry, this was a bit short for me. It seemed everything resolved before I was ready to say goodbye to that scene, that event, or those characters found within. It reads very fast, and while often I find that to the credit of a novel, I noticed it here as, if not unfortunate, not as satisfying as it could have been.

    The Conclusion: I am a fan. Keir and Quinn are my friends. I will miss them while waiting for the next entry to spring forth from Pippa Jay’s brain-space and onto my Kindle for my eye-holes to absorb. Despite any frustrations my beard and I have over romance story tropes, I was never bored – the pace saw to that, even if there was more room to breath than was utilized. While sex scenes are more prevalent in this entry than the last, they have specific purpose and are not dwelt upon for sex-scene’s-sake, but to further the motivations of all involved. I know that sentence reads strangely, but just roll with me on this one – it works.
