I really enjoy this series. Even with the very clear pattern that MUST happen from book to book, I want to read it through to find out what happens next.

Ok...I really disliked Elizabeth. I like Bri though. The story was good and the wrting pretty good but she tried to cram way too much in this book. The main characters, each giving their own persective?! Waaaayy too much going on. If she had made this two books and actually explored some characters a little more it would be a stronger book. I still love the story arch though.

I really enjoyed this fourth book in the Summoning series. It’s my favorite of the five, and mostly for the interesting split to the narrative as we follow twin female protagonists as they are summoned into the fantasy world of Lladrana.

Bri and Elizabeth are pretty cute, in their relationship with each other, the ways they support and challenge each other, the differences between them. I really enjoyed reading about their relationship with each other and with the other Exotique (read: summoned from Earth) women, more than the sexual relationships in this installment.

There’s something really interesting about healers, and their capacity for giving of themselves. I of course resonated more with Bri than with Elizabeth—the New Age healer over the medical doctor. And the ending didn’t disappoint me, throwing wrenches into what I thought was coming for the end of the series, and laying the groundwork for the final battle that we know has to be coming.

If you’re this far into the series, there’s no way you’re going to stop now! Just one more book to go after this one, to round out a series that I enjoy returning to occasionally.

This is the most recent in the Llandrana series. It's a really great read. At times I wanted to smack Elizabeth (She was my least favorite twin), and I thought that the part with Raine was a bit rushed. Hopefully the last book in the series (coming in 2009) will finish her story along with that of the last Exotique!

Much better than the previous novels, although having two main Exotiques as the story flow became a little tedious, I would have preferred the straight narrative. Raine never seemed to get much of her own book, having to share this one and the next.
