Not as good as the first book but good none the less. Her writing isn't amazing but I like the story. Sometimes the male interest bugs me but over all I liked the people over all. I liked Callie from the start actually but I feel like Owens could have done a better job exploring her. Good story and good characters, decent writing.

Book one featured a warrior archetype as the female lead, book two the academic. Book three of the Summoning series has a caregiver with a tender heart and a fiercely protective drive. Calli resonates with me less than Alexa, but more than Marian. She also has the awesome quality of being paired with and cherished by all the volarans—flying horses—in the world of Lladrana. Which is pretty cool. Spending time with flying horses in this novel is great, and helps flesh out the world more.
The romance arc in this third installment is different from the first two. Things happen a little more quickly, and we’re able to see more of the fallout of “how do we make this relationship thing work long-term” instead of the entire book being about getting to a point where the protagonist and her lover can make a commitment to each other. There were interesting conflicts in the relationships in this book, and threads that carry over from the first two books, and threads that you know will carry on to the next two books.
All in all, an excellent middle book to the series. If you’re enjoying the Summoning series so far, don’t stop here! The best is yet to come. :)

Another excellent one in the series! This one is a little slow in parts, but it's still a great read!

My least favourite of this series. Couldn't connect with the characters at all. The heroine bonds into a you-will-die-if-I-do with the hero right at the start so there was no tension at all. Bleh
