Changing Vision by Julie E. Czerneda
4.0
Czerneda, Julia. Changing Vision. Web Shifters No. 2. DAW, 2000.
This second installment of Web Shifters deepens and continues the development of characters of Es and Paul introduced in Beholder’s Eye, but it does not have the dramatic tension of the earlier book. Both are now are more mature, so there is not so much self-discovery. We want to know how far the alien-human relationship can be developed and we want to know if our protagonists will stay together, but the answers to those questions are not hard to come by early. The first novel could stand alone, but this one can’t—we are just waiting for whatever conclusions the third volume will bring us. The strength of No. 2 is the same as in No. 1—Czerneda’s well-thought out alien lifeforms.
