A review by rainydaywriter217b2
Protector of the Flight by Robin D. Owens

4.0

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. :)
