The Calling
by Rachelle Dekker
After reading The Choosing, the first book in the Seer Trilogy, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the sequel. Now that I’ve devoured The Calling, I am in the same cycle of waiting for the third book to be released. Luckily, it’s coming out this fall!
The Calling does not quite pick up from where The Choosing left off, there is a time skip, although it works really well. We meet up with Remko and his now wife Carrington and a whole new, interesting cast of characters as they are faced with serious and all too often life threatening challenges. Meanwhile, the new Authority President Damien Gold has sinister plans for the city’s population and the Seers are in danger of more than just death. The themes of human nature, freedom, fear, and the power to overcome it are woven perfectly into the story. It was interesting to read how these concepts motivated some, but also held other characters in prisons of their own making.
This book felt very different from The Choosing, the stakes are raised much higher and tough questions are raised. I adored Remko in The Choosing, but I find him all the more interesting and developed in The Calling. We see so many sides of him, all ranges of his emotion. He is one of my favorites male protagonists because he makes real mistakes and is believable human.
There were a few things I didn’t see coming surrounding a specific character and I’m dying to know what’s going to happen in the next book because now I’m worried and feeling betrayed. I’m curious to know how everything will wrap up in the next book. All I know is that it’s going to be amazing. If you haven’t started this series, you need to.
