Calling The Change by Michelle Diener
4.0
I received an ARC in return for an honest review.
I really enjoyed the first book in the series and this one picks up right where it left off and jumps straight back into the action. As Garek & Taya are helping resettle everyone in their village the Sky Raiders appear and Garek leads them away in his captured sky ship. While he is leading the raiders on a merry chase around the planet Taya is kidnapped, this time by some of her fellow countrymen who want to trade her to a neighbouring liege who has heard about her unique power to call the shadow ore. Taya’s journey with her captors is not a pleasant one but she bides her time looking for the best chance to escape and she know that Garek will come for her. Afterall he found her on another planet. Garek is devastated that he has lost Taya again so soon after finding her again and sets off to find her. I really enjoyed his approach to the shifty liege and how he handled that. I also like how he basically tells the military to screw off he is going after Taya in HIS space ship and if they don’t like it that can get their own. I enjoy both Taya and Garek as characters. They are mature, sensible kick ass and completely devoted to one another. And their adventures were great to read about. I just would have liked them to spend less time separated by fate and more time working together because they are such an awesome team. I really hope the next book doesn’t have a repeat of the separated by fate and circumstance element as I want more of Taya & Garek together.
There are lots of political machinations in play, and disturbing revelations about the Sky Raiders targets. I hope we find out more about the mysterious Sky Raiders in the next book as we really don’t know much about them or why they need the ore. Am looking forward to finding out about the Iron Guard and seeing more of Adrian in the next (I hope) as he was mostly absent in this one.
