Changing Nature by April White
5.0
Changing Nature was another home run for author April White. This installment of The Immortal Descendants is action-packed, face paced, and comical. She never fails to entice her readers with her unique storylines and stellar characterization. In Changing Nature, April White brings back the beloved characters from the first book as well as adding some new characters to the mix. I think this is her best work yet.
What really sets April White apart from other authors is her ability to incorporate true events from history into her novels. It never ceases to amaze me the detail she puts into her stories, and this story is no exception. April White is able to beautifully blend the story of Joan of Arc into her novel, and while she did take some liberties, she did a phenomenal job of doing so. She managed to take a historical figure that I have always admired for her bravery, and turn her into a character that I couldn’t stand. I was not expecting to have a person from history that is usually looked upon in a good light to almost end up being so vile throughout the book, but April White did it. And she did it flawlessly.
As per usual, April White did an amazing job with all of her characters, I still love Saira, Archer, and Ringo, but the character that really floored me in this book was Connor. As the reader, I really got to see Connor come into his own in this book. He becomes so grown up for someone so young; seeing him develop into a young man was a nice touch on April’s part. I really grew to love Connor throughout reading this novel, and really hope to see more of him throughout the next book.
All in all, April White has done a phenomenal job on this book, and series as a whole. I love her reading her works so much, each one is more enticing than the next. They have everything a reader could want, great storyline, amazing characters, plot twists that come out of nowhere, and moments that tug at your heartstrings. I am definitely a lifelong fan of her work.
