Book Review: I want more!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yasmine Galenorn has developed a fascinating world-no scratch that. She's developed two fascinating worlds... Earth and Y'Elestrial.
Earth is one that we'd recognize... almost. The Other World inhabitants have come through the looking glass and moved in with a vengeance. Anything that fantasy has ever offered... the fey, vampires, witches, dragons, were-creatures they're all here and people are dealing with it as well or as poorly as most of us. Which means that some people are fans, some people protest and it seems like the great majority take it in stride and get on with their lives. On Earth are three women-half fey, half human. One's a witch, one's a were-kitty and one is a vampire. The three find themselves on the battlelines between demons and earth. They have a handful of allies, their own wits and a whole lot of trouble coming at them.
Changeling pits the three sisters-told in first person from the were-kittys point of view-in a battle against an evil tribe of shapeshifters. The evil shapeshifters are aided by demons-the sisters have to find allies of their own. Delilah is also coping with her love life... she's involved with a human cop but he might just not be enough for her.
I loved the book. The world is fascinating and the sisters are charming. But in a way the story is too small for the world. We hear about what is happening on Y'Elestrial (think Middle Earth + Celtic Mythology) but we don't get to experience it. Camille (Witchling's star) is in love with Trillian (think of a Dark Elf-sort of) who is a double agent popping backwards and forwards bringing tidbits of information with him along the way. I WANT to go on his journey too. I want to see what their father, back on Y'Elestrial is going through. Heck-while I'm at it I want to ride on the back of the dragon as well.
Yasmine Galenorn has built a world that cries out for a real, Honest To God, epic fantasy. She's got the quest, the war, the complex political world, the character flaws and the heros. We could have something truly extraordinary- Epic Fantasy Meets Urban Fantasy. Instead she's chosen to give us a smaller, more intimate story, which she does with skill and heart. While I love the piece of the story that she's given us, I want the whole kit and caboodle.
One more thing-my review sounds like I'm doing a lot of complaining for a 5 star rating. Yasmine Galenorn has written a great book and I highly recommend it to everyone. It's just that I really think she could have given us an all time classic. The 10 on a scale of 1-5. A JRR Tolkien, Raymond Feist or T S White fantasy that changes your world just a little bit-forever. That's the book I'm hoping that someday I'll be able to read. Along the way I'll enjoy Witchling, Changeling, Darkling and anything else she chooses to write in this world.
Summary of Changeling (Sisters of the Moon, Book 2)
"The first in an engrossing new series, [Witchling was] a whimsical reminder of fantasy's importance in life" (Publishers Weekly). Now comes Changeling-again featuring Camille, the good witch, Menolly, the vampire, and Delilah, a feline shapeshifter. They're the D'Artigo sisters, half-human, half-Faerie supernatural agents who are now enlisted to find the fiends responsible for slaughtering the weres of Rainier Puma Pride.
