4.0 out of 5 stars
My daughter really enjoyed this second were-wolf book in the Changeling series,
By Keith Joseph (West Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 10 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Changeling: Dark Moon (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I bought this for my daughter [15] at the same time as the first book, Changling [discover the beast within]. Both books are based around a fourteen-year-old werewolf called Trey who, rather like any teenage boy, is getting stronger by the day. So I suppose it's a typical lycanthropic 'coming of age' story. Rather like most netherworld romps there's also vampires - here the good vamps get on well with the werewolves but the bad vamps certainly don't. So it's not the cool indifference of 'Twilight' or the open warfare of 'Underworld'. I can't really say much else about this sequel's plot though, as it would rather ruin it for those who haven't read the first book yet [and beware of plot-spoilers in other reviews, if thats important to you].
My daughter loved both 'Changeling' books, giving them 4*, but then she is vampire fan-atic, having all the seasons of Buffy, Angel, The Dresden Files & Blood Ties and a collection of vampire movies/books. She found these changeling books 'an nice easy light read, that you could easily put down and pick up again. It's not a compulsive must read the next bit, but the books are interesting none the less'. This second book doesn't have any hint of a finish, the finale being largely setting up of the storyline for the next book in the series 'Changeling: Blood Wolf' - whose title does actually hint at the plot. Needless to say my daughter has bought and read this third book, which was published here in February 2010. So this Changeling series is recommended for any teenager who rather likes the vampire/werewolf genre.

This review is from: Changeling: Dark Moon (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Lucien Charron is in a magical coma following his battle with his brother Caliban in CHANGELING. Only Mynor's Globe can cure him, but the Globe is held by Alexa's mother, Gwendolin, a sorceress consumed by black magic who lives with Caliban in the Tower of Leroth - a castle that moves between dimensions and can appear anywhere in the world.
Locating the castle is only the beginning of Trey's problems though when he, Alex and Tom are joined by Charles, an arrogant young magician who once dated Alexa. While they work on their plans, a mole within Lucien's organisation is reporting everything they do back to Caliban who is trying to revive the Draugr (undead creatures with superhuman strength and a grudge against humans) as part of his bid for world domination. With time running out, Trey and his friends launch a desperate assault on Caliban's stronghold, encountering battle angels, demons and evil magic that could destroy them all. This fast-paced sequel picks up a few weeks after the events in CHANGELING. Trey is more comfortable with his powers but remains uncomfortably attracted to Alexa (who tantalisingly may have feelings for him). Charles is an interesting addition to the mix - arrogant but powerful he and Trey form a grudging friendship, which Feasey instils with humorous banter. Tom is given more of a role here and his love of guns and gruff charm is a nice counterpoint to the dark themes in the material. The book favours action over character development, which is a shame as it means that Alexa's feelings about having to face the mother who abandoned her as a baby are brushed aside. However, Trey is beginning to become more rounded and there's some nice scenes where he unwillingly agrees to go shooting with Tom. The best scenes are those featuring a Necrotoph (a parasitic demon that takes over human hosts). There's a chilling detachment to the writing, which really works to ramp up the tension and Feasey is refreshingly unsentimental when it comes to describing how the Necrotoph despatches of hosts that have outlived their usefulness. The battle angel that Trey encounters is also a frightening character with great potential to reappear later in the series. Unfortunately the book ends on another cliffhanger which offers an intriguing premise for the next in this fun series, but which also makes for a frustrated wait for loyal fans.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic,
This review is from: Changeling: Dark Moon (Paperback)
Brilliant second book by Feasey, a real page-turner. High tempo and exciting adventures, this book seems to be very hard to put down. Utterly captivating!
