Changeling<\/em> (2007) Yasmine Galenorn<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>When I read Witchling<\/em>, the first book of the Sisters of the Moon series, I wasn’t impressed. I really liked the story, but the main character was obsessed with fashion and sex, and those are not my favorite themes.<\/p>\n

But the second book in the series was written from the point of view of the second sister, Delilah, who is not obsessed with fashion and clothing, so I decided to give the series another try. Especially after reading a novella published in the same world.<\/p>\n

Delilah is half human, half faerie like her sisters, but she is a changeling. Unlike some of the more famous shifters (who make appearances, including a kitsune), she’s a big fluffy tabby. However, she has other powers, some of which she hasn’t told even her sisters about. She is also a private investigator (her OIA cover) and it is in that capacity that trouble comes to the D’Artigo sisters.<\/p>\n

Did I like Changeling<\/em> better than Witching<\/em>? Yes. There was still a lot of sex (because the sisters are half fae and were raised in the Otherworld, their morals and values are very different from those of humans), but I was expecting it this time. <\/p>\n

As with the first book, I really enjoyed the story and the world building. I much preferred Delilah’s POV to Camille’s: Deliliah prefers jeans to high fashion (thank goodness) and as a private investigator (and changeling) her attitude is far more relaxed. <\/p>\n

What I also found interesting is that although there is an impending war in the Otherworld, that remains in the background of the story. Because they are on the periphery of events, we see how the upheaval affects them, but it is not the true heart of the story. It’s an unusual twist that I really like.<\/p>\n

Although the primary story arc is completed, the major story arcs remain open, and it doesn’t look like the major arc will be completed any time soon. Just keep that in mind.<\/p>\n

if you haven’t read the first book, there may be some bits you are missing if you start here. However, you should be able to pick up on things quickly enough.
