Changeling Eyes

by L.A. Catron

Five common Elements bind all of creation together; Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Life. But the Aesir Element, wielded by the Creator’s messengers, is the most beautiful and by far the deadliest.

When the human crown-princess, Lrill Kettenring, suddenly manifests the Aesir Element it slowly corrupts her. Her eyes change color, limbs elongate, ears grow pointed and the power arcs out in crushing waves of blue flame to demolish everything around her.

Feared, resented and mistaken for a hated Changeling, she flees to the Mage’s Keep. There, with the help of a Telchine Scholar Mage, reluctant Changeling prince, kind-hearted Gnome, and a seductive Water Elf, she works to control her powers and find a way to reclaim her throne… but the very nature of her power makes her a ticking time bomb... and the only one who could cure her has been ordained her enemy by an ancient foe Lrill doesn’t even know she has.

This is a new release of an edition originally published by Booktrope.

Enjoyed this book!

Life sometimes throws you for a loop, this was a wonderful story about Lrill and how she handled the changes in her life. An adventure full of magic, creatures, and family. Ready for the next one.

Finished the book in two days

I came across this while searching for "the next good read", and boy am I glad that I picked this one. It is well written and engaging as I often struggle to find books that are geared toward readers who are not in their teens. I agree that it is similar to Harry Potter (another series that I loved). I also enjoyed the dynamic between Lrill, Tyran, and Fen. Although I would have liked to read more about the conflict between Tyran and Fen. I felt that there were a few loose ends there. Nick the gnome reminded me of Sam's character from Lord of the Rings and I look forward to reading more about him in future books.

Good story

I enjoyed the premise of this book. The characters were fun and well developed.
It did seem a little rushed towards the end and had an poor ending.
All in all though, I'd recommend it. It could be the start of a series, lot's of different races to branch into, and further character development.

Can't put it down.

You won't want to stop reading this book. It's fascinating to try to follow the characters as they try to deal with the problems they experience.
