Cinnamon said: " I have had WITCHLING by Yasmine Galenorn sitting around for a while but for whatever reason I never found the time to sit down and read the entire book from start to finish. I read it in sections here and there, losing a bit of the story as I forgot I have had WITCHLING by Yasmine Galenorn sitting around for a while but for whatever reason I never found the time to sit down and read the entire book from start to finish. I read it in sections here and there, losing a bit of the story as I forgot what I had read in the last section. I’m sure many of us have experienced that and it isn’t fun. Well, last week I made the commitment to sit down and finish WITCHLING and I think I might have to go sit down and read it again.

WITCHLING was a fantastic book and already I’ve been searching around for Changeling, book two in the Sisters of the Moon series. What made the first book in the series so fantastic to me was the quirkiness of the characters, especially Camille. I love strong female characters, but I rarely choose favorites. Before WITCHLING I had 3 favorite female characters. Now I have four. Ms. Galenorn has written Camille in such a way as to make her relatable to the average female reader and yet she gave her that extra spicy little edge. Camille is funny, quirky, sexy and completely believable. If I could grab someone to go out and have coffee with, she would be up in the top five of my choices.

Combining fantasy with the modern world, Ms. Galenorn creates a compelling story full of complexity. Camille and her sisters are half Faerie, caught between two worlds and yet belonging to neither. Assigned to work on Earth, the sisters are supposed to keep an eye out for suspicious Otherworld activity. When some actually pops up, however, the sisters are unprepared to deal with the potential end-of-the-world crisis that they find themselves in the middle of. Problems back home mean that any sort of help may be slow in coming as well. With myths, legends, some attractive men, and powers that threaten to go haywire at any moment, these sisters must uncover the plot that threatens to destroy the world as they know it.

I have to give props to Ms. Galenorn for really considering every aspect of her story. So often I see books which seem almost under developed. The story is told and we get to know the main characters, but we never really learn the “full” story. In WITCHLING, I can tell that Ms. Galenorn puts a lot of work into fleshing out the story complete with subplots, twists and turns to keep the reader hooked, and side characters that help to pull the story forward. By the end of WITCHLING, I really felt that the story could easily be real. It became quite simple to imagine myself into the story, following the exploits of the D’Artigo sisters.

If I had to narrow it down to just a few things, I would say that my favorite aspects of WITCHLING were the fantastic plot and Camille. It’s hard not to love a great story and it is even more difficult not to fall in love with a wonderful character. Camille’s men aren’t too bad either! A dangerous dark lover, a delicious fox demon, and a mysterious white dragon do quite well in terms of getting the hormones and blood pumping.

I highly suggest WITCHLING. The story is action-packed, the characters are phenomenal, and the world incorporates the perfect amount of magic and modern. I’m fairly certain that any fans of Urban Fantasy or Romance will find something to love here.

Yasmine Galenorn is the author of the Sisters of the Moon series, the Chintz ‘n China series, the Bath and Body series, and the new Indigo Court series, the first of which is Night Myst - due out June 29, 2010. She also has various pieces of shorter fiction out and a few metaphysical nonfiction books out. ...more "
