Book 2 of the Forest People series - The Choosing

Camryn Painter's powers come at a steep price. It's one thing to master her chameleon abilities in the ancient forest world she now calls home, but another to use her abilities wisely.

With the life or death of an entire civilization in her hands, Camryn must bond with a thunder dragon and join a battle she has little chance of winning...unless she can face down her own inner demons without destroying those she loves.

Continuing a great story

audio version. It strikes me that there doesn't seem to be a explanation for the stars that are given. So I thought I'd start giving my take on it.
1 horrible no redeeming qualities. So far I've never given a 1.
2 blah but there are redeeming qualities.
3 ok worth reading.
4 great but there's something off.
5 loved it.

So now about this story. A great continuation for a series.
I can't wait for more of this series, I want to say more about this story but I absolutely hate spoilers, so I won't do it to you by going into details. I wish we could give half stars I'd have given this a 1/2 stars.

This Audio book was given to me at my request from the publisher, author or narrator and I provided this unbiased voluntary review.

Holy cow, I couldn't put it down!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, so I was excited to listen to the second one. My only complaint is that I started this one in the evening and was so riveted by the story that I was up until I finished it around 3am. Then I couldn't sleep because it left off on a cliffhanger, and now I have to wait for the third book to come out on audio. I don't want to give anything away, so I will just say it picks up where it left off and the action just keeps going. I can't wait to read more in this series.

The narrator does a wonderful job with the acting, voices, inflection and pacing while she reads and it all really helps bring it to life.

There's no explicit sex scenes, language or graphic violence. This is a great book for Middle School to young adult ages, really anyone who loves a good fantasy.

Wonderful Book About Accepting Change

This book picks up where the first book leaves off. I have really enjoyed getting to know the main character Camryn better . I liked this book a little bit more than I did the first book. Both books are well written, and I feel that the author Maggie Lynch's storylines are getting stronger with each book. This is a book of learning to accept yourself, change, loss of someone close to you, and responsibility. The book does have some heavier topics such as the death of a loved one but the story is well developed and written in a way that you can enjoy even the darker topics. Camryn is starting to accept her new life but she needs to become more confident in herself. I look forward to seeing how her character develops in future books.

I listened to the audio version of this book. Narrator Rachel Jacobs does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. She uses great accents, timing, pace, and diction giving the listener a great experience with the book.

I was given a copy of this book in hopes I would provide an honest review. The opinions expressed here are my own and in no way have been influenced. I recommend this book to Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Young Adults Genre fans.

Will she be able to go back to the non-magic world

Camryn is learning to trust a few people she was weary of- she needs to if she’s to learn to control her powers.
There are things she still needs to find the answers to, and going back to the human world seems inevitable. Will she be able to control her change? Not all her friends will come out of the conflict unscathed. As the Chameleon, can she walk the middle ground between the magic peoples?

This is the second book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would definitely listen to another. I am loving this series. It is original and enticing. I love the world that has been created.

This is the second book I’ve listened to by this narrator and I would listen to another. She does really well expressing the emotion of the characters. Each has a distinct voice and is enjoyable to listen to.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.
