Editorial Reviews

Review

"Book 2 did NOT disappoint! I read it in just a few short hours and now I'm very angry with myself for not slowing down." ~ Shannon-Goodreads Member Review 

"Wow - just as brilliant as the first book, and I am SO HAPPY that this is the case. The book was just as thrilling, mysterious, funny (most importantly because I would've hated for Jayne to change at all) with more twists and turns in the lives of the most brilliant characters. ~ Amazon.co.uk reviewer

Call To Arms was even BETTER than its predecessor, The Changelings. I had no idea that my weekend would include reading all 4 of these books in succession - normally I prefer to get to bed before the sunrises. But holy pixie, Ms. Casey deftly writes with a passion, clarity, and humor that consumes the mind and engages readers of any age.

*Some spoilers from previous book*

This book picks up directly where the last one left off- Tony having just made his decision to not become fae. Jayne misses him terribly, dealing with the loss of Tony's memory and what she feels is an insurmountable wall in their friendship.Through this, readers are able to see Jayne's vulnerability through more than her sarcasm, although don't worry,our Jayne is still our Jayne, lack of filter and all.

While Jayne is fighting what seems to be a losing battle to be Tony's BFF, she further develops her relationships with Spike, Chase, Becky and Finn - and even adds another sparkling character to her ever growing friend list - Mr. Tim the pixie. Ohhh man, do I love me some Tim! He is such a welcome addition to Casey's mis-mosh of characters and adds even more dimension to an already versatile and intriguing cast.

And then, there is Maggie the witch. Maggie's grouchy crazy-old-lady attitude made me uncomfortably happy...which may not make any sense until you read Call To Arms. Which you should...immediately!

Throughout the second installment of War of the Fae, we learn more about fae life and what kind of training is required for a Changeling. We also meet a sexy dark fae named Ben (yum!) who may be more than what he seems. This book had me laughing, yelling, crying, and everything in between.

Thank you so much Ms. Casey for restoring my faith in intelligent, moving, hilarious YA paranormal reads. *hug* Now on to the third...

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Follow Up March 11, 2012

So far I've really enjoyed this series. In this book we learn more about the Fae world get to see a little more of what Jayne is capable of. I still really like Jayne and her character seems to have grown up in this book. She's still funny as ever though! Although there is a little romantic tension, the story is more about Jayne and her friendships and strengths than about romance. The new characters are intriguing and I'm looking forward to finding out more about Ben in the next book. I'd also really like to learn more about Tim and the pixie culture. The author has created a very interesting world that is different from many other books out there. Once again, there is a lot of swearing in this book. I don't find it offensive (it's totally in Jayne's character), but some might.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Read May 16, 2012

Another wonderful book by Elle Casey! I just love this series, and I can't wait to find out what happens next!
In this book a lot of answers are given to the questions I had from the first book, but by the end I had even more questions to ask (makes me want to read the third one even more).
Jayne spends a good deal of time training in this book, trying to hone her abilities and figure out her place in her new life. And, yes, she is still the snarky, potty-mouthed girl I came to love in the first book. Her bravery/bravado and humor is something that I love in a heroine, and she's got it in spades! I found myself laughing and smiling at her antics throughout the book, and wondering just what she was going to do next.
I really enjoyed seeing how Finn, Becky, Spike, & Chase were doing, and how they were adapting to their new lives as well. I also loved the new addition of Tim, because he provides even more comedy to the already amusing dialog.
Anyways, it was a great book, looking forward to getting the next one!
