The Shapeshifters: The Kiesha'ra of the Den of Shadows Review
This book actually comprises the five short books in this series, and it is very nice to have a series all in one place.In this world there are shapeshifters of various kinds and in a refreshing change from werewolves the major focus for most of the books is on the Serpiente (snake shapeshifters) and the Avians (bird shapeshifters). These two species of shapeshifter have been at war since time immemorial. In the first book, Hawksong, the heirs to each respective throne decide to wed in an attempt to create peace. The first two books focus on Danica and Zane and their efforts to unite their respective peoples. The third book's protagonist is Nicias, the son of two falcon exiles living among the avians. In this book we start to learn more of the secrets of the falcons, why they are so powerful compared with other shifters, and why they want to keep the avians and serpiente apart. The fourth book focuses on the wyvern Oliza, daughter of Danica and Zane and her struggle to make the best choices for her combined people. The final book follows Hai, a mongrel falcon/serpiente plagued by visions trying to save the avians and serpiente from the terrible future she has seen.
Each books' short length makes them quick to read and the pacing is well done with a nice mix of action and romance. The first book is the most romantic as Danica and Zane try to overcome their respective prejudices and different cultures in an intially purely political alliance and find love. The world building mostly focuses on the featured shapeshifters and their cultures, but is well done and an original take on the shapeshifter genre. The emotion in the books is well rendered and the main characters are generally likeable. Hal is probably the most difficult character in the books but the author manages to strike the right note so that she ends up as prickly and damaged rather than genuinely unlikeable. The choices the characters make are sometimes difficult ones and the books manage to avoid making everything too easy for them.
All in all I very much enjoyed these books and would recommend them to those that enjoy the lighter versions of fantasy, especially if combined with a bit of romance. They are quite short and don't have explicit sex scenes or bad language which is probably why they are classed as YA, but they're not restricted to this age group - I'm pretty sure I don't count as YA anymore. They are much more original and interesting than most YA paranormal books I've read.
