When the girls are forced to flee Earth to escape being the next target of a deranged Axsian fugitive, they end up getting much more than they bargained for. Their guardian, Kal, couldn't possibly have prepared them for the chaos and intrigue of his home world. Can Silver and Cassandra put aside their differences and work together to make it through alive? Find out in CHANGELING, Book Two of the Weaver Series.

I loved this book as much as I did the first one. It threw me off a bit at first, as the author changed which character was the 'I' in the story this time. The confusion only lasted a short while, and then I really enjoyed getting more of Silver's perspective this time around.
The story has moved locations, but the same elements are there. Intolerance, intrigue, romance, and great characters are still there. As with the first book, I devoured this one in one sitting. I really wanted to just keep reading and felt sad when I closed the book.
Vuan is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

I’m going to be honest and admit that I enjoyed this one more than the first. Whilst I did enjoy the first book I felt as though there was so much more to this one. The creation of a whole new world and species was especially interesting.
I’ll start in the best place, though – the beginning.
At the start I was somewhat disappointed to find that this book was written from Silver’s perspective. If the truth is to be known I never really came to enjoy her character in the first book – in fact, I found her an annoyance. That, however, soon changed throughout this book. At first things seemed a little bit disjointed due to seeing things from Silver’s perspective but once events really started to get going I came to realise just how much I enjoyed her character.
Although, there were many other characters I came to enjoy throughout. The cast has changed from the first book as we’re introduced to this alien world. The world itself is a wonderful creation but the characters go above and beyond. Instantly you come to love and hate characters, with things being tossed on their head throughout. The way in which the alien world works, and the way in which characters deal with these things, are especially interesting. Each of our new characters are unique and great to learn about – if I’m being honest, I enjoyed this alien cast more than the human cast in book one.
Not to say too much, but the changes that take place upon this world are great as well. I feel as though this book really moves us away from the usual young adult book clichés. There are still a handful of the cringe worthy overdone things in terms of romance but it is something I managed to overlook as the differences between the humans and the aliens came to light.
That being said, it was the romance which kind of… well, to be honest, left me feeling a bit freaked out at the end. I understand why the last part was put in – it did cause me slight amusement – but it felt like a step too far for me. I have nothing against intergalactic romance – if Star Trek is your thing then go for your little green men (I know they’re not all green and Paul-like, don’t worry, I’m not that naïve) – but I would have rather not known the final details.
Overall it is a solid addition to the series, leaving me more than happy to pick up the next.
As a final note I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me the chance to read this.

After reading Changeling and am honestly impressed with the differences from Chimera. This book is nearly and all around improvement over the first in the series. The side characters have significantly more depth and you feel far more involved in them. The plots in the book are far more sinister and diverse compared to the first book and you actually can find yourself trying to guess what might happen next. The romance is more involved and actually feels like a romance as opposed to just awkward teenage flirting. My only problem is that the characters from the first book pretty much disappear from the book. Maggie is the most involved in the story by far with James being mentioned occasionally, mostly in reference to the telepathic "get togethers" with Cass in the web. But Jerome and Kara are almost totally absent which is somewhat bothersome. I also would have like to see the author address exactly how a romance with two different guys is going to work since they share a body and the haven't seemed to address this with James yet. But all in all this is a very good book and a definite improvement over the first.

Changeling is the second book in the Weaver series and carries on from where Chimera left off. Cassandra and Silver are trapped in the same body, a chimera. This book is more from Silver's point of view. I found it a bit annoying to begin with as the character grated a bit in the first book. It quickly settled down though and she became a much more interesting character.
Here the girls have had to leave Earth and find themselves living in a very Alien World. The other characters seem to be more developed and there seem to be less grammatical and spelling errors so despite the more outlandishly sci-fi content I found that I was actually enjoying it more than the first.

I really liked the first book in the series and I was worried that with the complete change of setting and all the new characters I would struggle to enjoy it as much. When I realised they were going to another planet to live with aliens I did wonder if it would end up getting a bit silly, but it never did. It only took a few pages until I was completely hooked again. Cass and Silver are strong enough to carry the new story by themselves until you start to get to know the other characters. I enjoyed the fact that Silver played a bigger part in this story, and we got to know her a bit more. I did struggle to remember a lot of the aliens names because the were only 3 letters long, they just wouldn't stick for some reason. I really enjoyed this book, I guess even slightly more than the first, probably because I knew the characters better in this one. The books had quite adult themes, so I never felt like I was reading a book that was too young for me either, even though it's essencially about a young teenager.

I really liked the first book in the series but the change to another planet to live with aliens threw me off some. I do think the book is creative and for those who enjoy reading about other planets it would likely be an enjoyable read. I did receive this book via NetGalley for an honest review and I appreciate the opportunity to delve deeper in the series.

I'm not going to lie...I honestly did not think I would enjoy this book when I finished with Chimera. When I found out the girls were headed to an alien planet, all I could think was 'ugh, this is going to be so terrible and cheesy.' Well, color me wrong. I have read 3 out of the 4 books so far and this one is my favorite! Phoenix may change my mind, but for right now, this book is it! The world sounds so fascinating and I want to visit! I love how the girls took to adapting to their new world, as I imagine it would not be easy, and I myself would be terrified by these alien creatures and the way they are said to look. Which is what brings me to my next point...Mez. Lol, um, so, yeah. I don't want to spoil anything, but when you get to a certain point in the book, you will understand those 3 words, and why I laughed. Anyway, I do love how Kal's family warmed up to them and to him since he is not so warmly greeted. I know that Cass and Silver are tough cookies, but in an unknown world with aliens trying to kill you, it's a lot to take in on your own. Thankfully she has Kal's niece to hang and go to the baths with. At the end of this book, you can only begin to imagine what else could possibly happen in the next book!

I give it 3.5 stars. This book was harder to get into compared tot he first book. For me it took awhile to get use to the point of view of Silver and not Cass. After reading the whole book I understand now why it was done in Silver's point of view and it makes sense to have it that way. This book takes place on an Alien planet and continues the story from the first book. You really need to read the first book before you read this book, otherwise a lot of stuff won't make sense. It was interesting to see the authors take on Alien life but really it's not much different then ours. The book moves along quickly in that for a little while you are at a certain point for several days then it's six months later but that is okay because of how the story moves along. I will be interested to see how this progress back on Earth.

I practically got whiplash trying to figure out who was trying to kill Cass/ Silver and why throughout this book. My gosh, it was action damn near the whole time. This book was told from Silver's POV, which kept catching me off guard for the first few chapters, but it all led up to Silver having some romance in this book, so I'll let it slide. Silver bonded with an alien named Mez and it was disturbing cute. Disturbing because I kind of couldn't get over her age, but cute because they really cared for each other. I was really freaking pissed that the book kept hinting at sexual situations, but not delivering until....... the epilogue where you read about Mez having 5 penises ANDDDDDDDDDD SCENE!!! Like what the.... WHAT???? That's it?

This was a good sequel to Chimera. However, I don't feel that I enjoyed it quite as much. It was a really good book it just didn't quite match up to the first one.
Cass and Silver are twins.. who inhabit one body. This book was a little more about Silver as we get to see her find her soulmate in this book. Mez. Mez is great. Kal and Mez are two of my favorite characters along with Cass and Silver themselves and James and everyone of the main characters basically.
Really good book. I would 100% recommend this series to anyone. ANYONE.

Changeling is book two in the Weaver Series, but I think I liked it better than the first! Sure, there was the POV change between books that threw me off a little, but once I adjusted, I was in love with the plot, characters, and conflicts, just like with the first book! I've already read book 1 and 3 (I'm just late on posting my review), and now I just need to read book 4! Happy reading!

This was better than the first book for me, and I really enjoyed the first book, but I loved this one! It was just as unique as the first book, and I loved that the setting was among aliens, and the aliens homeland. The author did an excellent job of creating a really interesting alien world, and created a very vivid picture in my mind as I read. I liked that this book's main voice was Silver's; it's good to have more of her perspective on things, and I liked her involvement with Mez. I love all the side characters; they were interesting and had levels to his/her personalities. I still don't like the age of the main characters, but I just pushed that out of my head, so I really wouldn't have to think about it, and it helped increase my like for the story. I like that the main characters are still feisty and intelligent. I also didn't like the time jumps; sometimes it was months, and sometimes it was years, and I feel it would have been just better for the author to have the main characters be an appropriate age for things to occur, then to have the time jumps. I also don't like the view of the main characters on intimate relations; that it's just a bodily need, and that it wouldn't matter if someone you were in a relationship with was with someone else, I just thought that was odd; especially with how the character acts after. I feel like this is stepping into iffy territory. I still really enjoyed this book, and I'm looking forward to the next book!

I enjoyed the way Ms Murphrey pulled them from normal to something quite different.
You watch as they learn from all types of individuals, whether it is on Earth or on another planet.
She did not "gloss over" the planet. Instead, she draws you into a society that is different from ours. Giving you the harshness of it, as well as they nicer aspects.
I think this book is needed, because without it, the series would have fallen short.

This was better than the first book for me, and I really enjoyed the first book, but I loved this one! It was just as unique as the first book, and I loved that the setting was among aliens, and the aliens homeland. The author did an excellent job of creating a really interesting alien world, and created a very vivid picture in my mind as I read. I liked that this book's main voice was Silver's; it's good to have more of her perspective on things, and I liked her involvement with Mez. I love all the side characters; they were interesting and had levels to his/her personalities. I still don't like the age of the main characters, but I just pushed that out of my head, so I really wouldn't have to think about it, and it helped increase my like for the story. I like that the main characters are still feisty and intelligent. I also didn't like the time jumps; sometimes it was months, and sometimes it was years, and I feel it would have been just better for the author to have the main characters be an appropriate age for things to occur, then to have the time jumps. I also don't like the view of the main characters on intimate relations; that it's just a bodily need, and that it wouldn't matter if someone you were in a relationship with was with someone else, I just thought that was odd; especially with how the character acts after. I feel like this is stepping into iffy territory. I still really enjoyed this book, and I'm looking forward to the next book!

Excellent book. I really love YA books. They are written with teens and mind. I love the way the author gives a lot of action but the responses of the teenagers are good believable and not boring. Good sci fi

I enjoyed the way Ms Murphrey pulled them from normal to something quite different.
You watch as they learn from all types of individuals, whether it is on Earth or on another planet.
She did not "gloss over" the planet. Instead, she draws you into a society that is different from ours. Giving you the harshness of it, as well as they nicer aspects.
I think this book is needed, because without it, the series would have fallen short.
