As seen on The Readventurer

How do I put it gently? It is time for Kelley Armstrong to stop writing the same story. This cow, unfortunately, is almost dry.

I know, it sounds mean, but even though I mostly enjoyed the process of reading The Calling OK, this book is pretty much the same thing as The Summoning, The Awakening, The Reckoning, The Gathering, plus a couple of short stories relating to this whole Darkest Powers series. ALL of these stories have exactly the same plot. I do not even need to...more

Since then, her Darkest Powers Trilogy has also been added to my favorites, and even though I don't love this trilogy quite as much, it's still filled with the Kelley awesomeness that I live for! The Calling, the second installment in the Darkness Rising trilogy, continues immediately where we left off; it starts at a full speed that does not ease up until the end, where we're left with a lot of anxiety, and a promise of an exciting finale.

The Calling is a full length high speed chase. In the wilderness, Maya and her friends are desperate to go home, or at the very least, to survive. It's an adrenaline filled sequel with a lot of speculating and great character building, although not an incredible amount of plot development. This is not altogether a bad thing, though, as I feel we did get a lot of important discoveries that brings the characters up to par for an epic showdown in the third and final book. As in The Gathering, the last part of the story is where we get the brunt of the plot's advancement, which leaves us with with an ending that is filled with uncertainty, in addition to having us wildly theorizing what's to come.

What I love the most about Kelley's books is that they're all interconnected. Being a sister series to Darkest Powers, there is mention of our well beloved characters from the latter, as well as it having essentially the same conspiracies that came to affect their bizarre lives. With Kelley's ability to craft real, in depth characters, it always gives me a sense of nostalgia knowing the people I previously grew to love and adore in her books are still around while this is all happening. In The Calling, we not only know these people are out there, but we get a glimpse at how they're all going to come together. This makes me incredibly enthusiastic for the final book of the series. I think it's going to be all kinds of awesome!

If you're new to this series, I highly recommend you start it already! Especially if you enjoyed Kelley Armstrong's Darkest Powers Trilogy. As usual, you can expect to be entertained to your full potential with this newest installment.

Second disappointing installment in series

After narrowly escaping a suspicious forest fire that threatened to destroy their island home, Maya, Daniel, and their friends find themselves in even more danger as their rescue helicopter crashes and they’re left to survive and outwit their pursuers in a remote wilderness. As their potential captors get closer, Maya must struggle to decide whom to trust and what to believe about herself and her friends. Strange rumblings start to surface as others in the group begin to learn about their own special powers and as Maya learns more about what may have really happened when her best friend drowned a year before.

I went into reading The Calling with some anxiety because I didn’t enjoy the first book in this series, The Gathering. Sadly, my unease was warranted. Unlike Armstrong’s first young adult series (Darkest Powers), I just can't get into this trilogy or feel attached to any of the characters, even now after reading the second book. Most notably, this book (and this trilogy in general) feels like a rehashing of the author’s previous books. With the repetition of the same plot points (run, be captured, escape, then repeat) and the same world of the St. Clouds and the Cabals, I’m just not intrigued anymore. The idea of genetically-modified supernaturals and a conspiracy-laced research firm was exciting in her first few books, but it now feels overused and uninspired.

Because so much of the book is action-focused, little character development also occurs, and when it does, it seems superficial. I was also bothered by the author’s clumsy attempt to include a gay/lesbian character; though it seemed well-intentioned, the characterization only served to reinforce stereotypes. The story doesn’t take any real risks with the plot, the characters, or any of the potential (and likely) bad outcomes that would result in a situation like this. When villains appear, they are too easily foiled or appear from nowhere for the purpose of simply creating another action scene. Finally, as the book closes, it ends on a cliffhanger with little resolution. Armstrong has explained that her trilogies are meant as one plot line across three books, but it still makes each book feel abrupt and unfinished to me.

On the plus side, if you like Armstrong’s formula and her world, then this book will be a good fit. Also, like her other books, this installment is a quick, easy read and very action-based. I also appreciate that the superpowers that these teens possess vary from what’s seen in her previous books.

These things, however, weren’t enough to make this book an enjoyable read for me. I’m sure I’ll read the final installment (The Rising) to see how things end, but I’m already feeling apprehensive about it because I fear it too will be too similar to her other stories. Even with this gloomy outlook, I hope I’m proved wrong and that Armstrong brings unexpected plot twists and well-rounded character development to the final book.

Reading The Calling so soon after finishing The Gathering is both a good and a bad thing. Good, because this book takes off exactly where we left the story in the last installment and there's absolutely no recapping for those who've forgotten what happened. Bad, because it only highlights the fact that Ms Armstrong does not have enough story for three books and this one was a complete waste of time and paper.

I really don't understand why every single publisher/author thinks that a trilogy is the only way to go. Two books are fine, two books are welcome when the alternative is a bout of middle book syndrome dawdling. Because nothing really happens in this book, and the stuff that is relevant doesn't take up enough pages that it couldn't be added to the next book. I am going to give Kelley Armstrong the benefit of the doubt and assume that she has an awesome ending planned and this book was just bridging the gap between the promising beginning and that perfect ending. I hope I'm right.

In The Calling it feels like the characters I'd come to know and love in the first book were just hanging around and waiting for something to happen... book three to arrive, perhaps? I didn't hate any of it, there wasn't really anything to hate, and I still like Armstrong's easy to read style that makes for a real guilty pleasure read when she does it properly. I don't know if it was her decision or the publisher's to make this into a trilogy, but I can tell you that it was the wrong one.

Not only that, but it also felt all too predictable. I saw everything coming and there were no surprises, mysteries or twists. It's not like we were really supposed to believe that (view spoiler) - were we?

It's very likely that I will read The Rising when it is released, although I might wait and see what the reviews are like first to see if it was an ending worth waiting for. I think it probably is, I think Armstrong has a decent story here, I just think she had two books worth instead of three.(less)

I have a feeling that some people are going to hate Kelley Armstrong's The Calling. It's almost impossible that she didn't think this was going to piss a few people off. This is a book you can't take at face value. Because at face value, this is a slow progressing plot, the romance is largely missing (though not entirely, it's just not with the same guy - shock horror), and as we get more answers about Maya, her friends and the bad guys, we also get more questions.

This is an adventure book. It'...more

I'll let my dear Sheldon to show you my reaction after reading this book

description

As some of you know I really love Kelley's books but not this one. I just got the feeling like this book is written only because it had to be done. I won't even start talking about know much I'm disappointed.

I'll write my reasons now and DON'T read it if you're planing to read the book. You've been warned.

(view spoiler)[ From very start of this book I've felt like I just entered some action movie. I really don't have nothing against that but everything has it limits. Through whole book was just action. Really too much.
First thing that got me was Rafa's "death". It was obvious that he didn't die. When Maya started having those dreams it was clear. That was thing #1.
Then the story carried on. I won't name all the things that happened while they were in wilds. All those arguing between them. Gah, they are in wilds alone, I know it is intense and they are scared but all that who will sacrifice for the team story. Suddenly they all are just nice, sweet and lovely friends. All of them? I'm not buying it. OK yes not Nicole, but still we found out that later. Then when Maya and Sam found that motel and how they acted. They desperately need help and they go into that motel demanding, yes demanding help. Who would do that? Then when they came into the van of that man. First thing your parents tell you is don't go with strangers and I'm pretty much sure we are listening to them. Maya and Sam could run away, boys could come or I dunno. Yes he had a gun, but there were 4 of them and the dog. At the end he shoot at them anyway.
Then when they came home. The city was deserted and all that made sense. What bothered me was Corey being turned-on and joking like that in that specific moment. I know he is funny guy but he has been shoot, finally came home, but found it deserted, his mother and brother gone and he is teasing Maya in a sexy way.
One more thing is that I actually don't see the point of this book. Yes, we found out few really interesting things. All of them being some sort of supernatural creatures and all that about the company that owned city was good part. Even Maya's father was good touch to this book. The best was when Maya transformed into cougar. But at the end we are back at the beginning. They are alone, helpless and they still don't know what they are and how bad or good their condition is. Maya is still the center of the universe. Rafa shows that he likes her, Danile still not brave enough for that. Love triangle all the way. (hide spoiler)]

So if somebody is willing to beat my arguments I'm here and I'm listening. If you show me really good POV to all this I'll gladly read this book again.

So 2 stars because of those good things I named there. (less)

Who else hates the cover?

--

Despite the unbelievability (supernatural or not, they are still teenagers), I liked this more than the previous book, because 1. action was happening, and 2. Armstrong no longer had to explain character back stories, so there was none of that "____'s parents are ____, ____ is ____'s ____, etc." Though I am glad that Armstrong shared more of Sam's backstory, I was still annoyed at how she had to be a cunt in nearly every scene.

And with "Team Rafe"...I don't know. As much as he sacrifices for Annie and all that, I just have trouble trusting him, even though Maya does. But hey. If either guy was coming after me, I'd throw this out the window, jump in his arms, andsay "On to Neverland!!!"

...don't judge.

But onto the book.

m'kay. It was good. I enjoyed the action. It was constant, and I felt truly engaged from start to finish. Plus, I felt truly interested in Maya's...ah...condition. *wink, wink* We find out more, and eve find out a bit more about that man whom she shres a shocking resemblance to...hehe.
I will admit, I had a few problems with the book, too. For one, all the characters have this heroic mentality of "Go on! Save yourselves! I'll let them catch me while you get away!" on't get me wrong, the first time I was all like, "Oh! You marvelous, courageous soul!" *dabs eyes* But then, it happened again. The third time, I ended up feeling like the Ma in the "Despicable Me" backstory:

(the following in their cool accent)
Gru: "Ma, look, I made a rocket ship!"
Ma: *looks at the rocket ship* *eyes widen* *dramatic pause*..."Ehh."

again, don't judge.
Also, I found it slightly annoying how they were basically in the woods in the middle of nowhere the whole time. I mean, I understand the reasoning, but it just made me feel like we were getting nowhere within the book.

But hey. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I'm usually not a big one for the darker witch-y, shape-shifty type stuff. I'm more of a "land of candy and rainbows where the unicorns poop butterflies andsing songs about bright colors" rather than this. But hey, I guess now I'm the girl who likes the "land of candy and rainbows where the unicorns poop butterflies andsing songs about bright colors AND the occasional Darkest Powers/Darkness Rising type of thingie".

So there you have it. Good book. Adieu.
