Maggie Lynch’s The Forest People is a wonderfully imaginative series, and Chameleon: The Choosing (Book 2) is the perfect addition to it. I totally adore the lead here, Camryn Painter. The things she had gone through, just beginning to master her chameleon abilities, are incredible enough bit now having to bond with the most powerful creature in the universe, a thunder dragon? That would be a price too steep for most, but she’ll do anything to protect the Forest People. Thank goodness for that as it’s the makings for a fantastic series when in the hands of an author as talented as this one (Maggie Faire is a pen name of Maggie Jaimeson, one of my favorite authors). But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
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.
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.
