Scarred by her past; defined by her future. Eva is a herd mistress without a herd. A tagalong by her own definition. Not thrown away by her people, but rather someone who created a new life for herself when the old one died.When she rescues one of the mysterious winged horses, a creature straight out of myth, from those who would enslave him, Eva opens the door to something her chosen people want … something her chosen people want more than anything else. An alliance.
Now, sent deep into the Highlands and guarded by one of the Warlord’s most trusted warriors, Eva will have to brave the terrors that wait there. Someone is sowing the seeds of dissent upon which war turns. Failure will lead to death, but success may bring revelations she’s not ready to face.
The balance of power is shifting in the Broken Lands. Those who survive will need to adapt quickly to the ever-changing landscape. Choosing her friends wisely has never been so important.

I loved this book. Eva is an awesome heroine whose affinity with animals leads to adventure and love. This book has intrigue, betrayal, hiss worthy villains and of course a love story.
Rated 4.5 stars! Received ARC for an honest review.
T.A. White continues delving into the world of the Broken Lands with “The Wind’s Call”. Picking up sometime after Shea and Fallon’s story, we find ourselves once again meeting Eva, the herd mistress introduced earlier in the series. Eva is thrust into a position of great importance as she saves a mythological creature from capture. With an important alliance on the line, she must traverse the Highlands, brave the dangers there, and keep her head up as things begin to get crazy. Oh, and figure out the Warlord’s most trusted guard and all that entails.
Personally, I wasn’t sure I would like Eva because I wasn’t the biggest fan of her when she was introduced. I can say that I’m glad I gave her a chance because not only is she clever, spunky, and snarky, but she is also extremely relatable. Unlike Shea, Eva isn’t a warrior and she doesn’t try to be. She understands what she wants and the dangers that the world has. But just because she isn’t a warrior doesn’t mean she doesn’t stand up for herself. Eva will surprise you if you take the chance to let her.
T.A. White continues her series with wonderful descriptions that bring the mythological creatures almost into being. The interactions between Eva and the other characters tied the story together. Easy to read, funny, and serious all at once is a trademark of White’s stories. Since this is the fourth book in the serious and does draw on ideas and characters presented in the last books, I would highly recommend reading the first three books. You won’t want to miss them anyways because they are incredible. My only catch-up would have been more in depth with the mythologicals and a slower romance burn, but honestly, it was marvelous and I loved it.
So take your time and enjoy “The Wind’s Call” because it will certainly be an enjoyable ride.
My new favorite book in the Broken Lands series! So happy to see T.A. White continuing on with this interesting world. Can’t wait to see where she leads us next!
I loved going back into the Broken Lands and watching Eva come into her own.
Eva chose to follow the Trateri when they found her wandering after fleeing from her village. She has always been the odd one out, never fitting in. Something about her is different, more. And to people who see different as suspicious and something to be feared, she has always felt isolated.
After finding a place with the Trateri, Eva has found some small place of peace, although she’ll always be seen as a throwaway. But when her instincts lead her into a situation unlike any she’s experienced before, she finds herself traveling an arduous journey, far from the life she wanted.
’She wanted a simple life filled with certainty – safety and boredom because they went hand in hand.’
While this book has lots of wild adventures and reveals mysteries of the land and dangers at every turn, this is mainly about the heroine and the evolution of her character from feeling unaccepted and different, into that of being a part of the community and a valuable addition to the Warlord’s team.
This also includes the quiet and mysterious Caden who rarely speaks, never smiles and seems to be watching Eva. A lot. Their relationship is not insta anything, except maybe curiosity. I really enjoyed watching them grow closer. Caden is definitely protective and I loved that he was often puzzled or aggravated over Eva’s determination to do things her way.
”You’re like a craving in my blood and a fire in my veins that I can’t seem to work out, no matter how I try.”
This could be read as a standalone, but you might feel a bit lost when it comes to the “world” these characters reside in. And while it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, it’s obvious more is to come. I hope we get a further look at this couple.
Another great installment in The Broken Lands series. I find that I’m really loving this world T.A. White has created. It’s just fascinating to me. There is so much about this world and the beasts that roam it that makes for an exciting read.
Eve had a small part in Shea and Fallon’s installments but she did make you stand up and notice her. I’m really glad that the author felt she deserved her own book. She is a lot like Shae. She’s a woman that was easily ignored until someone threatened an animal. Then she became fierce in her protection of anyone who needed it.
What I found very interesting was that the creatures Eve felt the need to protect were deadly predators. It’s such a great message that even someone small and unassuming can make a big impact if given the chance.
While Caden has not beat out Fallon as my favorite hero, he was pretty darn close. He’s the quite but deadly type. He observed and didn’t bring attention to his actions. Like Fallon, he wasn’t all warm and fuzzy at first.
The Trateri people are a very suspicious race. You really have to prove yourself for them to let you in, but once they do, their are a loyal lot. I’m hoping the author has plans for more in the series. There is a lot more she can do with these people and I would love more.
Wonderful
Love this series
You could read this as a stand-alone because it starts with new characters and new challenges
