"In national bestselling author Sharon Shinn's latest Shifting Circle novel, a woman must choose between hiding her nature-and risking her heart... For Karadel, being a shape-shifter has always been a reality she couldn't escape. Even though she's built a safe life as a rural veterinarian, with a close-knit network of shifter and human friends who would do anything for her-and for each other-she can't help but wish for a chance at being normal. When she's not dealing with her shifts or caring for her animal patients, she attempts to develop a drug that will help shifters control their changes-a drug that might even allow them to remain human forever. But her comfortable life is threatened by two events: She meets an ordinary man who touches her heart, and her best friend is forced to shift publicly with deadly consequences. Now Karadel must decide whom to trust: her old friends or her new love. "--… (lisätietoja)

The book was overall an enjoyable read. I especially enjoyed seeing all of the various relationships Karadel is in... her budding romance as well as all the friendships. I think I liked that part the best; the drama about the shape shifters was secondary. I can see why the tension with the jerk in town was added (can't say more without spoilers) but I didn't care about that part of the plot nearly as much. I definitely preferred the more slice-of-life rest of the book. (

While I still can't that the Shifting Cycle series will ever be my favorite works of Sharon Shinn's, I can at least say that this installment is my favorite thus far. Finally, something has clicked into place, and the unrealized potential that this series has had (in my opinion) is starting to become realized potential instead. Karadel, Joe, and the assorted ensemble seem more tangible and I can relate to what they're going through on a basic level, although obviously not a literal one (since I can't actually shape-shift - shocking, I know.) I can only hope that the next installment, provided there is one, only improves more. (

I liked this *much* better than [b:The Shape of Desire|11769081|The Shape of Desire (Shifting Circle, #1)|Sharon Shinn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1310080799s/11769081.jpg|16720290] - will be going back to find book 2, in hopes it's more like this one than the first. (

Karadel is a shape-shifter who is trying to find a way to control what animal she shifts into and when she shifts. She meets Joe, and begins to fall in love with him. Meanwhile, one of her shape-shifter friends is in the process of being date-raped and shifts into her animal form to escape, but, in so doing sets into motion a very dangerous chain of events, leading to a murder and other horrifying realizations.

The Shifting Circle is not my favourite of Shinn's series, but these books very conversational and easy to fall into, so I read The Turning Season even though I knew I'd find it ultimately unsatisfying. Consequently I don't feel like I should complain about what about this series doesn't work for me, because I knew exactly what I was in for.

I did like that this one is actually about a shapeshifter, rather than a shapeshifter's lover or sister, because Karadel has quite a different perspective on the whole shapeshifting thing. (
