51. The Calling - Kelley Armstrong

The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong is the second book in the Darkness Rising.

I've let this book soak in (for a few hours now) and I still love it. I rated it a whole star more than the first one because there was so much more going on. Or at least it felt like it anyways.

She moves very slowly through time with her writing, but she gets every detail and that is the reason I love Kelley Armstrong. At first it feels as if nothing has happened because time moves so slowly in her writing until you finish it and think. In reality, so much has happened.

I don't want to give too much away from this book since it is in fact the second book and I'd be ruining it for a lot of people if you haven't read it yet.

Maya is amazing and so strong, mostly mentally. She is such a great leader and doesn't back down from her responsibilities even when everyone but her friend Daniel is against her.

Daniel is a great friend for Maya, but for some reason I just don't like him. Like I understand that he has to be there but most of this book it just seemed like he was just... well there.

Raffe is pretty cool. I understand his motives and why he does what he does. I like him and Maya together, but the rest is just meh.

That covers the big three I think. I really, really like Sam and Annie. Both of them are amazing when we get to see them. This book hardly had any Annie in it, actually she only appeared once. But she reminded me why I love her character so much and I can't wait to see her in the third and final books. Meanwhile Sam is the badass girl every book needs.

Well, we actually need more than one badass girl in books. Maya and Same are prime examples of that and I love both of them.

Part of me wants Maya to be bisexual and end up with Sam in the end, but everyone knows that's just not going to happen any time soon. Oh well, I can live with her and Raffe together in the end. (Let's just face it. We all know it's going to happen anyways.)

What I'm really hoping for is an appearance from any character from the Darkest Powers trilogy.

I'm also staying very hopeful.

Onto read the next book!




If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.

Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
