The Song Of Mavin Manyshaped In this first book of the Mavin Manyshaped trilogy, Mavin is growing into her talents as a shapeshifter. Unfortunately for young women in her shapeshifter community, once they come into their talents they are expected to focus on pleasing the men, basically becoming sex-slaves. Not wanting to waste her talents, her life, and her emotional well-being on people who don't deserve that kind of sacrifice, Mavin flees into a world completely unknown to her, making new friends and finding new dangers. Once I got used to the idea that Mavin's brand of shapeshifters can change into pretty much anything, I fell right into this book. From the moment the story opens, with Mavin practicing changing the length of her toes in the dirt, I knew she was a heroine I'd be rooting for. |
