Chameleon: The Awakening

The Forest People, Book 1

By: Maggie Lynch

Narrated by: Rachel Jacobs

Camryn Painter is a 16-year-old freak of nature. Or possibly the savior of a civilization that isn't supposed to exist. She's a human chameleon...one who transforms into the image of whoever she sees.

Escaping from a medical research facility, Camryn discovers a magical forest world. Not that she's welcome. Her new home is filled with faeries and beasts set on destroying her.

Striking a tribal alliance between what she once believed were mythical beings is her only chance of survival...if she can just control her power and figure out who to trust.

Great YA fantasy series, but some drawbacks..

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

It had a little more teen angst then I was expecting and also the switching of good boy, bad boy going around started getting old near the end.

Which scene was your favorite?

Any additional comments?

Great idea for the series. I definitely want to know more about the plains of existence and specifics of forest magic. Backstory could be deepend to have a more solid background to the events unfolding. Waiting to checkout future installments.

An enjoyable read & listen

My first read from author Maggie Faire was wonderfully written with a somewhat unique main character & storyline. Since I read/listened to the audiobook I have to give kudos to the narrator who did a fine job & added to the enjoyment of the book. I look forward to the follow-up book.

Awesome fantasy series

I really enjoyed this story....so much so that I finished it in one sitting! It’s a beautiful, wild and fresh coming of age story. I can’t wait to listen to the next in the series. Rachel Jacobs did a great job with the narration, too.

YA in a new world

An unique world created for this coming to age story. I'm always looking for new settings in the fantasy genre and this one was new to me. It focuses around a teenage girl learning about who she is and where she comes from. It's a mixture of urban fantasy and fantasy. The characters are likable and distinct if a little disjointed (just like real teenagers). The author or the editing rushes through sections that could have been more developed.
