Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

I read Changers, Book One at the start of the year and it was actually the first book I ever reviewed on Amy’s Bookish Life, so it will always be a book I remember. I remember being so intrigued with the concept of living out each four years of your school life as a different person. It was just something that stood out to me and seemed rather unique. So when I managed to get a copy of Changers, Book Two I knew I was going to be in for a treat.

Changers Book 2 starts as Ethan/Drew changes into tall, skinny, African-American Oryon who has a lot of swagger, for his Sophmore year and second year as a Changer. We follow Oryon as he tries to cope with being in the minority category at Central High and make friends. We also see him trying to win over the affections of Audrey, whom he was rather close to when he was Drew in his Freshman year. We experience Oryon’s highs and lows as he starts to realise how hard it really is to be a second year Changer.

I feel that Changers, Book 2 answers a lot of questions that were unanswered or just not explained well in Changers, Book 1. For example we find out a bit more about the Abiders (Statics or non-changers who are Anti-Changer) and how dangerous they can actually be. We also discover how the RACHA (or radical changers) are getting on. We learn this by being introduced to Chase’s (remember Chase from book 1?) new persona. I feel like the RACHA’s are quite similar to Hippies which I feel is what they were based on.

I feel like Oryon was a better character than Drew and I felt a lot closer to him whilst reading. It was like I wanted to know what happened to him and I wanted to just be there for him. Whereas Drew was a pretty two dimensional character, in my opinion, Oryon definitley was a lot more drawn out and thought up. Sometimes whilst reading I did forget that they were basically the same person. You would’ve thought their personalities would be the same, but they certainly weren’t.

Like in Book 1 there are a few sensitive issues that are touched on. In this instance Racism, Discrimination, Hate, Prejudice and Sex were mentioned. I felt like they were dealt in a way that wouldn’t be triggering to anyone and could actually be helpful in educating people who may not be used to these types of issues.

Changers, Book 2 was a great sequel to its predecessor it definitley had more depth with regards to the storyline and characters. I am now dying to read Book 3, as the ending literally had my mouth hanging open with shock (if you read it you will know what I mean).
