Raised among humans, Ori Jones only discovered he was an avian shifter six months ago. Unable to complete a full shift until he reaches his avian maturity, he still can't be sure of his exact species.

But with species comes rank, and rank is everything to the avians. When a partial shift allows the elders to announce that they believe Ori to be a rather ugly little duckling, he drops straight to the bottom rung of their hierarchy.

Life isn't easy for Ori until he comes to the attention of a high ranking hawk shifter. Then the only question is, is Ori really a duck - and what will his new master think when the truth eventually comes out?

The main character has literally zero personality beyond his “submission” even tho he had life before he found out he was a shifter. The story was so one dimensional. Both the main characters are just frustrating

Very blah

I am struggling with this review. I haven't finished the book, so I feel like I should reserve judgement, but at the same time I don't particularly WANT to finish it and that should count just as much.

First, I enjoy a power exchange story, even extreme Master/slave lifestyles. I can suspend my own personal desires in a relationship and recognize that the desire for truly D/s relationship can be legitimate and healthy. I find the dynamic interesting. I've even enjoyed stories where there's a power disparity between employer/employee and the like. In those stories the power exchange works when the parties are depicted as complex, well rounded characters who have personal value and identity outside of the exchange. then, when they choose to step into that dynamic there's truly power to yield to one another. This story irks me because Ori has no self-value or personal security AND Reinard hasn't done anything to reassure him that he HAS value and an identical beyond being perfectly submissive. Therefore, Ori isn't truly giving anything up or receiving anything in return. Even though he may be naturally inclined to submission and get some pleasure from it, which is totally great, that's not what is actually happening.

Or, at least it hasn't happened so far. I'm not encouraged by the fact that Reinard hasn't picked up on the fact that Ori has no self-value and or learned how to make him secure. Given the caste system of the Avion world, Ori's behavior seems pretty natural. So either Reinard is just a really dense Dom or this is the natural order of this in the Avion world and he never WILL understand Ori's insecurities and needs. I can't get past that.

Didn't finish, unsure...

Interesting story! I was not real sure what this book was all about but because I cannot seem to get enough of shifter stories, I was intrigued. The story of Ori and Raynard is an interesting one. The shifter dynamics, along with the submissive storyline took me a few to get into but as the story progressed, I found it predictable...not that, that is a bad thing. The underlying love that developed between the two protagonists was sweet and the angst added to the story. I liked the story, once I got into it.

Interesting...

I found their dynamic interesting from the beginning. The Nest has really treated Ori terribly but it is clear early on that while Raynard is developing a different in charge attitude. It is also clear that while things happened to Ori at the next with Raynard is completely on board with the relationship they are developing. While Raynard irritated me at the big reveal I can almost understand his reaction given his rigid ideals. I like how you get to see Ori's own strength in getting what he wants and needs out of life.

The first time reading avian shifters. Rod Maskew's narration was awesomingly on point! Definitely recommend.
