Reactions and Reviews

Blair's in trouble again and this time he's not alone. When a ruthless thief targets a museum exhibit for its priceless artifacts, Blair and a group of elementary school children become unwilling participants in his plan. While Jim and the rest of Major Crimes race to the rescue, the fledgling Shaman spins an ancient tale of adventure in a desperate attempt to save all of their lives.

Old fandom saying, when reading K. Ryn's fics...pack a lunch.

I knew from the beginning of this month, that I wanted my last rec for the Sentinel to be a K. Ryn story.

K. Ryn is a master of the long, plotty and absolutely engrossing stories. And when I say long, I mean long. Hence the lunch joke. They are the perfect stories to print out and take with you on vacation or a long car ride. They draw you in and you scarcely notice the time pass. She paints amazing images with her words and Calling The Beasts is a prime exmaple of that. It's one of her shorter stories, at 177k and puts Blair into a hostage situation...with a class of children ending up under his care leaving Jim, and the rest of Major Crime, to figure out a way to rescue Cascade's favorite troublemagnet....

K.Ryn loves to play with the shaman side of Blair's character, giving it a look most people wouldn't be able to and she calls that into play in this story. It's an absolutely fascinating ride and, like all of her fic, absolutely captivating.
