Posted in Book Reviews on 14 November, 2026
Avery is happy to have his feathers back so he can be a bird again. He doesn’t spend too long in his pigeon form, since Derek worries about what might happen to a pigeon in the wild. Still, Avery feels the need to stretch his wings more, so he asks Derek to let him take part in a race. His lover reluctantly agrees. The race starts out okay, but Avery and his fellow pigeons are soon disoriented. Avery has to land and isn’t sure if he’ll ever get home again. Home to Derek.
This book is a sequel to Feathered Friend, so you should have read that tale before starting this one. It picks up the story of Avery and Derek after they’ve settled into a quiet domestic life. There’s a little drama to this short slice of life, but it’s nothing major or artificial.
The narration is entirely from Avery’s point of view. Despite being a shape-shifter, he feels like a remarkably innocent young man. He doesn’t even know other forms of shifters exist before this story. Until now, he’s been the only one. It all adds a little depth to the character, but as this is another short novella, you won’t be getting much more about either of the central characters.
“Steal the Sky” is available from Bookshop.org to purchase from an independent bookstore.
