I love books. I don't care for what age the book is written, I am going to read it. However, This one left me thinking, why so many cliches? And the dialogue was not right. I say an eight-year-old may like it because they may not know any better. For me, it needed the tender loving care of a good editor. ( )

It's difficult to find good Christian-oriented fantasy novels. This one is fantastic. The world-building is very nice, the characters are varied and strongly-written, and the story is fantastic. The whole thing has a Chronicles of Prydain feel, yet still uniquely its own.
I highly recommend it. ( )

Think Lord of the Rings with a female protagonist. This epic fantasy is filled to the brim with vivid characters, intense fight scenes, and incredible world-building. The allegory in the story adds to the depth and meaning of the books and definitely makes the reader look inward. Some writers write fantasy, others breathe it, and that's how this book felt. Gillian Bronte Adams is a talented writer and I look forward to the continuation of The Songkeeper Chronicles. ( )
