SHHHH - Take Care To Not Waken the Singer....
I’m working graveyard shift for a small resort/hotel, so I got an early start today with this novel.
Although I have studied the techniques of writing fantasy as taught by Michael Stackpole, I am no expert on the craft, so take that into advisement while perusing my thoughts on “Song of the Forever Rains.”
World building does not commence early in this story. Instead, the author launches into a far-fetched tale of three girls exploring forbidden areas in the mischievous way that only the innocent youths can. Scene descriptions of their antics are so well done and such fast reading that I simply could not put the book down.
In short, I loved the book.
LANGUAGE: Clean language.
Although there clearly is more story coming, I would not call the ending a cliffhanger.
How much did I enjoy this fantasy? Well enough to pre-order the sequel. Michael Stackpole would be proud to have had E. J. Mellow as a student.
