Matheus Santos _antos_rt — This was a fun book, with lots of witty word play on rock & roll terminology and band names, which although making the book enjoyable, also made my brain stutter while reading it (the neuropath less taken I guess). It definitely was fun in the way that it played with time, place, space and possibility with the character of Susan, Death's granddaughter. Definitely an enjoyable read, if a little fluffy. Perfect for a long trip - which is exactually where I read it...

Martino Palamidese _aal_ — Most people love it or hate it. Sorry, I'm a hater. My opinion is get a job and grow up.

Xavi Cardet uxavi — i really love his mind

袁 小丁 eponine_ — a good primer/guide for moderns seeking to understand and grow in a post modern world. Also a good aide to help post moderns relate to moderns

Okulo Noor okulonoor — The story of a liberal, open person finding herself under pressure from the forces of an evangelical Christian church hit a bit close to home, but this is an interesting opportunity to contemplate what works and what might not when it comes to fervent belief, assumptions, and any situation in which a person wants to endow you with his or her world view.

Hugo Rosado _osado — As a little girl, I liked fairy tales. I was never one to be extremely interested in them but I enjoyed them all the same. I was more of the American Girl and Babysitters Club fan-girl; I loved all those snarky, quick-witted girls. It is stories like Witch Song that make me wish that I was a fairy tale addict back in the day! This story combines so many wonderful elements to create a world that you want to live in just so you can see these things first hand. I wish I could hear the intoxicating voices of the witches. I want to see the plants of the world react to their songs. I even want to meet Pogg, a frog person, regardless of how freaky frogs are. The world building was tremendous, the characters were unique, and Amber’s take on witches was magical for lack of a better word. The world that was created in Witch Song is like one that I have always wanted to live in. I don’t care how dirty and grimy things may have been in the medieval days but I have always been fascinated with it. Witch Song doesn’t necessarily take place in this time period but a lot of the qualities reminded me of it. Large kingdoms with soldiers, merchants, and stocks where thieves would spend their nights locked up were all small but important qualities that brought this story to life for me. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the well written descriptions of the things Senna was seeing and the places she was going! Senna was a very strong lead character. I loved how she was so brave throughout every danger and obstacle she faced. She knew her mother, the other witches, and the fate of the world was in her hands but she never let that slow her down. She kept on doing what needed to be done in order to protect everyone. The only thing that truly bugged me about Senna was her thought process. There were a few scenes where she would come to decisions out of thin air. I was given little to no clues on what Senna was deciding to do so I was surprised more than once. A little more inner dialogue to show how she reached a decision would have been nice. Aside from that she was a strong, brave main character. Throughout the story we meet several side characters; some are evil, some are good but they all worked well together to keep the story interesting. Most important of the side characters is Joshen, Senna’s guardian. Of course there is a little romance between the two near the end but my fondness for Joshen is so much more than that. He is a protector to the core and he puts himself in between Senna and whatever evil is facing her at the moment more than once. He doesn’t possess any special powers but he still manages to keep Senna safe. Espen and her two sidekicks Wardof and Garg were the perfect villains in this book. We know little about them but they still managed to send chills up my spine with just the mention of their names. All of the small characters that helped Senna throughout the whole book such as Pogg, Captain Parknel, and even Senna’s trusty dog, Bruke, made a great impact on the story. I loved learning about their different, unique personality traits. The most striking quality about this book was Amber’s take on witches. There weren’t spells, broomsticks, and cauldrons. Witches in this story used their voices to make the elements do things for them. They could throw a certain seed, start singing, and all of a sudden a tree would grow and start throwing unwanted people around. I am sure the book’s description of this is so much better but that is the best example I could come up with. The witches had limits but they also had many, many amazing powers that I loved learning about. I was so intrigued with how witches were handled in this story. Witch Song is a wonderful, refreshing fairytale that I was completely engrossed in from start to finish. A mix of characters with strong personality traits, along with fascinating world building, makes this book a must read!
