The Spellsong War (Spellsong Cycle #2)

In the follow up to The Soprano Sorceress, Anna finds herself and her adopted nation under siege from all sides. Using her powerful spell songs, Anna manages to pull through but not without some difficulty. I'd like to see this series explore her use of spell songs to control humans. She has used it innumerable times to force people to behave a certain way and it should have some dark consequences later on.

of course, being a sappy romantic i was hoping for a small love story in this book. Because usually stories of women heroines usually ends with a love story but not this one. It was serious and intriguing AND long but i was able to finish it in two days (i was just that enthusiastic!). I was hopin for a little more detail about the characters other than Anna but the author just left you with your imagination to figure it out for yourself. N-e wayz, i was hoping for a little more drama, it became a little dry at sometimes but i still loved it! So be off! And buy this book = )

The Spellsong series is a fresh and differnet approach to magic.It uses a completly different avenue towards adventure. I look forward to the next book Darksong Rising. Keep up the good work Mr.M, most enjoyable reading.

Very building, starting with mere problems with the infrastructure of Defalk, but building to a full-scale invasion of neighboring Dumar. The changes in tense are very clever and unique. Not even Terry Brooks would do something like that...

Since the sprano sorceress I have been an big fan of L.E.Modesitt, and this latest book has done nothing to belittle my admiration. I loved the book, and you cannot but like Anna and the strength determination that she shows in the difficult choices that she has to face. Also it describes admirably the terrible loneliness that accompenies great power and how it sets her apart from those around her. The plot also has some unforseen twists that are unexpected. I enjoyed this book very much and counting the days till the next book.
