Cardyn Brooks's Reviews > Whispers of Shadow & Flame

There is a fatalistic undertone to this second entry in the compelling Earthsinger Chronicles that makes Kyara's saga more grueling and somewhat depressing, especially in the first one hundred pages, than the overall triumphant vibe in Song of Blood & Stone. The cliffhanger ending is a downer, but this author's considerable storytelling prowess merits readers' anticipation for a satisfying continuation in book three.
