Hey everybody! Thanks for your interest in this blog. Sad to say, I haven't posted on here in a while and I don't really have the motivation too anymore anyway. So I made a new blog that's more about my life, and less about books. If you want the link, here it is: http://justamormongirl2.blogspot.com/
Sorry if anyone is looking for a continuation of the book reviews, but I just read too much for my reviews to keep up with my books.

Magic Thief
Stars:*****
When Connwaer picks the pocket of an old man walking around in the twilight, the last thing he expects is that the man is a magician. However, that is exactly what the man is, and when Connwaer accidentally steals the magician's locus magicalicus Connwaer becomes sucked into a mystery as big as the magic itself.
Somehow, the magic of the city is dwindling away into nothing, but can Connwaer figure out why before it's too late? Or will the devious Underlord Crowe get away with the biggest crime this century? Read the series to find out!
This book was actually recommended to me by my little brother. At first I was pretty dubious as to the worth of the book, but once I started reading I was hooked. A very fast-paced read, this book leaves you excited to read the trilogy. All of the characters are very well planned out and the plot is intense with excitement and danger around every corner.

Song Quest
Stars:******
Imagine a place where you can hear a voice on the other side of world without a telephone, or heal without medicine. Imagine learning the dreadful power of killing without a weapon, or sending someone to sleep with your voice alone. All this and more is possible in the world of the singers. On the island of echoes, young children are taught the songs of power. Challa, with the power to send someone to sleep. Kashe, with the power to make someone laugh. Shi, with the power to make someone cry. Aushan, with the power to unlock the deepest fears, and make someone cower in terror. And Yhen, with power to kill.
Rialle is a final year novice on the island of echoes. Just as she is about to finish her training, she suddenly begins to hear half-creatures, who are half human and half animal. Because of this great talent, the first singer, who is the leader of all the singers, sends her with a contingent of other singers, to try and stop the ferocious Karchholders from brutally maiming, and in some cases, eating, the half creatures.
Meanwhile, Kherron, a novice from Rialle's class, has run away; determined to prove that he is just as good as any singer on the island. When their paths cross, can Raille and Kherron stop the mysterious Kihzpriest from destroying the island of echoes? Or will the singers be destroyed? Read the series to find out!
This is a really compelling story about friendship and magic, where magic really takes the backseat. Rialle is full of fear at the beginning, but by the end has found her courage. Kherron is cocky and full of himself at first, but soon learns humility and patience. The ending is really good, and wraps up just enough to leave you satisfied yet excited to read the rest of the series.
