honestly i started this cause i heard the second one had pirates and i, along with every human being on earth, love pirates, but i am so glad i did. it was in all the ways pretty, the magic was powerful and theatrical and i adored it. maybe it’s my fatherless behavior talking but i was very suspicious of dolion throughout the whole book, kings and fathers are always horrible beings in fantasy so i was just waiting for the moment he did something awful to his daughters and i was SO WRONG (he calls her my songbird, cmon. that’s so fucking cute). family is such an important thing in this book and they did such a good job at showing it. lark and darius were adorable, i was rooting for them so loud the entire time. lark was incredibly funny and cool and such a good mc. i’m so excited to read niya’s story next, i know i’ll love it. SUCH A FUN AND EASY BOOK TO READ.

Larkyra Bassette is the youngest of three sisters, who all have different magical powers of the lost gods. Larkyra’s magic is her voice – she can slay monsters with a simple song. She can also heal with her voice (somewhat like Repunzel from Tangled), but she and her sisters must keep their magic a secret nonetheless. Song of the Forever Rains by E.J. Mellow introduces readers to the Bassette family, the country of Aadilor, a secret city called the Thief Kingdom, and an undercover mission disguised as an arranged marriage.
