Music Shall Untune the Sky by Lou Kemp
4.0
Music Shall Untune the Sky is book 1 in the Celwyn series. The prequel is The Violins Played Before Junstan. While it isn’t necessary to read the prequel first, I believe it will be of benefit.
Book 1 picks up in Prague with the protagonists heading to Singapore by train. The adventures are many along the way with Jules Verne crashing his balloon and joining the journey. They even meet up with Captain Nemo later in the tale. The story is full of vampires, witches, magic, Autobots, and so much more. The humor surprised me, as the dialogue had me chuckling many times.
The pace is lively and keeps the reader entertained and turning the pages until the end. The settings are richly described. At times, the book played like a movie in my mind.
I most identified with Bartholomew as I am a worrier too, but every character plays their role quite well. The book is a fantastic mash-up of genres that works very well to entertain the reader.
Fans of fantasy, history, paranormal, and action will love this tale.
I am a little surprised that the book blurb rather gives away the cliffhanger. Now, if you plan to read the next book, this isn’t a problem. But it is unusual.
