The Skylark's Song by J.M. Frey
5.0
Sometimes you pick up a book to read knowing that it will whisk you away to a world well worth exploring. THE SKYLARK'S SONG is just such a book. How did I know? I've read the novels and stories that make up The Accidental Turn series, by the same author.
J. M. Frey is a master of world building and populating that world with interesting and intriguing characters. Saskwya and Klonn are at war; gliders are fighting against aeroships with bloody consequences to both sides. In such fights there are heroes and villains and, as is so often the case, these are muddied by circumstance.
There is nothing more satisfying than reading a well-written book. THE SKYLARK'S SONG has all the ingredients a great book must have… believable characters, vibrant settings, page-turning action, some steampunk gadgets, and just the right touch of romance.
Although the story does not exactly end on a cliffhanger, you will want to have the second book in the duology at hand when you finish this first book. I did and was able to continue as if it was all one book. Grab copies of both THE SKYLARK'S SONG and THE SKYLARK'S SACRIFICE… you won't be sorry.
