izabzh 's review for:

The Singing by Alison Croggon
5.0

What can I say ? I loved the whole series.
It may be sometimes slow paced, but the characters are great (no, scratch it, they're wonderful), the story is good if not original (good against evil). I enjoyed the importance of music, of language and the fact that all characters were not automatically 100% as good as they were supposed to be. They were human. Well, mostly human. I loved visiting this world and seeing the different people and cultures that live in it. I liked that people had to pee, had their periods, were dirty during travels (this is something I never thought I'd write), because it felt realistic.
The ending was very satisfying ! And at the same time, I was happy to have read a whole series but sad to leave it behind me. Well, I have the books, I can always re-read them later !

(PS : I'm writing this having had my work computer updated to W10 to W11 - against my will, believe me, that software is a real pain).
