*Pre-order the next captivating folkloric fantasy, SONG OF THE HUNTRESS, now!*
In a magical ancient Britain, bards sing a story of treachery, love and death. This is that story. For fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Lucy Holland's Sistersong retells the folk ballad ‘The Twa Sisters.'
'A beautiful reimagining of an old British folklore ballad, Sistersong weaves a captivating spell of myth and magic' – Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne
King Cador’s children inherit a land abandoned by the Romans, torn by warring tribes. Riva can cure others, but can’t heal her own scars. Keyne battles to be seen as the king’s son, although born a daughter. And Sinne dreams of love, longing for adventure.
All three fear a life of confinement within the walls of the hold, their people’s last bastion of strength against the invading Saxons. However, change comes on the day ash falls from the sky – bringing Myrdhin, meddler and magician. The siblings discover the power that lies within them and the land. But fate also brings Tristan, a warrior whose secrets will tear them apart.
Riva, Keyne and Sinne become entangled in a web of treachery and heartbreak, and must fight to forge their own paths. It’s a story that will shape the destiny of Britain.
Sistersong is a powerfully moving story, perfect for readers who loved Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Katherine Arden’s The Bear and the Nightingale.

I have to admit I had a hard time getting settled in this book, but once I did it was really really good. The language is beautiful and the characters are complex, lovely and sometimes infuriating. Just hang in there if you get stuck, it’s worth it in the end

Så förutsägbar att jag började tro att det som lades upp för bara skulle vara en distraktion för den riktiga twisten. Men jag överskattade den här boken. Exakt det man trodde skulle ske skedde. Den var väldigt klyschig och lästes lite som en maktfantasi från författarens håll. Slutet var också oförtjänt prydligt.Den här boken hade kunnat var så mycket mer, den utspelar sig i en intressant miljö för en fantasy, magisystemet var också intressant.Dock måste jag säga att relationerna mellan karaktärerna var det värsta med den här boken. Alla var vandrande klyschor och definierades helt av sina trauman. Värst var sidokaraktärerna som aldrig tilläts vara något annat än svart-vita. Jag kan inte rekommendera den här boken till riktigt någon. Det finns så mycket bättre fantasy där ute, läs det istället.

Underbar berättelse, och en av de bästa uppläsarna jag hört!

Uppläsaren gör ett fantastiskt jobb här. Kanske drar hon upp betyget från 4 till 5. Kanske förtjänar Sistersong 5 av 5 på egna ben. Tror jag måste läsa denna själv för att se.
