About this listen
Her solo is a death sentence.
Deep within the world of Leira flows a melody that was sung at the beginning of time by Emhran, the Master Singer. Now it is broken, buried, forgotten. But in each generation, a Songkeeper arises to uphold the memory of the Song against those who want it silenced forever.
When Birdie first hears the Song coming from her own mouth, her world shatters. She is no longer simply an orphan but the last of a hunted people. Forced to flee for her life, she must decide whom to trust - a traveling peddler, a streetwise thief, or a mysterious creature who claims to know her past.
With enemies at her heels and war threatening to tear her homeland apart, Birdie soon discovers an overwhelming truth: The fate of Leira may hinge on one orphan's Song.

Story
Ceridwen tal Desmond dreams of ruling like her father over the nation of Soldonia, where warriors ride to battle on magical steeds—soaring on storm winds, vanishing in shadow, quaking the earth, and summoning the sea. After a tragic accident claims her twin brother, she is exiled and sworn to atonement by spending her life—or death—for her people. But when invaders spill onto Soldonia’s shores and traitors seize upon the chaos to murder her father, Ceridwen claims the crown to keep the nation from splintering.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North. In the remote villages of Southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving - a test of courage and skill that not all survive. But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war.

Story
Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium - elves are superior. They are faster, stronger, and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them.

Story
Lindisfarne, AD 793. There had been portents - famine, whirlwinds, lightning from clear skies, serpents seen flying through the air. But when the raiders came, no one was prepared. They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site. It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground.

Highly recommended
A well written story full of realistic characters and fantastical creatures. There is an undertone of faith and the Creator (Songmaster), but it does not have an overt Christian message. I do love how Birdie is simply a vessel to the Songmaster and cannot control the song of her own accord, only submit and yield to it.
The series is clean in language (though one character gets creative and humorous in alternative expressions :-) and contains no romance of any kind. There is violence to some extent (plenty of battle scenes) but an overall message emphasizing the value of life.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the series and highly recommend it to those who enjoy clean fantasy.

okay story, but no conclusion
This is a good story to listen to for young adults, but I felt frustrated at the end because it was not a real conclusion. it is a trilogy, but I still feel that every book should feel like it has come to an end, in this book did not. also it was classified as Christian fiction, but there were only small allusions to it.

Cliff Hanger and a little dark
The book just ends, I really hate books that just end. I was disappointed in the book, I found the story more depressing than uplifting. That could just be my take. I really wanted to listen to a swear word free book, and the description made me think that this would be a humorous book. Unfortunately there was very little humor in the book. With all that said, the story was intriguing and new, so I kept listening wanting to find out what happened to the main character and then it just stops.

Best alternative swear words on the planet!
Ever get frustrated and cuss? Well, look no further than Amos to find choice CLEAN vocal treats!! LOVED IT! Some great furniture in the world building: pipe smoking, downhome good eating, ornery ponies, dwarves and peddlers, cats and griffins. And, almost like Dickensian London: scrappy boys dodging horse carts in mud. But Birdie does something pretty special for the reader who is a young Christian woman. She is a bit of a Joan of Arc figure who gradually realizes that God calls her to fight the evil! I think that many 12 to 20 yr old girls nowadays realize that a good family lifestyle is being threatened by wicked forces. Birdie finds courage in the face of evil and discovers special gifts and callings. I enjoyed it as a 55 year old father of 5.

Captivating
First book in exciting new trilogy series that interweaves story of an orphan, peddler, and street thief whose lives become entangled as they join forces to battle evil war lord. From the very first pages of the prologue, the author draws the reader into a captivating and exciting story. Narration is excellent too!
