My Review

I have always enjoyed mythology, legends, and folklore ever since I can remember. I saw the blurb for Dissonance of Bird Song and knew I had to read it.

The reader follows Eseld, a song-weaver in her journey, to try to cure her people’s sacred birds and to rescue her sister from an ancient sea queen.  It’s an enchanting, mesmerising, beautifully woven story in which Alexandra Beaumont perfectly balances the magic of mythology, folklore, and legends with a tale of how harsh life is. Her vivid imagery brings the setting to life. I was almost hypnotised by this story.

Eseld herself is a woman who proves herself to be resilient and determined. She is a multi layered character with flaws as we all have. I felt her courage and total determination as I read. She is torn between her loyalty and her own need to follow her destiny. I did feel for her throughout, seeing her struggle at times pulled on my heartstrings, and I just wanted her to succeed.

Every character adds their own unique voice to the narrative. This creates a story that doesn’t just weave magic, myths, and folklore together. It also enriches the storytelling to a mesmerising level. I would love to see a second book set within this world, but we shall have to wait and see. A highly recommended read for anyone who appreciated superbly woven stories.
