(I got this as a Kickstarter Backer)
He is borne aloft by the Silver Wind. He alone flies the highest peak. And when they hear his song at battle's end The Nameless shall know themselves And the Voiceless will once again speak.
I feel like crying, because this book is beautiful. By the Silver Wind has made my heart clench with fear, eyes blur with mournful tears, and forced me to smile, to laugh out loud with Shard, Asvander, Hikaru, and all the other lovely characters.
I love, love, love this book. To prove my point, when I received it on Wednesday, I only had about 2 hours to begin reading until bedtime. Then, the next day, school limited my reading for 7 whole hours, but by the time I went to bed, I was halfway through. Finally, today, this lovely summer Friday, I have read almost non-stop and finished it before 5 pm.
This book is amazing. Wonderful, fantastic. Spectacular and terrific. Outstanding, excellent. Many thanks to the super author Jess E. Owen for writing the Summer King Chronicles. I enjoyed every page read, every chapter loved, every hour spent yelling at my family to let me read it peace (in a loving way, of course).
Not only has the Summer King Chronicles been an excellent read, it has changed my life. And I mean it. I cannot imagine how I would be if I had not bought Song of the Summer King out of curiosity a year ago, but I know for certain that I would be a lot worse off. Shard has helped me fly through stormwinds, helped me battle wyrms, helped me make peace with myself and others around me.
Fly high, my fellow members of the pride and wolf pack friends, windfriends and earthfriends alike, and fair winds!

Any review I can write will fail to convey the feelings I would want to convey. So I'll just say that this book was absolutely amazing.

Read this years ago, finally catching up with writing a review. This was a fantastic culmination to an overall wonderful and creative series. I loved anthroprmophic fiction as a kid, and this is a delightfully grown-up version of some o the stuff i used to read. This was stunning, giving all the characters well thought out endings while still leaving room for many more stories returning to the winderost and the silver isles. I can't wait to see what comes next!
