Song of the Dead by Sarah Glenn Marsh

4.0

I really enjoyed reading this book which is the second novel in Sarah Glenn Marsh’s A Reign of the Fallen novel series. Odessa is a great protagonist in my opinion. She’s one who lives her life the best way that she can. What I like about her is that she loves who she loves regardless of whether they are male or female. I have never read a story with a character like this. At one point in this series she loved Evander and then fell in love with his sister Meredy after his death. As far as Song of the dead goes , I tried to figure out what that song was supposed to be. Was it someone singing it? Did the dead create a choir to belt out some tunes. However, once I learned what that meant I was pleasantly surprised.

This copy of the novel that I received from Penguin is 399 pages long. I was able to follow along without difficulty. Every character left an impression on me even down to the ones that were unable to speak. I felt bad for the spirits and those who fell during the battle. Without spoiling a major part of the story, I will say that there is a shocking part that I as always did not see coming. It’s something that I never realized could be possible.

I rated this book four stars out of five. I’m recommending it to readers who like a little fantasy, mythical creatures, magic and a battle or two.
