Tie up those loose ends,
By Barbara E. Brewer (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Songsmith (Witch World Novels (Paperback Tor)) (Mass Market Paperback)
In this book Andre Norton has begun tying together most of her important Witch World families. I really enjoyed watching the songsmith work her way from one part of the world to the other. She picks up a horse-racing ringer and barely excapes with him from a mob who felt that they were cheated. (Imagine that!) There is a wise woman gone to the bad who wanted to drain the racer's power, Garth Howell is on the prowl, and assorted other badies. All comes right in the end though, (I like good endings) the songsmith triumphs over all of these obstacles, finds the cure for her father, rescues her mother and little brother, finds her talent, and gets a hubby. Ms. Norton is my favorite and if she must team up with someone A.C. Crispin is the best of them all. This is a good book.

A thoroughly good read,
By kulpa@ozemail.com.au (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Songsmith (Witch World Novels (Paperback Tor)) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have followed the Witch World series for many years and this is one of the many good stories. A girl sets out on a quest to restore her father's memory and find her mother. She travels most of the witch world during the course of the story. It is a fine adventure with the right balance of romance, danger and action. Thoroughly recommended.

An all time favorite,
This review is from: Songsmith (Witch World Novels (Paperback Tor)) (Mass Market Paperback)
If there is one book that I will forever treasure - it will be this one. This is the book that introduced me to science fiction/fantasy stories.
It was written wonderfully that the magical aspects seems so realistic. The descriptions of the Witch World were so fascinating, and the magic the witches and adepts do were very compelling - vividly described that one would think it could happen. "A place here and yet not here..." Eydryth and Alon make good "music" together. Their love story was so beautifully intertwined with the greater themes of the plot.While it is part of a series, the book can also be a stand alone story. I strongly recommend it!
