Why read it?

2 authors picked Orphan's Song as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Orphan’s Song is a lot more of a subtle allegory than some of the books on this list, but that is not a criticism! The author has such a gorgeous writing style, and her world really draws you in. It’s the kind of place you want to visit, but it doesn’t bog down the story. The music theme is also very well done, and there’s a hint of mystery that keeps you turning pages. If you like griffons, this is the book for you.

This book was a page-turner. I really enjoyed its unpredictability and vibrant cast of characters. The main character has been blessed with a magical gift that she knows nothing about nor how to use, but it becomes clear that a higher power is involved. It is reminiscent of the journey all Christians make in discovering how to use their God-given gifts for His glory.
