Amber Argyle's Witch Song sings a beautiful coming-of-age tale. Alone, except with dog and her mother's journal, fifteen-year-old Brusenna escapes from a Witch Hunter and flees toward Haven for protection. With her mother and fellow Keepers captured by the Dark Witch, she is their last hope. Reluctantly accepting help, Brusenna travels to battle the Dark Witch. If she doesn't succeed, no one will. Witch Song held me captive under its carefully sung spell. Argyle's prose is beautiful and vivid, creating stunning scenes and heart-wrenching emotions on the page. The type of magic in this novel will appeal to those familiar with L.E. Modesitt Jr.'s Spellsong Cycle. Witch Song's world is epic, and Argyle yanks the reader along for the journey. The complexity in the characters populates her world. Brusenna's strength and character to carry on and do what is right instead of what is easy is powerful. Like the seeds she sings to life, Brusenna blooms throughout the novel. At times, Witch Song reminded also me of what I loved about Rowling's Harry Potter series. I didn't want to stop reading it! Adventure, romance, and magic intertwine in this young adult fantasy novel. I have a feeling that Amber Argyle's Witch Song will become much loved and remembered.
