Wow! I'm blown away! I loved Silent Melody, the story that Enchanted Melody is the sequel to, and I have to say, Ivinya has outdone herself with this novel. Can the Pied Piper find redemption after everything he's done? You're gonna have to read this book to find out!
Ivinya leads you along the twisty paths of the Singing Woods and other magical places in Avia. Her worldbuilding is impeccable as ever, but the characters truly pop off the page in this story. As ever, Ivinya has a strong focus on disability even I this book, although this one delves seven deeper into the piper's psyche. Can the man who spent decades stealing children from their families ever forgive himself for what he did when Queen Oda had him under her control. And more than himself, can he forgive the queen herself for what she did to him?
A wonderful, empowering and uplifting read, and definitely the best book I've read this year! If you want an incredible fantasy read, you can't go wrong with The Songs of the Piper series. Heartless Melody (in the Enchanted Waters charity anthology), Silent Melody and Enchanted Melody are brilliant.
