Book Review: Enjoyable ride
Summary: 4 Stars
I found Adam Stemple's new series at the library. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his smooth prose and storyline. Steward of Song continues the story started in book one, Singer of Souls. It truly is a series, so don't read this one if you haven't read Singer.
The story follows Scott and Bridie Stewart. Scott is a recovering veteran, living quietly in rural Massachusetts. One night, a baby is left at his door and his whole world turns upside down. Meanwhile, his sister Bridie is in Scotland searching for their missing brother Douglas (Singer of Souls) who's been accused of a terrible crime.
Stemple does a nice job of combining modern life with the world of myth and fairy. However, unlike some fantasy authors, his mythical creatures are not always "good." Humanity may interact with their world but other forces motivate it.
Be warned that the book's ending, while not a cliff-hanger, is not a true ending. The action pauses but more adventures are waiting in the wings. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this unique series.
