Back Appointed to the land. The army general wandering and the Lord of the Nine Houses Woodland, was entrusted with the treasure and the power of the old order dissolved nine months earlier. Today, many noble allies arrived to attend a banquet in honor of the firstborn of General Rudolfo. But while the party in full swing, invisible assassins burst into the banquet hall.
This book was read as part of a partnership between:
AND 
Thank editions Bragelonne Livraddict and allowing me to receive the following Lamentation of which I had already received through them, and whose post is here . I have really enjoyed this first volume, but I must say that Song is even better, even stronger.
The novel is always built the same way as before with an alternation of the characters and their situation. We thus find all the characters we followed in Lament! Rudolfo, Jin Li Tam Tam Li Vlad, Petronus, Neb. ... We also monitors new winters as we had discovered in the previous volume through the eyes of particular Neb.
It also sees the emergence of many new characters relatively large. Some are rather obscure and there will certainly be more on them in the following novels.
Song is faster than Lamentation, because there is no need to make this presentation of the characters and the setting up of the situation. It begins a few months after the end of the previous book. And the action starts right away, and the least we can say is that it starts strong.
entire plot of this book as the first revolves around the concept of invisible plot. We discover more things about why and how all these events. Some revelations are sensational and really surprising. The least we can say is that Ken Scholes knows his audience with surprise twists at the least unexpected.
The plot is really involved, there is no dead time of passage where one might get bored. Even the passages "calm" are captivating and fascinating. The situations are really well fed, and the reactions of characters not always what one might expect. I am surprised one or two occasions yelling at the characters, it proves just how I got into the novel.
My favorite character is undoubtedly Tam Li Jin, a strong woman who must cope with many things and yet still proud and dignified (funny detail and unimportant, it is described as being red, and yet in my head I imagine with intense black hair).
Parts with Vlad Li Tam, embarrassed me by cons, but I think it was voluntary on the part of the author, to create unease.
In the end, Ken Scholes sign again a very very good book it is difficult to close and leave once it has started.
