The second novel of the Lifesong series and oh my god it was awesome, far exceeding the first in almost every aspect. This time the story begins in Eyri, following the epic battle that was the climax to Riddler’s Gift, with Tabitha using her powers to heal those who have been injured and in doing so the people of Eyri have elevated her to a god-like stature, practically worshipping the ground she walks on and piling more and more pressure on her to heal and save everyone. In comparison to this More...

Greg Hamerton takes on the epic concept of "good vs evil" in a big way in his novel, Second Sight, the second novel in his series Tale of the Lifesong. This novel is beautifully written, a little on the "flowery prose" side at times for me. However I know others enjoy that, so its not necessarily a bad thing. I simply prefer a more "simply" written book. Second Sight contained some of the most amazing world building, and the chararacters were compelling as well. Tab More...

To me the tale of the life song is more than just a story. It is a vivid path that Greg takes us on in his exploration of how life and magic work, that forces us to broaden our insight and our awareness of our surroundings, of time and of life itself.

To demonstrate this I would like to share two quotes. The first is from Second Sight - "she could appreciate the rhythm and harmonic resonance of life. It formed a single song: the lifesong." " The lifesong was like a fluid More...

I hadn't read Greg's first book of this series The Riddler's Gift so I decided to read this first. These books aren't normally something I would read, a little meatier going than my normal preference but I really enjoyed them. I will defetly read the next book in this series. I don't think it has made me want to read more sci fi but more Greg Hamerton.
Second Sight carries on from the battle in The Riddler's Gift starting in a place called Eryi, which is trying to rebuild itself after the b More...

From my FBC review;

"Tabitha Serannon can perform miracles of healing, yet people are dying in her hands. A prophecy points a crooked finger beyond Eyri and Tabitha must abandon her followers to rescue the source of her power. Every step takes her farther into the terrors of Oldenworld, but she must liberate the essence of life before it is corrupted by chaos. This is no game: a traitor lurks among the wizards, a ruthless enemy hunts her with whips of wildfire and she could lose More...

For me at times the story was too divided. Too many people in too many places. Really didn't care what was going on with Bevn. I'm hoping for a third book in the series.

Brilliant! You get quite desperate for the characters at times! Great read. Hope we don't have to wait another 3 years for the next installment.
