THIS BOOK. AAAAAAAAAAAHH.
I will be calm, I will, but... just... I have no words, okay? I’m trying to, but all my thoughts are just swirling around in my head in a kaleidescope of sweeping-fantasy-epic and happiness and character love. MY FEELS.
When I finished reading it, I made a lot of incoherent noises of happiness, and hugged my cat and my sister, and danced around, pretty much in the clouds. ^_^ And then I just wanted to curl up and hug the book (which ...more

Minstrel’s Call by Jenelle Leanne Schmidt
This is one of those series that grows on you. I liked the first book, but I wasn’t invested enough in the story yet to truly appreciate it. The author was still growing her craft and developing her characters. By the time I got to book four, I found myself completely enraptured in her world, begging for more, and saddened to realize the series had finally come to an end. What an epic, enthralling adventure.

Fourth and final installment in the Minstrel's Song series and, holy goodness, Batman.
Everything that I had issue with in the first three installments are GONE. Absolutely everything! What's left behind is nothing but one of the best, epic, sweeping, emotional, wonderful stories I've ever read. Everything finally comes together: the writing is sound; pacing is perfect; no fluff, repetition, or head-scratching moments--just pure joy and fun. Wonderfully intense battles, the magic is off the chain ...more

Okay . . . I have some thoughts. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be writing this review. My thoughts consist mostly of the following:
1) Kiernan Kane is just about the most excellent character ever. That is absolute, objective, incontrovertible fact. It's a basic fundamental. Like the existence of iguanas.
2) This conclusion to the quadrilogy was an incredibly dynamic one, to use the phraseology of today. Unfortunately, that phraseology does not carry the weight I desire, but it's too late now.

The Minstrel is missing. Brant receives a strange message from him requesting assistance. Assembling the people named in the prophecy, Brant and his friends set off to save the Minstrel—and the world—from the Dread Prince.
Even jumping in at book 4 (without having read the first three), Schmidt’s storytelling is strong enough that you’re oriented to the world rather quickly and seamlessly, barring a few info dumps. Though if I think they’re info dumps, people who have read the series fr ...more

During the days, I wrangle four small hobbits and help them along on their adventures.
Basically, I'm Gandalf.
But come evenings, when the hobbits are sleeping... I become my alter-ego: PLOT WIZARD (still a wizard, just a different kind)... and adventures await in the pages I scribble upon.
