Good Book

Love this series.... Any book that can make you laugh is a good read. Now I am waiting for the next ones, to find out how this story ends.

Another enchanting story by Ms. Johnson

Evanor lost his voice when he saved his sister-in-law from an attack. Now he is a mage without power, because he is a voice mage. His last hope is the healer Mariel, who promised to follow her friend Serina to Nightfall together with her son. Evanor has the feeling that she might also be his destined bride, but he has to wait and see about this. As if his worries about his voice aren't enough, the council of Katan comes to the island to stir up new trouble for the brothers and their mates. Ms. Johnson delivers with each book a real keeper and THE SONG is no exception. It's like Ms. Johnson and her mages put a spell on their readers, because the story is absolutely enchanting and takes the reader on a journey to the isle of Nightfall. One might worry that the theme of "the meeting of a destined bride" becomes a little bit boring, but Ms. Johnson manages to give each brother it's very special story and twist in the plot. The book is the fourth book of the SONS OF DESTINY series and although it is possible to start with this one, I promise you that you will run to the next bookstore to get the first three books, because these brothers are absolutely addictive. There should be a warning label that the books are addictive. I can hardly wait to read Trevan's story "THE CAT", which will be released in June 2008 I can highly recommend THE SONG, because it is the best book of this genre that I have read in months.

Never Dissappointing!

Once again, I have dived head-first into the world of the eight Brothers of Nightfall and spent several blissful hours absorbing the magic that is Jean's storytelling. In "The Song", readers finally experience the resolution involving Evanor (the fourth-born of the Brothers of Nightfall) and his lost voice. We also meet his Destined bride, Mariel, and her son Mikor. Both characters introduced in the third book, The Master. One might think that a repetition of a theme, namely "brother meets Destined bride", would grow old by the fourth time, but not in these stories. New and fresh conflicts keep the stories interesting. I was at the edge of my seat, unwilling to put the book down, when the challenge in this book manifested. Though the story is technically about Evanor, and certainly revolves around his voice dilemma and the challenge of facing not only his Destined bride, but also getting to know her son from her previous marriage. The rest of the brothers, led by the indefatigable Kelly, struggle with finding a substitute for Evanor's magic of the Voice, which allowed communication throughout the Isle, and the threat of conflict with Katan, the nation that exiled the brothers in the first place. Ingenious ideas and unflagging spunk win the day... at least for now! "The Song", like it's predecessors, is a romantic, heartening and intriguing introduction to more of the mystical world that the Brothers of Nightfall live within. Though it brings resolution to two issues, more challenges still face the growing citizens of the small island. Introduced in "The Song" is a whole new conundrum... to whom shall the new nation turn to as a Patron Deity? I can't recommend Jean's books enough. Readers will find themselves laughing, biting their nails, crying, and screaming for more before they even reach the final chapter of "The Song". Thankfully, we know we will get more. We've still got four brothers to go, and at least two of them pose such challenges that I eagerly await seeing how the youngest, Morganen, the Mage and Matchmaker, will resolve them!

The Song ( The Sons of Destiny ) #4

Each one of these books are very good. Each carry there own story. And they can also give you a good laugh at times. I am very much waiting for the next book.

I've waited soo long for this!!!!!

This book is my favorite so far in this series!!!I loved Kelly's "Who am I" speech. That had my jumping on my bed shouting "YOU GO GIRL!!!TELL 'EM WHO YOU ARE!!!" Needless to say that bought everyone in my house to my room to see what the commotion was. Ev needed someone like Mariel to heal him. This is a must read!!!
