Please be patient with the fewer and far-between posts....we have a new 'half' born in April and things are slow as we adjust and try desperately for more sleep. (It's a girl!)

The Singer of All Songs, by Kate Constable

The Singer of All Songs, by Kate Constable
YA, 2004

Calwyn has the power of ice-call, the ability to sing to manipulate ice. When her and the priestesses of her homeland of Tarsis have their ice-wall breached by an outlander, it brings an adventure that restless Calwyn seems to have been waiting for.
Raspberry: I've been meaning to read this book, as it seems like a similar style to Tamara Pierce or Alison Croggon. I enjoyed the tale of adventure and if it seemed to drag in areas, each scene still had a purpose. The idea of singing or chanting to create magic was a fascinating idea, and never at any time was it predictable.
Graded a B.
