Original Post: The Singer at FLYLeF (www.flylef.com)WITH SUCH A dramatic ending in The Scribe, the only thing that kept me from immediately burying my nose in Elizabeth Hunter’s The Singer (Irin Chronicles 2) was the time it took to download it onto my Kindle. Luckily, that was only a stretch of ten minutes or so, and I was blissfully back in the Irin world.Ava lost everything she loved. Now she must find the courage and strength to continue on with a new identity and a new magic she can bar...
I like Elizabeth Hunter style of writing, and find the world building for this trilogy interesting. But good lord, this second installment , imo, was most noticeable for its repetitive information and slow pace. Plus, I was on the fence with the heroine Ava in the Scribe, but in the Singer, she did not fail to get on my nerves throughout. Not to mention MCs only met in the freaking dream world ( or say other plane whatever) in ~80% of the book. Not cool! *urg*
2.5 What Happened Stars?To say I’m disappointed would be putting it mildly. I gave the first book five starts and finished it in one sitting. I suffered through The Singer and I only finished it because I loved the first book so much.Let me tell you this, I really hate it when the couple is separated for a majority of the book. I don’t know why authors do this. Well, I do no why, it’s called a filler book. It really upset me when it happened in Twilight and yet it happened again in this series.I...
I am having a much harder time writing the review for this second installment in the Irin Chronicles, it is not because it was not amazingly good, it is more because I hardly know where to start (or where to end)We know at the end of The Scribe which was a novel of romance, danger and sacrifice that Ava was almost a broken person. In this novel we have a journey across Europe to find the Irina the females of the Irin race who have all but separated themselves from the world for their own safety....
OK, as I feared I devoured this all in one sitting. Early review on the blog tour (with giveaway), Friday, May 2nd at Yummy Men & Kick Ass Chicks. Release date is May 6th.http://yummymenandkickasschicks.com/?...This is the second book in the Irin Chronicles urban fantasy series by Elizabeth Hunter. I think like most urban fantasy, because it is one long story with appropriate stopping points, it is better and almost necessary to read the books in order. (Book one, The Scribe, is amazing and you
I did like book 1 a bit more because of where the story took place and because of the build up. Also because Ava annoyed me in this one :/So Mal is dead, no he is not. He is back and has amnesia. Being all good and well good as always. And trying to find Ava. All while Ava is in Norway missing him. No annoyance there yet, that comes when they meet. I mean honestly girl! I am gonna smack you over the head! You do not deserve him. At that point I wish he had left her.The story stagnates a bit as i...
I gave the first book in this series only two stars because I found it slow and boring although I thought some of the problem might have been the poor quality of the audio narrator. So I made sure I got hold of a print copy for this the second in the series. As it turns out this one is much, much better. It has it's slow parts but it also has a lot of happenings and some of the characters are really growing on me. I keep waiting for Ava to do something fantastically magical but I guess I have t
3.5 disappointed stars!?!I am not even going to lie, it took me a while to finish this book. It didn't even peak my interest until about 60% and even then it was meh...The constant talking in circles, and being all cryptic better be worth it or else this series will suffer like CoHo's Never Ever series....I believe this book is what people call middle child syndrome? The attempt to build a cryptic exciting mind-blowing plot to get he readers to instantly buy the next installment, when in all act...
Because Ava and Malachi’s story spans over the first three audiobooks and the overall series ARC it is necessary to listen to these in the order of their release.In The Singer, Ava is taken into hiding to live and train with the Irina. Malachi searches for her and tries to regain his memories. The story was intense, but we also learned some history about the Irina and met these strong women.Hunter mixed in some humor, passion, fear, and discovery. She kept me listening into the wee hours. Partic...
REVISED REVIEW 2019: After finally being able to jump back into this series and this world, I was able to read The Singer with fresh new eyes and it was spectacular! I couldn't recall any of my previous issues or frustrations reading it prior. Safe to say I'm glad I was able to come back to this series! ___________________________I AM FINALLY DONE OH SWEET SWEET VICTORY!Was the book good you ask? ... No it was TERRIBLEThe Singer is the second novel in the Irin Chronicles, following the journey o...
Joint review with VictoriaKarina:I loved The Singer even more than The Scribe. If the first book was tentative and spent a lot of time establishing the world-building, in the second book Elizabeth started spreading her wings. Her world expanded, her secondary characters multiplied and the plot thickened.Paranormal fantasy is the right genre to describe this book. It's not straightforward enough to be paranormal romance and it's not as full of action as urban fantasy. Instead, it follows the rout...
