An enjoyable, quick read. A tomboyish princess falls in love with a foreign suitor. Unfortunately for him, her father is a demented wizard who kills those seeking his daughter's hand.
In the first few pages of Soulstring, I was worried that I was reading another book about a spoiled princess who was going to do nothing but complain about how hard she suffered in her privileged life. But by page thirteen, I was deeply engrossed in the story of a young woman who is hated by her parents for the sin of being the firstborn and a girl. Soulstring is a high fantasy story about a young woman who has to discover a way to reclaim the magical power that has been taken from her by her fa...
A nice, quick read to the point. I enjoyed the journey and look forward to it again. It got a little weird towards the end but not unbearably so. Easy to follow and you pick up on the characters quickly.
Playing with various fairy tale and Greek mythos this story begins with the classic trope of evil sorcerer father killing the suitors for his daughter's hand.

In brief, a princess with immense (but uncontrollable) magical abilities is being held out as a prize to lure men to their death as they try to win her hand. A simple farmer finally passes all three of her evil father'...
Soulstring is a fantasy novel about Magda de'Stain, a daughter of a sorceror and heir to his power, and her attempt to escape from her father and start a new life in the land of Thall.What is pleasant about the book is that this is pretty much the plot of the story. No dark, ageless force is awakened, no worlds are saved from destruction, no timestreams are restored to their proper path; just a girl's struggle for her freedom and her life. The curse of the epic is everywhere in the fantasy genre...
3.5/5. I enjoyed the book, especially the first half. The romance moved startlingly fast, but it was fine. I think the author's skill really shined in writing siblings. There were two sets of siblings in the story and both had interesting and entertaining interactions. There were moments that were jarringly weird, and I'm not new to the Fantasy genre (like the time when *spoiler* I couldn't tell if she was going to heal a person, give birth and heal a person, or give birth to the person she was
