Hey Everyone!! :-)
It's the 18th again, so time for my #IndieBooksBeSeen monthly indie author book review!! Enjoy! :-)
Lifesong by Julia Blake:
A woman from another place finds herself trapped here on Earth, a place bereft of the music that unifies all living things, the Lifesong. It's hard enough to deal with losing the world she was familiar with, but dealing with the seemingly blind destructiveness of the world she finds herself in is what's truly distressing. Can she heal the sickness and help others to appreciate the beauty and majesty of the Lifesong?
I couldn't put this novella down. It's exactly the kind of story I gravitate to, sci-fi/fantasy with strong overtones of social consciousness. But the philosophy and ecological warnings are blended so seamlessly into the storyline, and the smooth-as-silk narrative flows so easily through the mind, that the reader hardly realizes they're being educated at the same time they're being entertained. Five stars; I recommend this book to anyone who loves science fiction and fantasy, music, cares about the environment, or who just enjoys beautifully written fiction.
