The Singer and Her Song (Empire at Twilight Book 2) by N.L. Holmes – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Singer and Her Song by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging historical fiction novel set in the kingdom of Mitanni. Uqnitum is a singer from a famous musical lineage but the fall of their city to the Assyrians costs her the life of both her husband and her youngest child. Along with her widowed daughter who is pregnant they flee to the court of Ugarit. However Uqnitum feels guilty over her part in her husband’s death and this affects her increasingly unhinged personality and she becomes dangerous. This is a wonderfully written and detailed novel, the narrative brings both the time period and the setting alive. The main characters are likeable and the storyline has enough going on in it to keep the reader happily turning the pages.
