Isle of Wings by E.A. Burnett – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Isle of Wings: A Silverglen Companion Novel by E.A. Burnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isle of Wings is a vibrant fantasy novel by E.A. Burnett, a companion to Silverglen that can be read as a standalone. It’s a story with plenty of mysteries and secrets that kept me captivated until the end.
My favourite thing about this book is how music was used. Roana uses music in a number of ways, including to connect with memories of her relatives and to bond with animals. There’s even a flute involved which is a big plus for me!
There are some great characters in this book. Everyone wants something, and Roana has to try and give them what they want to get what she needs. I particularly like Xetsa, who finds cunning ways of getting into people’s heads and building her power and control.
I like how Roana and Iniko balance each other out. Roana is desperate to get away from her past and the burdens of her family, whilst Iniko cannot remember his past or most of his family and is desperate to regain his memories.
For me, this is a five-star read. It’s an exciting, magical book that I would recommend to fantasy fans, particularly those who like nautical and/or musical elements in stories!
