Song of Earth and Claws (Faelands Series) by Lena Abram – Review by Kerry Carr

Song of Earth and Claws by Lena Abram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really entertaining fantasy read. It contains everything you would expect from a fantasy adventure, fantasy beings, danger, excitement, enemies from far and wide and some even closer to home, and romance. In this story there is also family angst and drama as it felt to me that all of Lannahi’s siblings were constantly waiting for the moment to turn against her and stab her in the back.

Lannahi wants to make her own way in the world. She doesn’t want to be under someone else rule for the rest of her life so to do that she needs to either take over someone else’s kingdom or create her own. However that isn’t as simple as it sounds as even the parts not under the control of a ruler still have their own supernatural beings who aren’t to happy to have someone trying to take control over them.

So now Lannahi has to gather people around her to help her succeed in this game and progress herself further so she can become a ruler. But with everyone wanting the same thing can she really trust the people around her or are they just using her as a stepping stone to get ahead in the game.

The author goes into a lot of detail that really brings the world to life however for me I got a bit lost with the Game. I felt it wasn’t explained as well as it could have been whereas other aspects of the story were explained in greater depth.

Overall it was an enjoyable read which a strong female character which I love and I am excited to see what else the author has planned for this fantasy world.
