5.0 out of 5 stars An intricate and beautiful novel, 9 Feb 2004
By Marie Lambert (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Songspinners (Paperback)
Songspinners is to be recommended to any lover of fantasy novels. I came to Sarah Ash's work having read only children's fantasy, with no experience of fantasy writing for adults, and I was very pleasantly surprised by just how much of a compulsive read it was. It combines the imagination of children's fantasy with the adult themes of intolerance, death, love and sex, it tells a fascinating and compulsive story and couches it all in rich and beautiful language.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, pleasant fantasy with a refreshingly original setting., 31 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This is a pleasant fantasy novel, fresh in setting though not in plot. The main character is engaging: a plucky young woman. The setting has a number of original, vaguely European details. The love of music, pleasant characters and a well-described world make for a pleasing book.
