On Amazon they like this book to Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, all I have to say to this is; not even close. In Name of the Wind the beautifully written words jump out at you and the dialog flowed smooth, here in Songs of the Earth...not so much. Don't get me wrong, Songs of the Earth did have some sun through the clouds moments where a sentence shined or the dialog was witty but it's missing something. I am a huge fan of British authors with Kate Griffin's Madness of Angels getting a five star rating and I loath to say it but I missed the crispness, the sharp wit that I find in British writing.
