I liked it, but it also had a weird hollowness to it that I am having a hard time putting into words.

I’m actually not sure how I feel about it overall I would say that it is the weakest entry in the series, but there are also elements I really liked, and I was engaged by it through its entire 300 pages. I had very mixed reactions to Soulsong, the final book in CL Polks Kingston Cycle. At the same time, she has to face her long-bottled feelings for the childhood love that vanished into an asylum twenty years ago.Ĭan Robin find happiness among the rising tides of revolution? Can Kingston survive the blizzards that threaten, the desperate monarchy, and the birth throes of democracy?

But when Grace Hensley comes knocking on Clan Thorpe’s door, Robin’s days of hiding are at an end. Assassinations, deadly storms, and long-lost love haunt the pages of this thrilling final volume.įor years, Robin Thorpe has kept her head down, staying among her people in the Riverside neighborhood and hiding the magic that would have her imprisoned by the state. Polk concludes her riveting Kingston Cycle, a whirlwind of magic, politics, romance, and intrigue that began with the World Fantasy Award-winning Witchmark. Read Witchmark and Stormsong and wanted those main plots continued.Series where every book is relatively contained.Book Three in the Kingston Cycle ( see my review of Book Two, Stormsong)
