HOWSOMEVER, this production of The Bird and the Sword is nothing short of breath-taking. But, hey! It's Amy so it's going to be good. So, when I learned of her foray into fantasy, I was a bit taken aback. Overall, this was an entertaining book, and I can completely understand all the 5-star reviews, but it just didn't quite come across as "epic" for me. she came across a little too melodramatic for my tastes either that, or it was her cadence that struck me as odd and distracted me a bit. I listened to the Audible audio version of this book narrated by Trina Nishimura, and while she has all the characteristics I look for in a narrator - good pacing, unique character voices, etc. I still found it entertaining, and I'm glad to have read it, but I don't think I would ever pick it up again. I think this book has some really great aspects to it, but despite that, I had a hard time getting into it. I also liked King Tiras, but for some reason, the romance between the two did not do much for me, but it did have occasional moments. I really liked the character of Lark, who was kind and compassionate, and always eager to learn. This book had a really magical and poetic feel to it.
