Windsinger (The Darkhaven Novels, Book 3) Kindle Edition

by A. F. E. Smith (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 33 ratings
The third instalment in the Darkhaven series.
 
Ayla Nightshade prepares to meet with the Kardise ambassador to sign a treaty between Mirrorvale and Sol Kardis. However, negotiations are halted as the ambassador is discovered dead in his chambers, poisoned by the same bottle of taransey he and Ayla had shared the night before.
 
Ayla has been framed for murder and the peace between two kingdoms is at stake. Tomas Caraway and his Helmsmen must rush to prove her innocence before war destroys all they have fought for.
 
Along the way they discover the plans for a Parovian airship, the Windsinger, which reveal a chamber designed for a special cargo: a living one.
 
Together Ayla and Tomas set out to uncover their real enemies - a search that will lead them closer to home than they ever anticipated.

Review

"Windsinger is a tense, exciting continuation of one of the most entertaining series I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Smith's writing is powerfully emotive (it had me shedding tears in more than one place) and her storytelling has rapidly evolved from good to great to WOW." - Fantasy-Faction

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A.F.E. Smith is an editor of academic texts by day and a fantasy writer by night. So far, she hasn't mixed up the two. She lives with her husband and their two young children in a house that someone built to be as creaky as possible - getting to bed without waking the baby is like crossing a nightingale floor. Though she doesn't have much spare time, she makes space for reading, mainly by not getting enough sleep (she's powered by chocolate). Her physical bookshelves were stacked two deep long ago, so now she's busy filling up her e-reader.

What A.F.E. stands for is a closely guarded secret, but you might get it out of her if you offer her enough snacks.

    Ayla's and Thomason adventures make for a gripping read. I could hardly lay it down to sleep, and was ready for more the next day. A grand adventure.

    I feel like this series has become richer as it goes on. A lot of the things the characters said resonated with me. Also, I'm rather fond of the character of Naeve Sorrow, so I was pleased to see her get some playing time. This is a good series, and I'm pleased to have been introduced to it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Windsinger
    Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018
    Format: Paperback
    Windsinger is a really good and tense third book in the Darkhaven series. It is full of politics, action, murder and an intriguing story. However, it did feel slow to start but really picks up towards the middle of the book.

    I really liked the way Ayla has grown and is able to balance all aspects of her life and is still able to be a wife and mother as well as a ruler and defender. Caraway lacks confidence and that all of who he is down to luck not skill or his instincts. However, I found Miles to be the most interesting character as I really felt for him and the dilemma he found himself in.

    I really enjoyed this book and I hope there will be more books in the Darkhaven series in the future. I would recommend Windsinger to fans of the previous books in the Darkhaven series, Darkhaven and Goldenfire.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you enjoyed the rest of the series then this is an excellent next book to carry on with!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2017

    If you haven’t read the first in this series, Darkhaven, please do. Then read the second (Goldenfire). Then read this. It’s suspense, mystery, war…Smith broadens the world beyond the confines of Darkhaven’s city walls, plunging the city into the middle of international politics and showing what having a Changer as ruler of Mirrorvale really means. It’s got some unexpected twists, and the end is definitely tense – I wasn’t in any doubt over the outcome, but there’s always a knife-edge moment of “will they…will they?” that makes the story brilliant. There’s some moments of brilliant humour as well – how do you keep a baby quiet when you’re in the middle of a fight? – and some proper pangs of “ohhhhh”. It’s an excellent read.

    I absolutely love the way this world and series has developed – the world is unique, unusual, yet familiar enough that we settled in without questions. The characters are fabulous; I love seeing them develop and change over the course of the books, and now – well, no spoilers, but we get to see more of the background and history of some of the inhabitants of the castle, and more of the new recruits that joined the Helm. I’m loving Ree’s development and seeing her progress through the Helm, and her difficulties in this book are in a bit of a different area to the ones she’s used to dealing with!

    I’m hoping that we see more of Lewis Tarran amongst other characters – I want to see more of the children, too, as Wren in particular looks like she’s going to be quite a challenge. There’s also a fun development at the end involving Naeve Sorrow which looks like it could provide some entertainment…

    If you enjoyed the rest of the series then this is an excellent next book to carry on with, and I’m looking forward to the continuation!

    Loved the trilogy. Reading it now for the third time. I wanted to live again in the world, follow the characters, see them fail, make mistakes and ultimately triumph.

    I haven't been able to read much since the advent of Covid 19, however, this trilogy cured me completely. I loved the characterisation, and I have to say that the unveiling of the bad guys in the second and third books took me completely by surprise. That doesn't often happen. Looking forward to another book by this talented author.
