books | Book Review: Songs of the Earth by Elspeth Cooper

Songs of the Earth is a slightly derivative high fantasy of the kind where magic users are persecuted by a pseudo-Christian capital-C Church. (I am in general not very impressed by Fantasy Pseudo-Christian Capital-C Churches. I am particularly unimpressed when it is also mentioned that the persecution is a fairly recent thing that happened after years of having magic users fighting for the Church.) Despite the persecution, the magic users do their best to protect the world from the entities that lie beyond “the Veil” in the reality next door to their own.

Our Hero is a young man named Gair, who had been training as a holy knight of the Church.
