Book Review: D. Barkley Briggs' The Songs of Unmaking

  For some reason when I saw this book was available to review it vaguely caught my attention, and something vaguely catching me is never a good start.  I'm going to say that if you've read the first two books then you might jump right into this one, so my review can't be a full deterrence from reading.
  This is the synopsis from Goodreads: He was once the greatest champion in the land. Then he disappeared. With Nemesia's defeat, the Barlows have helped turn the tide in the Hidden Lands. But the victory is short-lived. An even greater evil stirs in the north with a fierce new army bent on destruction. As the twins, Gabe and Garret, discover their own special powers, a thin thread of hope emerges.
   It was so difficult for me to follow this book that I couldn't even write a good synopsis myself.  I'm going to blame it mainly on the fact that fantasy just hasn't ever interested me much. I know that it is a huge genre, and most people who write seem to stay in that genre.   I see what is so attractive and intriguing about the genre, but I'm still searching to read that staple book of it. 
   Anyways, I think if I had read the first two books I would have enjoyed this one much better.  If you're a fan of fantasy then I recommend checking out the whole series especially if you're young adult since this is the target audience.  You can check out the book at Amazon.
