Stolen Songbird by Danielle L. Jensen is the story of the lost
city of Trollus. It was believed that a
long time ago, an earthquake buried and destroyed this ancient city; however,
the myths also include the trolls that lived within the city. For
centuries the city remained buried, the magic of the Trolls slowly faded from
history, but a prophecy has been put into play.
Cecile has always wanted a fancy and free life of a singer, much like
her famous mother. On her last day
before she leaves to the big city with her mother, in order to begin her
training, Cecile encounters Luc, who abducts her and brings her into the
mythical city of Trollus. The prophecy
in place: a daughter of sun and son of dark bound by marriage will break the
centuries old curse and bring Trollus back on the map. Cecile has been bought by the Troll King for
his son, for she will be bound to him and will break the curse (no pressure),
against her will.
Secrets, Trolls, witches, curses, love, and conspiracy all
play a part in this book. I frankly
loved the setting, descriptions of Trollus, and the romance. Also, I see what the author is doing with the
secrets of the Trolls… I see what you did there and I like it. I cannot wait to see how this unravels, and I
want more Cecile and Tristan!!!
4 out of 5 stars.
Thank You NetGalley!
