Book Review of Song of the Silent Harp (Emerald Ballad, Bk 1)

Song of the Silent Harp (Emerald Ballad, Bk 1)
reviewed on


This series of five books was very well written as are all of B.J. Hoff's books, however, this series tends to go on forever giving an account of the Irish's suffering during the great famine. Sickness and death piled up one after the another, it gets so depressing. I've spent weeks reading this series and just had to talk myself into picking up book number 4. I seriously wanted to read the last few pages of these last two books and call it quits. I read to escape reality. I enjoy suspense and drama, but there has to be an end in sight. Unless you have a lot of extra time on your hands and can get through this series quickly, I recommend picking one of her other series, like Daybreak.
