I read this book on my iPad--a first for me--and I have to say that the experience was like nothing I had imagined. The samples from the soundtrack blended seamlessly with the storyline. I'm not one who listens to music while I read, I like it quiet, so I was a bit skeptical. But the music was amazing and left me wanting the full soundtrack so that I could play it while I continued to read.
On the iPad enhanced version, there are also several author interviews with Dave. He is a master storyteller, teacher, and sharer of little-known facts. I enjoyed every one of his interviews and look forward to listening to them again. The artwork included was also fantastic, keep reading to see a sample.
Here's a description of the book:
Some people sing at night to driveback the darkness. Others sing to summon it. . . .
Bron Jones was abandoned at birth. Thrown into foster care, he was rejected byone family after another, until he met Olivia, a gifted and devoted high-schoolteacher who recognized him for what he really was--what her people call a"nightingale."
But Bron isn't ready to learn the truth. There are secrets that have beenhidden from mankind for hundreds of thousands of years, secrets that shouldremain hidden. Some things are too dangerous to know. Bron's secret maybe the most dangerous of all.
In his remarkable young adult fantasy debut, David Farland shows why criticshave called his work "compelling," "engrossing,""powerful," "profound," and "ultimatelylife-changing."
"Superb worldbuilding, strong characters, andDave's characteristic excellent prose. --Brandon Sanderson, #1New York Times Bestselling Author
*So aside from the enhanced effects, why did I like the book? I'm always intrigued when an author can set a story in our world, but introduce a new species. So in Nightingale, we have this inter-weaving of humans and Bron, who is the Nightingale, a baby abandoned by its species and he has wicked awesome powers.
Farland has a gift when it comes to creating characters. Each one walks off the page. We know the main characters, but we can feel the secondary characters standing next to them. The plot line is engrossing and I was rooting for several of the characters, worrying over what might happen to them.
"A wonderful tale of a young man trying to find his humanity, eventhough he's not quite human. One of Farland's very best!"--#1International Bestseller Kevin J. Anderson
