Song of Echoes #3
Sea of Souls
Elodi's voice carried across the plain. ‘We are the defenders of the Five Realms! This is our land. The enemy before you have no right to trample our fields, burn our villages, and enslave our loved ones.’ She drew her sword and held it high. ‘This is where we hold the line. This is where we drive them back!’
As the people of the Five Realms suffer following the disaster at the Caerwal Pass, their enemy grows stronger. It is only a matter of time before the dark forces surge south, but Lord Kernlow is unprepared and unwilling to listen to Elodi's pleas to act.
Nyomae discovers a secret concealed deep within the Maiden's Song that could turn the tide. But as Toryn and Elodi learn how to master their innate powers, Nyomae has an impossible choice to make.
Sea of Souls is the third book in the epic fantasy series, Song of Echoes.

About the author
R.E. Palmer
11 books45 followersAs an avid reader from an early age, I've always enjoyed books (and also the films of my favourite books). Whilst I read a wide range, I tend to lean toward science fiction, fantasy and historical (with a military angle).
I first wrote short stories in my early twenties, and although I've long since lost them, I can still recall most of the details as if I'd done them yesterday - in fact, a few ideas I had back then surface in my first book, Sky.
Away from writing, I run at least five times a week (usually with my dog), and will often amuse myself with ideas for stories. Sometimes they're based on what I see on my run, other times they just come out of the blue. Once I have an idea, I let it roll around in my head for a week or two and see what happens.
The test comes when I'm falling asleep. If I find the idea coming back and taking shape just before I drop off - then I know it's a goer. I get all flashes of inspiration in that wonderful moment when you start to drift, and suddenly your thoughts don't seem entirely your own - hence the first line in my first novel Sky :0)

Sea of souls
What a good read with battle's that are up there with Tolkien and James Herbert's Dune series and even the wheel of time books but it's not all doom and gloom there is some humour and human stories even a reference to a track from a Led Zeppelin album what do more do you want from a writer from the West Midlands

The author provided me with a free ebook, but this review is my honest opinion.
You can read my previous reviews for books 1 and 2 in the Song of Echoes series, because I'm going to simply echo my thoughts from before. I feel R. E. Palmer has knocked it out of the park with great success giving us book 3 in the series. It feels like classic fantasy and I love it. Great character arcs. Intriguing situations.
I highly recommend this book and this series to fans of epic fantasy.

I was delighted to be a beta reader for this book. Having enjoyed the first two books,
I was looking forward to reading the third volume. It was even better! The story continues, not always as expected and the characters develop in to their roles. I particularly like the way that parts of the Five Realms history is filled in, clarifying parts of the previous volumes, but also raising more questions. This is far from the end of the story!

I was really looking forward to this, but much careless editing made for a frustrating read, however good the plot and the rest of the writing. I'm such a grammar pedant that these kind of details really throw me. So sorry, only 3 stars.

Sea of Souls
This is an amazing series, and each book just gets better. Our heroes keep fighting the good fight and slowly defeating the evil trying to defile the realms. I can't wait to read the final book!

Even better
Honestly the details that have gone into this book its chefs kisses. The descriptions you know exactly who where and when and what for. It's just brilliant. Can't wait to see how Toryn and Elodi connect even better.

Definitely action packed. I'm not overly afraid of spiders or at least I wasn't until now. I sure hope I don't dream about them.

Oh thank god that book is over! It was just one long battle from beginning to end, and the final battle was almost too much to endure. 3 stars just because if you like this sort of thing, it's pretty well written and not full of misspellings and such that I can't stand. Kudos to the proofreaders, to the author not so much.
