From Amazon:
Dindi and Umbral have an uneasy truce, forced to work together to defeat a greater enemy: the Bone Whistler. The Bone Whistler’s scheme to sacrifice humanity and resurrect the Aelfae will culminate during an eclipse on the spring equinox…in three days.
Their fragile alliance may not withstand the terrors they face. Dindi hides as a clown, but even disguised, her dancing draws the eye of the Bone Whistler himself. She will have to defy him alone, for Umbral has his own troubles.
Finnadro, who has hunted Umbral for a year, finally catches up with him… determined to punish Umbral for all his black deeds.
Life and death, spring and autumn, human and faery, are all reeling out of balance, and the next three days will determine the fate of all Faearth.

About the author
Tara Maya
138 books175 followersTara Maya has lived in Africa, Europe and Asia. She's pounded sorghum with mortar and pestle in a little clay village where the jungle meets the desert, meditated in a Buddhist monastery in the Himalayas and sailed the Volga river to a secret city that was once the heart of the Soviet space program. This first-hand experience, as well as research into the strange and piquant histories of lost civilizations, inspires her writing. Her terrible housekeeping, however, is entirely the fault of pixies.

OMG! I have to say I LOVE this series!!! I’ve been drawn in since the first book and have yet to be disappointed. Since this is the 6th book in the series if you haven’t read any of them you might not want to read this one. There will be spoilers, if not for the book, then for the series itself. As for the rest of you there will probably be spoilers for book six following but it can’t be helped and I’ll try to limit them to the bare minimum.
Let me start by saying that the world of Faearth that Tara Maya has created is amazing! With each book it keeps getting better and better! Seriously awesome! Every book has taken the reader to a new place in her world and each one is just as interesting as the last.
Her characters are amazing too! I have my faves, of course, but all of them are amazingly well woven into the story. While they all grow or change in some way they also all stay true to themselves, even when they have a complete life changing event. They don’t just change between books for no reason.
As for the story itself…there are soooo many parts of this book that I have been waiting for FOREVER!!! I won’t go into detail because I promised…but….let’s just say that I was right all along! *happy dance* Sorry there was something I had thought was true all along but the author story had led me to believe it wasn’t, and I’m happy I was right. Also it looks as if Dindi is finally getting within sight of her happy ending. I know that the story will eventually end and that there are quite a few more books left in it so she won’t get it any time soon, but still she is finally getting to show who she truly is.
Ok. I know this is just mainly me raving about a book without telling too much about it, but I can’t go into detail or I will just spill a whole bunch of spoilage all over. All I can say is if you haven’t started this series yet go pick up the first two books. (You have to have them both or it will just be annoying, trust me) I can’t wait for the next book I love seeing how the author has woven all her books together and where she is taking Dindi and the rest of her world.

Blood is the sixth book in The Unfinished Song Series by Tara Maya. It marks the middle of the series as a whole.
I am always sucked into Dindi's world whenever I read this series and have always found the description of the dancing, tamas, and general tribal culture interesting.
Blood continues in the same vein as the rest of the series, following Dindi through the trials that she is facing. This book opens where #5, Wing, left off, in the caverns where Umbral and Dindi have found strange cocoons. It continues with their adventures in Orange Canyon and we get to meet up with several familiar faces as Dindi tries to help the Aelfae. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the next one, will memories be restored? What are the Blue and Purple tribes up to?

Amazing! I don't know how Tara manages to do it, but keeps writing amazing books. The stories grow more complex, the subplots are running all over the place; but she pulls it off in a way that keeps you intrigued to the minute details without getting confused about everything going on. I can't believe we are already and only halfway through! I want more and more yet I want to know how everything will end.
The character development grows continuously more intense and complex and I grow more and more vested into their lives.
It's an amazing book and I honestly don't know how someone who has read them all could find them lacking. They contain everything; suspense, adventure, complex characters and interesting storylines. I can't wait to read more.

I've been dragging out finishing this last one not because it isn't great, but because it's the most current one in the series that is available and I'm lost without Dindi and Kavio... 6 more books supposedly coming in the series and I will be watching intently to see when #7 hits amazon.com... Until then... sigh... I will have to wait, which I hate. Such a fantastic series! It's officially made it into my top 10 series of all time. I feel like I can actually hear the war drums and the feel the fairy magic at work when I read this series. Yep, it's that good. I'm blubbering a little and was honestly more than a little frustrated I couldn't just dig into #7 when I finished #6 last night. C'est la vie. Message to Tara Maya: Hey, hurry up already. ;)

it took me awhile to get into this one. I love the series but this one didn't focus on Dindi as much as I would like it too. Hindi found some truths but didn't use her power much. I'm glad about Umbral... won't say anything else about that.

Wow! That was pretty good. It's about time Dindy. I won't go into it but its is by far the best book of the series why did it have to take so long?

Trust gets more difficult in this installment-- hopefully more clarification and solving happens soon, no more stalling. Give Dindi her place and peace amongst the clans.
