From the book description, I really wasn’t sure what to expect when reading “Singer.” The narrative moves back and forth between two different parties endeavoring to reach the center of the “Nameless City,” each with a mysterious girl who sings and is unsure of her purpose, but feels a strong “pull” toward the city.
From the prologue, you get a glimpse of the destruction and danger lurking in the center of the Nameless City and how it is intricately tied to machines. The random appearance of various machines was slightly predictable, while adding a twist to the storyline and consistently moving the plot along. However, the machines being such a focal point to the story made me wonder what the author, Brigid Collins, was trying to say about technology in our world (if anything). I may be reading too much into the metaphor and trying to find substance and meaning in what is simply a fun and easy read. Overall, it’s a good, quick read for young adult sci-fi and fantasy bookworms.

This was an interesting blend of technology and magic. It's unusual to see a world where the better technology is old and unknown. The twist near the end was a wonderful surprise, but didn't come completely out of no where. It was a fun read. I just wish it had a little more meat to it!
