Fantasy Books where Singing is Featured (53 books)

I love fantasy books that involve singing- I love imagining what the song might sound like, using the author's descriptions.
It is not sufficient to have "song" or "singing" in the title. The act of "singing" has to be important and prominent in the story. "Archangel" is perfect example for the list.

Please add to the list! I am always on the hunt for more books with singing.
