The Last Musician
Ratings1
Average rating2
Kristoffer Snider is an unlikely hero: an outcast musical prodigy. But when an evil force captures the power of music to rule the world, only Kristoffer can save the day. As music disappears and the idyllic land of Greenwood begins to fall apart, Kristoffer uses his unique gift to battle the malevolent Urizen, his underling Alistair Vull, and a trio of muses who may not be what they first seem. Kristoffer must venture into the mysterious forest outside Greenwood, and with the help of new, much-needed friends, including the poet Colin Williams and his plucky granddaughter Emily, set music free, save the people he loves, and discover the secret at the heart of his very existence. By turns heart-pounding and heart-warming, The Last Musician is an adventure with heart - and a song.

I felt priviledged to receive a reviewer copy of this book.
The whole story teeters on becoming a niche classic fantasy with memorable characters, unique settings, and a shadow that lurks just behind the words that keep you wondering when the whole thing is going to spiral into a much darker experience.
If you want a quick, light, and enjoyable read then this is your book, if you are hoping for a deeper experience based upon a premise that has so much promise than you might be slightly disappointed as we never quite get there.
At times it felt as if the author got lost as to who his intended audience is. It also seemed as if alot was left on the cutting room floor.
In closing, I recommend this book as long as the reader realizes that for its problems there is a good nugget of a story in there.
