Caroline Oresteia is destined for the river. For generations, her family has been called by the river god, who has guided their wherries on countless voyages throughout the Riverlands. At seventeen, Caro has spent years listening to the water, ready to meet her fate. But the river god hasn’t spoken her name yet—and if he hasn’t by now, there’s a chance he never will.
Caro decides to take her future into her own hands when her father is arrested for refusing to transport a mysterious crate. By agreeing to deliver it in exchange for his release, Caro finds herself caught in a web of politics and lies, with dangerous pirates after the cargo—an arrogant courier with a secret—and without the river god to help her. With so much at stake, Caro must choose between the life she always wanted and the one she never could have imagined for herself.
From debut author Sarah Tolcser comes an immersive and romantic fantasy set along the waterways of a magical world with a headstrong heroine determined to make her mark.
Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser
I really admired that this author was able to keep me speculating and invested in these impressive characters and story.
The the main character was a delight and refreshing character. She’s a 17-year-old that’s energetic, powerful and would do anything to save her family. My students loved every part of this epic story. It’s an excellent fantasy, filled with action. Where a strong girl kicks pirates butts along with following her heart.
There is a light-hearted romance that was marvelous. But that doesn’t take away from the story.Song of the Current is full of action packed scenes, to epic twists that you never saw coming. This story will keep you at the edge of your seat, throughout the whole story. Like one of my students said, “ That was freaking cool!”
If you haven’t read or heard of this book yet, then you should definitely amend that. ASAP!! Because trust me, you don’t want to miss the awesomeness of Song of the Current. This book was satisfying, remarkable, with some witty bantering and two main characters that you could not possibly not love.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. My students and I were left expecting more but we were satisfied with the ending. An ending that definitely has the potential for a kick-ass sequel. We need a spin-off or a continuation, something, anything! *hint-hint*
Basically, READ THIS BOOK!!
