For a while, I kept getting books that started out strong from the gate, but then lost steam halfway through and fizzled out. Unfortunately, this is one of those books.The character, Senna, started out as a strong, believable character. I loved that her courage was not too obvious and was tempered with curiosity and worry for the unknown. She had me right up until after she met the boy who was supposed to help her. She gets so angry at her mother for not trusting and keeping secrets and then she goes and does the exact same thing.
It went downhill from there. I mean, Senna spends years "training" to fight the evil witch at the end and what did we get? They sang songs and threw some seeds.
The only character I liked at all in the story was Joshen, and there were times when I wanted to tell him to stop wasting his time on Senna. I really hate weak characters and this story is filled with them. What happened to books where females are SMART?

I like the world that the author created and the new twist on witches and the use of their power. I lost interest as I learned more about the ho-hum main character that was supposed to find a way to defeat an all powerful witch that all the other most powerful witches could not defeat. The main character does not seem to learn or grow from her supposed hardships on the journey she takes to become a witch. Everything seemed to just fall into her lap- a boy protector, a servant frog man, her magic... And while these are singing witches, there just seemed to be a lot of hiding except when it was convenient for the main character. This story just did not work for me. I had a hard time believing that the predecessor good witches were unable to defeat the villain but the main character just read a few of their books over a few months to gain her power while the villain waited patiently.
This book was interesting on a variety off levels. Some good, some bad. Overall, the book was a good read. The action of the book was a little hard to read just because it seemed too uncoordinated and not enough drama for the moment. The romance of the book was dry to me. I'm not sure if that was on purpose or not. I understand the point of the book was witch survival, which I liked.
The main character does well in learning where she comes from and understanding where and what she has to do. At times it seems as if she is a child but then she says or does something that makes me believe she is a teenager. But she learns what needs to become and sets out on her journey of growth discovery. Loved that.
I did enjoy the book enough to download the next book in the series. Overall, a good solid start to the series.
Witch Song #1
It's hard to find witch books that aren't just magic wands and fluff. This one was woven from the four pagan elements of light, water, earth and plants. I didn't know if I'd like it at first because I didn't care for the immaturity of the main character. After a short reading time she grew up a bit from the loss of her witch mother and matured as her situations forced her to make difficult choices for the sake of others. All the characters were really well defined and very imaginative. I appreciated the vivid descriptions of the environment and working of spell songs. I think I knew I was won over the first time she could talk to animals. (Always wanted to do that!) Being a horse person, I am hoping to read of a happy reunion between man and horse in the next book. I'm one of those people who will worry for the animals safety in a book, (or movie) rather than the people. Anyway, good first book. Now to the next!
Witch Song (Witch Song #1) by Amber Argyle is such a deep and exciting book, I was taken by surprise at how wonderful it was. Looking at the cover I thought it might be a nice cozy witch story, oh no it is not! It is a strong story with powerful witches, a twisting and rich plot, lots of colorful characters, mysteries, adventure, action, magic, strange creatures, a touch of romance, and so much more. I had to stay up all night to finish it! Lots of twist, turns, shape shifting, good vs evil, suspense, and awesome fantasy. I KNOW better than judge a book by the cover, I am not a young kid, and this book is proof, this is a book of power, magic, mayhem, and wonder. What a great job! I have got to read book 2 now! (When I can afford to lose more sleep, lol)
I have read all of the books in this series and have to totally disagree with the review by Seawitch. I know we all have our own opinions but wow, I'm not sure if Seawitch was sleepy, in a bad mood or what, but I found all of the books in this series great. I couldn't wait to read the next book and even liked the ending of the entire series. I mean it felt like it came to the kind of conclusion you would hope for the characters. I really just found the series completely enjoyable. As far as a strong female character, I totally respected Brussena. Yes she was angry with her mother for keeping secrets from her, and yes she kept secrets from people, but these were people she didn't know, she shouldn't have trusted. As for the witches just singing and making plants grow, I have to admit I found this pretty creative and an interesting way for the witches to do their will, so to speak instead of the more mundane activity of throwing frog warts and eels into a boiling pot of green looking water. I could go on and on, I guess my message is if you like adventure, creativity, and watching a character grow into her own please give these books a chance, I truly believe you won't be disappointed. I also mean no offense to the reviewer Seawitch, which I found strange for someone not liking the book to use a name from the ship in the book, lol
