Review

The Music Mage...promises the reader a strong female lead and adventurous pages in the wait. The novel lives up to both promises....the characters are well crafted and the plot is nicely woven deep into the mysterious world of magic, mystery, myths, and music. [The] 'happy for now' ending promises more to come from this promising new series.

I'm an author. I've been reading since I memorized the Foot Book when I was three, and writing nearly as long. I write fantasy, romantic suspense, and whatever else looks interesting.

I'm also a violinist. I've been playing and teaching music for thirty years. That's enough chatter about me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story weaving
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017

I'm just starting the second book. I'm loving the story line. My only complaint is that there has been no backstory for Allanys. She is a "failed" music teacher who felt she had no other choice but to go to another world. She said she turned down an orchestra and a playgroup to teach music. But where is her family? Does she have parents? Siblings? Anyone on Earth?

Maybe it's going to be explained later but this is a major oversight that doesn't give background for our heroine. Every other character has been given backstory. I hope Allanys is as well

Other than that... great plot and in depth characterization

Just please explain our Redeemers history

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a fun time
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024

I really do enjoy this book. It is a good time even though it does have issues, see later. I really enjoyed our hero adjacent characters a lot more than I expected though I think that is because they are very easy to follow. Even the villan has a strong sense of who they are and what they are doing. A good cast of characters all over.

Now for the not so good. Our hero is a bit of a whiner. She starts out captured in a cell with "no way out" and returns to the same cell half way through the book but escapes on her own in a way she could have at any point earlier. I would like to think that this is because she grows as a character but she then returns to whining about being a hero. It makes me wonder why you threaten the villan with being the hero then complain about being one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating story about the loss of music
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2016

This boy k caught my attention right away. And the story of a world without music starts with a kidnapping of a women from another world. This women is a musician! She sings and plays a violin and knows instruments enough to teach both a band and choir practice in her world. In her new world she has powers that music brings to her. Now she has to learn how to use it wisely

3.0 out of 5 stars There is much potential here, and I wanted very badly to love it.
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016

I rarely read a book with so few reviews, even if it free, but the sample was so well written, it sucked me in as I imagined myself in Alannys' place. Mostly I liked it, but there are places where I rolled my eyes and skimmed. There were times I found myself thinking "Reeeeallyyy? Seriously??" Great portions are really good, but often bogs down in conversations. Ms. Miller writes conversations mostly very well, but too many times I felt we could get the same information with in half the pages.

What I loved: I'm a musician and a music teacher, I teach k-12, and I'm a vocalist. I can confirm Alannys' job situation is sadly all too real. Those of us with administrators that support (non-marching band) fine arts are the lucky ones. The premise of art being power and a song can break the world--I mean, what musician wouldn't jump at that? Especially in Alannys' situation? Oh, yes, please, sign me up!

What I did not love/got on my nerves: I wish Alannys would decide what she's going to do and to be. One minute she's using her brain, the next she's a wimp. One minute she wants the truth, the next she wants to "hide from it as long as I can". She goes to great lengths to retrieve her violin, yet once she does, we never see it again? What’s up with that?

And she’s not the only one. In one moment, another character suddenly goes from blinding murderous rage to compliantly preaching tolerance. Boom. Just like that. Reeeeallyyy?

I am intrigued just enough to perhaps give the next one a go. Maybe.

The indecisiveness about who to trust when, keeps the reader on a roller coaster of emotions. Ending leaves me anxious to start the next book. Can't imagine living in any world without music. 🎼🎶🎶🎶

This was a pretty good story. I like the world she has developed. Was a good start for a series of books.I have not read the second book yet.
The characters are interesting and believable. The book has a lot going for it, interesting setting and good premise . The only suggestions I would make to the author is to expand the world some. And some of the most interesting characters that I liked were killed off. I did enjoy and will read the second book and look for more books by Sandra Miller

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a catastrophe
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
Normally I do not write a review unless I feel the book is a four or greater

The only time I will review a book that is a one is if it is wasted my time and is full of vulgar material F bombs and similar lewd content

Technically the characters are weak the plot is all over the place all Male characters, heroes included, are emasculated, mentally weak, and portrayed as emotional Simps.

The way the characters meander through the story is both mentally frustrating and depressingly unbelievable.

The best thing I can say about this book is it has a pretty girl on the front cover

This book is less than one star and I highly discourage anyone from wasting their time with it

It appears to be book one in the series but if this is the first and is indicative of those that follow I give a warning to run away

Sorry only one star for this one

The story starts promising but is to fast boring. The caraters are kind of flatt and you only want to skip pages. It is sad because the idea of the story is so good.
