For five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the mountain. When Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she realises that the trolls are relying on her to break the curse.
Cécile has only one thing on her mind: escape. But the trolls are clever, fast, and inhumanly strong. She will have to bide her time…
But the more time she spends with the trolls, the more she understands their plight. There is a rebellion brewing. And she just might be the one the trolls were looking for…
The beginning of Stolen Songbird was intriguing but from then until around half way I found myself getting more and more frustrated with it. For some reason I was really disliking the story, the characters, the childishness of Cecil. Then I put it down and gave it a good six month break.
Upon returning to this book, I suddenly was really invested in the story again. I'm not sure what it was, but maybe when I had first tried to read this I just wasn't in the mood for this type of book?
Granted this wasn't an amazing book for me; I felt like the storyline jumped, it wasn't very smooth, one minute Cecil was doing one thing and the next she was doing the exact opposite. However, I found myself really enjoying the end of this book, I definitely will be picking up the next one.
