4.0 out of 5 stars Clever follow up, Nov 19 2001
By Kali (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
As a sequel to Shapechangers (the first in the series), I think Jennifer Roberson did a fairly good job in keeping interest and the plot going. I like it that she wrote this book in the first person - it created some changes with the first book. However, i think the story was too much focused on Carillon. THe book was written from his POV, and although some scenes were very well done, I wanted to hear more of Alix's story. Shapechangers, which is definitely my favorite in the Cheysuli series, made me love Alix's character, and that she was almost a side character and of only minor importance (except at the end) in this book bothered me. But overall, I thought this was a good book - there are some unexpected plot twists and changes which make you keep reading, despite how much you like or dislike the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good book, April 21 2001
By Alicca (MA, USA) - See all my reviews
The sequal to Shape Changers, The Song of Homana is a very good read. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say that it's really good, and not confusing. If you like this book you should also read Sword Dancer, which is also by Jennifer Roberts, but takes place in a differnt world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty standard, enjoyable, easy fantasy reading, Aug 29 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 02 Song Of Homana (Paperback)
Roberson doesn't break much new ground in this book. The characters and plot are standard fantasy material; a young prince intending on reclaiming his usurped throne; an evil sorcerer standing in the way; the beautiful, haughty daughter of the usurper. These, however, are not criticisms. I didn't want to stop reading. Roberson takes these standard themes and employs them expertly, and even manages to introduce a few twists. What's lacking in originality is made up for by the detail and the slow, steady development of characters. In the fantasy genre, I would not go so far as to call this a classic, but Roberson's unique use of such typical themes puts it on a special level apart from the other cliches.
