I received a free copy of this book through Goodreads First Reads.
Wow! I'm more than a little speechless after reading this book. Chantress is the incredibly captivating story of a 15 year old named Lucy who finds out she is something forbidden: a Chantress. Her voice has power to sing things to enchantment. But the Lord residing over London wants to take her out, because she is the only one who can defeat him. Throw in an adorably torn guy named Nat, secondary characters that capture your heart, and a plot that will leave you breathless, and you have the magic that is Chantress.
From the first chapter, I couldn't put this book down. It reads very quickly, and the plot keeps you up at night to finish reading it. I think this is the first in a series, and if so, I cannot wait to find out what happens in the sequel. If you like historical fantasy, or if you have decent taste in books at all, you should pick this book up as soon as possible.
