Story
The truth is neither plain nor simple. Sable, a reluctant thief from the slums, can feel truth when people speak. For years she’s been using that skill to try to break free from the vicious gang boss to whom she's indebted. Escape comes in the form of an odd set of companions: a dwarf running from the past, an actor with a magical, glowing tree, a too-helpful kobold, a playwright with a knack for getting stories out of people, and a man and woman with suspicious, magical powers. But Sable’s freedom is short lived.

Story
Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Fel'annár is a gifted immortal warrior embarking on his first patrol into the Deep Forest. Half-Silvan, half-Alpine, he battles the enemy from without, and the prejudice from within. But he learns more than just warfare when an arcane power begins to emerge, one he cannot control. While friendships are forged, a destiny unfolds, one that is tied to a past he knows nothing about. For others, though, it is only a matter of time before the truth is revealed, and the danger becomes real.

However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be.

Infused with magic, shadows and starlight, the powerful godblades were believed to be lost nearly half a millennia ago, when the Godswar ended. Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove. The only question is whether he controls the blade or the blade him. With an insidious evil lurking in the shadows, the answer may very well determine the fate of all Kingfall.

Incredible and Impossible Quests
Everything comes to a head. All the kingdoms, even a few we haven't yet met. All the forces of evil. All of the leaders who we've come to know and love over the course of the series step up to play their role. There is a great battle. Sacrifices will be made. Lives will be lost. And finally, we learn who the minstrel is and if the one he serves is as good and as powerful as the minstrel believes he is.
It's an amazing finale. I'm sad for it to be over but blown away by how good this series was. I am ready to start reading it all over again and will be listing it among my favorite family-friendly, good-versus-evil epic fiction series.
I received a free copy of this audiobook from the narrator and have reviewed it willingly.

Epic Finale to an Epic YA Adventure
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
Minstrel's Call is the 4th (and final?) book in the Minstrel's Song series. 5 years have passed since book 3. We can start with the expected: a great threat to the world, prophecy and a quest. However this volume more than any other in the series builds on the previous volumes and expands upon them. The party is split into different locations and purposes. Battles are fought in the different planes and in different ways. Secrets and mysteries previously hinted at are given satisfying and exciting explanations. New characters are introduced and you will find yourself menaced and enchanted by them just as much as you have the previous characters.
Jenelle Leanne Schmidt has grown as a writer and this story shows her balancing a larger scope with more complex plotting and really gives each character moments to shine. The finale is fittingly epic and while this makes a very satisfying conclusion unto itself and the series as a whole, part of me hopes somewhere down the line we may revisit the world again - even if just to check in on beloved characters and see how the rising generation grows into the their own.
I fear to say anything more specific as there are plenty of thrills, surprises and tearful moments along the way. If you have read the first three books you need to read this chapter.
Benjamin Fife continues his role as narrator and brings each character to life with a unique voice and even sings several songs throughout the performance. He brings a shine to this magical gem.
There is death, loss and tragedy - so if you have younger readers make sure they are mature enough to handle that. However the book is clean of gore, sexual content or strong language.

Fantastic Finale- Highly Recommend Them!!
I absolutely loved how well this one wrapped up the series and yet there's potential should she want to continue it. I don't want to give anything away, so I'm sorry if this review comes off a bit vague. This book lost any of the predictability that there had been at times in the previous books, and then add the picked up pace as the battles intensify-- it only makes it harder to put the book down. Just be prepared for this to take a few days to get through as it is an 20 hour book.
This series is perfect for any age (clean enough for all but probably 3rd grade & up) that loves large book fantasy sagas like The Lord of the Rings, Fablehaven, The Five Kingdoms, and The Beyonders. These books really need to be read in order to get the most out of them and I will absolutely be reading them again.
The narrator does a phenomenal job as always and really is one of my favorite narrators. He just does such a wonderful job with all the voice differentiation, accents, and his overall acting is all top-notch.
