Book Review of Blackening Song (Ella Clah)

Blackening Song (Ella Clah)
NonExistence avatar reviewed on + 239 more book reviews


Though perhaps not as well written or complex as some of Hillerman's better works, Blackening Song was certainly a satisfying read, a little slow and plodding.

I will admit though that there are a couple of effective scary moments-- immediately spoiled by Ella's shrill insistance there is no supernatural agents involved.

It was mildly entertaining if you want a no-brainer type of book. But if you want something you can really sink your teeth into, this isn't it. The characters lack depth and the plot is hokey.
