Synopsis

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING NOVEL SHIVER"Ballad is giddy, intoxicating, and threatening all at once. ―Tamora PierceRemember us, so sing the dead, lest we remember youJames Morgan has an almost unearthly gift for music. And it has attracted Nuala, a soul-snatching faerie muse who fosters and then feeds on the creative energies of exceptional humans until they die. James has plenty of reasons to fear the faeries, but as he and Nuala collaborate on an achingly beautiful musical composition, James finds his feelings towards Nuala deepening. But the rest of the fairies are not as harmless. As Halloween―the day of the dead―draws near, James will have to battle the Faerie Queen and the horned king of the dead to save Nuala's life and his soul.Praise for Ballad:"Readers of Holly Black's Tithe (2002) or Charles de Lint's The Blue Girl (2004) will enjoy this rich foray into faerie. The book's backdrop, so firmly rooted in Celtic myth, is scary, mysterious, magical, and horrifying."―Booklist

Libros poco conocidos pero que valen mucho la pena, aquí el protagonista ahora es el amigo de la otra chica de Lamento, y su acercamiento con el enigmático mundo de las hadas fue un boom, me gustó un poco más que el otro, quizá por que el chico no tenía un pensamiento tan bobo y actuaba con más cord......more

Dear Maggie Stiefvater, You torture me. I love your writing, I love your ideas, I love your books. I DO NOT love the way you leave me hanging. I get that you have your Mercy Falls books to finish, though I think that Shiver ended fine, and I am certainly excited about those. . . BUT I NEED RESOLUTION......more

Goodreads review by Kristi on October 11, 2009

Three words; addictive, magical, & wicked. I've been eagerly awaiting this novel since the last pages of Lament. Eagerly awaiting to fulfill my craving of James, I mean! Ballad, although could be considered a sequel to Lament, is more of a companion novel. Let me just say that Ballad finally (finally......more

So I really try to love this book. But sadly I could not. It's a good book don't get me wrong but it's not my cup of tea. I mean I've been reading this book for almost two years. I wasn't going to give up on it. I just took forever to read it. But the first book was so much better. [URL not allowed]......more
