The Lark and the Wren (Bardic Voices, Book 1)

Rating:
Summary: Great book with both good storyline and likeable characters.
Review: What do you do if you are a girl with music in your soul in a land where only men can be musicians? If your name is Rune, you outfiddle a ghost, disguise yourself as a boy, learn music from a bookseller -- and when you are beaten by the Musicians' Guild you find a way to go on. Lackey's _The Lark and the Wren_ is filled with magic, high adventure, action and romance. In her Alanda universe, Lackey (best known for her Valdemar series) creates a world filled with people that fans of fantasy will want to visit frequently. Highly recommeded for all serious fanstasy readers.
