Taken in by the Patriarch of the Sleeping God sect upon the death of his mother when he was 6, Tamsen Fairchild, at 14, sees little in his future except being groomed as one of the Patriarch’s Watchers, whose sole purpose is to make sure that the Godder community adheres to the strictures of their religion -- no sounds above a whisper, and no inventions of any kind. But Tamsen yearns to make music, like the lullabies his mother used to sing. His greatest joy is to escape for a mark or two into the forest and try to imitate the music of the birds on his forbidden hand-made whistle.
An unexpected crisis takes Tamsen’s Patriarch to consult his counterpart in the river city of Savia and it is Tamsen who is chosen to accompany him. While the two religious leaders confer, Tamsen sneaks away to explore the city, where “noise” is allowed – even encouraged! But his attention is suddenly torn from the sights and sounds of the city by a wisp of – something more – something wondrous – something like, and yet unlike the lullabies he remembers and the birdsong he struggles to imitate. He is drawn forward, across an open court, unheeding of the dray that nearly knocks him down and the angry shouts of the carter, to an open doorway. As he steps through, his focus narrows until all he sees is the man at the center of a crowd and the strange instrument he holds, from which pours those amazing sounds. Compelled to capture the tones for himself, he pulls out his whistle, closes his eyes and tries to recreate them.
When the tones abruptly cease, he looks up -- and meets the eyes of the man who is about to change his life. Jon, the minstrel, is convinced that Tamsen possesses a Bardic Gift, and insists upon getting him directly to Citadel, the Magicka school in Lenhold, where his Gift can be nurtured. To avoid recapture by Tamsen’s Patriarch, Jon intends to call upon a Windrider friend to fly Tamsen there on kirback. Tamsen’s excitement is almost more than he can bear. Not only will he leave behind the intolerable restrictions of the Godders and be given the opportunity to learn how to produce the music in his heart, but he is going to fly there with a Windrider, on a magical winged beast! Surely he must be dreaming! His entire world seems to be expanding beyond his wildest hope. Little does Tamsen realize just how very large that world will be.

Fantasy, as a rule, isn't my genre of choice for reading. I have trouble with the whole "suspension of disbelief" requirement for much of the work in this style, so I end up being distracted by the fantasy elements (magic, flying unicorn-like creatures, teleportation, etc.)Here, though, the fantastic elements were just one part of an interesting, smooth-flowing story, and it has already prompted a re-read to identify what I missed the first time around. (I tend not to say that I like books if I do not continue to enjoy them on the 2nd (or 3rd, or 10th) read.) Some of the characters are more developed than others, but I have a sense in the back of my head that we'll see more of the lesser characters in the next installment.
I have already recommended this to a number of friends, and you certainly cannot beat the price.
Overall, it is a similar in premise to other young adult books, in that our protagonist learns something about himself that changes his life during his formative years. In this case, though, similar self-discoveries by two protagonists follow mirror-image paths, and because we switch the context of the characters so often, we see this development through the eyes and minds of both the seemingly-virtuous and seemingly-evil incarnations of impending adulthood.
Enjoy.
(Because I've enjoyed seeing these kinds of references in other reviews, I'll mention that other recent books I've enjoyed include both the Underlander and Panem series by Suzanne Collins.)

Winds Rising Windriders Saga Book 1 edition by B A Silverman Children eBooks Reviews
This is a great fantasy novel that takes you on an epic journey in a world artfully, and thoughtfully created by the author. I'm glad this gem found the published light of day through . I look forward to reading the next installment, which I hope gets published soon!
I loved this moving coming-of-age story, set in a richly detailed magical world... containing many traditional fantasy elements combined into a unique and compelling narrative. I finished the book, both satisfied AND wanting more! I am looking forward to devouring the next one in the series...
This was a decent read. Nice book with no bad language and that is something that I look forward to in a book
A good start to a fantastical journey. I love this story except the ending in book 3 which is disappointing and short. But if you are fine with two good long books it is worth the price. A real fantasy story, with magic, magical creatures and an evil guy, not the mention the hero!
Winds Rising is not the kind of book I usually read. I tried to get beyond the unreal fantasy part and read it as I had the Harry Potter books, and then I could get into the story. I particularly like the natural parts; the dog, the trees, the natural balance and descriptions of the geography. I also liked the human story-lines of friendship and love and an ending that tied things up neatly.
Winds Rising is a good read.
This is a the second time I read the book. I really enjoyed it. I will be rereading the second book in the series as well. It is a little emotional and well written.
