A Choir of Lies

De: Alexandra Rowland

Narrado por: John Keating, Xanthe Elbrick

A young storyteller must embrace his own skills - and the power of stories - to save a nation from economic ruin, in the stand-alone sequel to A Conspiracy of Truths.

Three years ago, Ylfing watched his master-Chant tear a nation apart with nothing but the words on his tongue. Now Ylfing is all alone in a new realm, brokenhearted and grieving - but a Chant in his own right, employed as a translator to a wealthy merchant of luxury goods, Sterre de Waeyer. But Ylfing has been struggling to come to terms with what his master did, with the audiences he's been alienated from, and with the stories he can no longer trust himself to tell.

That is, until Ylfing's employer finds out what he is, what he does, and what he knows. At Sterre's command, Ylfing begins telling stories once more, fanning the city into a mania for a few shipments of an exotic flower. The prices skyrocket, but when disaster looms, Ylfing must face what he has done and decide who he wants to be: a man who walks away and lets the city shatter, as his master did? Or will he embrace the power of story to save 10,000 lives?

With a memorable cast of characters, starring a fan-favorite from A Conspiracy of Truths, and a timely message, Choir of Lies reminds us that the words we wield can bring destruction - or salvation.

Changed my brain chemistry.

The back and forth between the narrators blew me away. I was disappointed to see James Langton wasn't narrating the second book for all of five minutes.

Really great book!!

I loved the reading of this book, the narrators really made the characters come alive. The only thing I disliked was the love story in the middle became a bit repetitive - but the ending makes up for that in my eyes. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a differently and interestingly formatted book - to me, that was half the fun of the story.
