Dome 6: Tinkered Starsong

By: Gail Carriger

Narrated by: Michael Lesley

Puts the opera back into space opera.

New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger continues her cozy and engaging scifi about the power of art, celebrity, and found family. The second in a completed trilogy narrated by Michael Lesley.

Phex and his pantheon have become demigods and are taking their show on a galaxy-wide tour. Phex is shockingly good at singing but his voice is intoxicating and one wrong note can kill so everyone wants a piece of him - sometimes literally. But the aliens in charge of the divinity are hiding something even more sinister and it's hurting performers and audiences alike. When his lover is pitted against his pantheon, Phex will have to choose between the family he has found and the god he adores.

Lets take this show on the road - where the show is divine and the road is through the stars. Be careful, the moment you start listening you may never want to stop, and you just might kill to keep the music alive.

Murderbot meets Eurovision in the second of the Tinkered Starsong trilogy in which the mystery of the Dyesi is finally uncovered. (This book follows Divinity 36 and precedes Dome 6.)

Great ending to a great series

I love Gail Carriger’s story telling and this is one of the very best. There is great world building and amazing character development. I have laughed and cried.
Just a note for Audible users- this book is mislabeled in the description as book 2 of the series but it is book 3 and there is not a label to indicated it is The Tinkered Starsong series.

Can i please send you lots of time lots of coffee

I love your books and cant wait for them. My eyes are giving me some issues so I have to listen to books. I love you Michael Lesley and adore you Gail Carriger. May you have lots of time to tell us your stories.

Wonderful conclusion to a lovely trilogy

Michael Leslie really brings this wonderful book to life!

This conclusion of Phex’s character arc is very satisfying. It made me cry.

Love is love. Even with aliens watching.

Obsessed with this series

This series has become a new favourite of mine. I’ve always loved Gail Carriger and this didn’t disappoint. The premise is unique and culturally poignant. It deals with the celebrity culture as a religion and its galactic implications. The characters are totally lovable. You aren’t given all the information at the beginning of the book but are allowed to immerse yourself into the world as if you’re one of the new recruits. I loved everything about this story. It is a slow burn and has zero heat. It’s implied but there is no on page descriptions. It isn’t missing either. It’s not the focus of the stories.

Perfect series ended

Lovely book. Just enough tension and satisfying resolution. Looking forward to more books in this universe.

A triumph of pattern, light, grace and Divinity

Now finished with this Trilogy, I will move on to Crudrat and 5th Gender. This Universe has expanded my mind and touched my heart more than any other since Star Trek. I hope beyond hope that visual media are in its future. TV, Film, Video Games. Gail Carriger has cemented her place at the top of my favorite authors pantheon and has become their Sun.

Great idea

No one tells a live story quite like Gail carriger. Delighted by this new trilogy.

Cozy queers in space!

If you liked the Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers and Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree, imagine that, in space, with a heavy K-pop influence. Found family, food and the power of song. Highly recommend the entire trilogy!

Love this series so much!

My 2nd time reading. 1st time in print. Now in audio. Just love this series so much! Enjoyed even more rereading.

Cute wrap up

If I’m being honest, things wrap up/wind down pretty quickly here, but I’m not mad about it. Still super cute. Still heartwarming. Still exactly the cozy experience I wanted.
