In the royal city of Camarria, a street urchin named Chessie lives by her wits, always attended by her two faithful friends, Red and Scar. What no one realizes is that the “friends” are really echoes, creatures that look exactly like their originals but who possess no volition of their own. Echoes normally are only born to high nobles, and Chessie doesn’t want anyone to start asking questions about her past. So she’s developed the ability to move between bodies so rapidly that she can maintain the illusion that she and Red and Scar are three separate people.

When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people - who knew?). Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again!

This world has radios but no telescopes?
I have loved and still do love this epic saga. however, For some reason nobody has developed a simple telescope, which is much earlier tech our real life world, pointed it to the heavens and simply seen the orbiting ship! I love the story but the author is CLEARLY avoiding this rather glaring issue for plot convenience. otherwise I would give a five star on the story.

Sharon Shinn is unbeatable
What made the experience of listening to The Alleluia Files the most enjoyable?
The characters of the Alleluia Files are so deep and complex! Now that I'm done reading the book, I actually sort of miss them as if they were my real-life friends!
What did you like best about this story?
Not only are the characters amazing, the entire premise of a world set up like the past in the future is creative and really well done by the author.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene where Delilah accidentally transports herself to Jehovah is delightful.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There are so many amazing moments in this book. I couldn't possibly chose one.
Any additional comments?
Read everything Sharon Shinn writes! You won't regret it!

Is it disappointing?
This book started slow and almost disappointing, but it recovered itself towards the end, overall. I'll still listen to the next book as I am 3 books in now, but things feel a little far fetched and I'm hoping that she is able to carry through with the way the book ended.
The reader does a good job, but I do have to up the speed some because she is a bit slow, but that could also be the recording engineer's decision. Not much of a problem for this book because Audible does provide the ability to speed it up.

Loved this book
I really enjoyed the way they still believes in a higher power after all truth was revealed. The idea of angels on earth is awesome.
