Synopsis

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, WHO NEEDS ENEMIES?

Private Kaylin Neya thought her home couldn’t possibly get more crowded. But when one of her housemates, Annarion, decides to undertake the Barrani Test of Name, his friends refuse to let him face his task alone—and Kaylin’s sentient home, Helen, is the only structure capable of shielding the rest of Elantra from the magnitude of their power.

Annarion and Mandoran almost caused the destruction of the High Halls once already. Add nine of their closest friends, and the danger is astronomically higher—especially since these guests are at the heart of a political firestorm. Imprisoned almost a millennium ago, their recent freedom threatens the rulership of several prominent Barrani families, and the machinations of those Lords make it almost impossible to tell friend from foe.

As political tensions ramp up, the shadows beneath the High Halls are seeking a freedom that has never been possible before. Kaylin must find a way to keep those shadows from escaping, or that freedom will destroy her city, the empire and everything she holds dear.

Well...huh. I'm a big fan of the Chronicles of Elantra series. Michelle Sagara's prose leaves me breathless at times and she creates such appealing characters even when they're the "bad guys." Khristine Hvam has the characters' personalities and voices firmly in place, making listening to the dialog......more

Goodreads review by Jack on June 04, 2021

I have read and enjoyed these books, passed them on to others...but this book didn't work for me. The title should have been Bickering Barrani. Nothing much happens in this book, except Barrani bickering, the reason for all the bickering doesn't happen, and leaves this book feeling like filler. The a......more

That was wonderful. When is the next book? Admittedly it doesn't advance the overall plot arc but really fleshed out the cohort & Kaylin's life.......more
