A Tune to Make Them Follow

The Severed Realms, Book 2

De: T.A. Lawrence

Narrado por: Megan Trout, James Fouhey

She’s a wanted criminal, but he doesn’t have to know that.

Piper’s job is simple: Take the children. Don’t get caught.

The rules she binds on herself, however… Well, they’re a tad more complicated.

Kidnapped as a child for her connection with the Old Magic—the one that grants her the ability to enchant others with her music—Piper knows good and well the rules of the Coup, the underground organization intent on bringing down the fae regime. As the Coup’s first “recruiter,” she’s supposed to take the strong, the good-boned, the clever, the healthy.

Except Piper doesn’t always do what she’s supposed to.

Instead, she makes a few rules of her own. Like how she only takes the children who need taking—the children who suffer harm and neglect in their current homes, the ones who come with her willingly. The children for whom a life bound in service to the Coup would be a mercy.

When a deadly oversight leaves Piper injured, stranded in the forest, and unable to protect the no-nonsense child to whom she’s promised a better life, she’s left with no other choice. She strikes a bargain with a handsome archer whose aim is almost as deadly as his past.

Oh, but there’s another rule, too: Don’t fall in love.

Especially not with a human who has no idea who Piper really is.

Fast-paced and action-packed, this second installment in The Severed Realms series transports the listener across Alondria to Avelea, a kingdom full of wicked forest faeries, underground rebellions, and a king with a secret of his own.

A Tune to Make Them Follow is the second book in a series of interconnected fairytale retellings. This book can serve as a standalone or as an entry point into the series.

These are so good!

These books have been delightful, they deserve way more hype and I can’t wait to dive into the next one! I love the characters and the relationships made.

Excellent

Stirring and suspenseful story! Performance was excellent! Can’t wait to listen to the next book!

So-So

Overall, book2 was okay. The narration was REALLY good - kind of what carried the book I think. I thought it was really cool how the Old Magic seemed to be its own character/entity and yet not the same as the other characters- human or fae; even in book 1. The story seems to continue well between the two books so far but, overall, book2 still seemed….drawn out, like it could have been made shorter. I’ll definitely be finishing the series, but I’m not necessarily going to be running to do so immediately.

Intriguing characters and unique magic system

I thought the narrators of this book added a lot to this story. I really enjoyed the characters and the super interesting magic system. I’m excited to see where the story goes!

Family!!!

I didn't think that the second book would be as good as the first book, but Each story is wonderful and it's own.
I'm in love with TA Lawrence writing I can't wait for the third book. This is definitely worth the credit. For someone who is a romantic spicy book reader This writing style has caught my heart.

What’s the real goal of Piper’s?

This book has my emotions on a roller coaster as I was grasping for each word. I enjoying the adventure and the heart pangs. When I say roller coaster I mean you never knew if there were clues that someone was or wasn’t dead. You could be so nervous for them to get caught or happy for the hope that they had. If you like fairy tales this is a spin between the Pied Piper and Peter Pan. Such a great story line. This is definitely a book worth opening and getting caught up in the adventure.

Lots of highs & lows

The changes in the story that could have caused all to crash but how new turns made it exciting & believable.

LOVE THIS STORY!

I love this story so much! Such a refreshing take on fantasy with out any spice of it isn’t your thing!😁
