Cast in Deception

The Chronicles of Elantra

By: Michelle Sagara

Narrated by: Khristine Hvam

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.

Another great book in this series

this series is a great listen and keeps you mind buzzy. can not wait for the next book

Elantra

The story continues with the cohort. Once again Kaylin, accompanied by Belusdeo ventures into the West March, courtesy of the Elemental water in the Keepers Garden. Quite without a by your leave or even warning. The Hallerones welcomed her and tolerated Belusdeo.
Nothing is ever simple, when the battles were finished Kaylin had acquired more misfits for Helen to house and finally Kaylin got to sleep. Without danger lurking.

Loved it

I loved the book. I had a hard time getting away from this one like all the other books in this series.

I want more

I always pre-order this series it's on my must listen list and by the end of each book I'm wishing for the next book! I can't wait for the next book the wait is killing me already.💞💞💞💞💞💞

Nooooooooooo A Cliffhanger

This book was great as the rest of the series. Unfortunately, the ending is the biggest cliffhanger so far in this series! I love the new character that’s introduced, the return of some of my old favorites, and the development of some of the old characters. The plot gets more intense and the problems more tangled.

I think I might just explode waiting for the next book. I knew it would be good so I held off reading it until now so that the wait for the next book wouldn’t be so long, but now I wish I’d waited even longer!
Khristine Hvam did an amazing job with the narration. She’s excellent at giving each character their own voice, or speaking speed, or age, or accent to differentiate them from each other. I look forward to more of her narrations.

wasn't a great plot

I was a little disappointed in this book. It didn't have as much suspense as the previous books and there were too many loose ends.

This book was just as good as the others in series

Where does Cast in Deception rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Loved this book, as well as all in the series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Main character is very likable, self-doubt and all.

What does Khristine Hvam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Narrator makes is easy to differentiate who is speaking.

Any additional comments?

I recommend starting with the first in the series to get the most enjoyment out of each book. I can't wait for the next one!

Most touching story line yet

Really appreciated the depth of characters in this one. Teela was especially surprising. looking forward to the next.

Loved it!!!

I absolutely love this series! The narrator is so expressive and really brings the book to life. I loved this book!!!!

Excellent! An Elantra chronicle at its best.

Superb, complex and engaging continuation of the series. Narrator makes the best even better. I'm listening to this story over and over with great delight and appreciation. Anxiously looking forward to the next Cast novel. May it be soon please!
