Publisher's summary
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.
Let’s 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.)

Story
A thousand years ago, my great-something uncle founded the Collective, a secret organization dedicated to protecting humanity from demons. The hunter tradition has been passed down over the generations, from parent to child, secure in the knowledge that the Collective is a community of safety and knowledge. But betrayal sucks, and six years ago, it turned my world—and the Collective—upside down. After generations of deception, the hunters left behind are picking up the pieces and trying something we’ve never done before—working side by side with our enemy.

Story
Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Hi, I'm Kit. Immortal vampire and technomage extraordinaire. You know how it goes. For the record, I am absolutely not stalking my reincarnated husband. Okay, I am, but it's for his own good. And mine. Er, assuming I can somehow figure out how to tell him he's reincarnated and a mage, and we all live in a sentient library. Any thoughts on that? I'm currently taking suggestions. One thing's for sure. He's not dying on me again. Never again.

A hulked-out wrath demon who eats gamer rage and loves cats, a shapeshifting lust demon who enjoys their food a bit too much, and a void demon who doesn’t see the point of any of this. They’re not the sort of mercenaries you'd hire on purpose, but Bex wouldn’t trust her life to anyone else. Ever since the ancient Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh decided death wasn’t for him, killed the gods, and conquered the afterlife, times have been rough for a free demon.

Another winner from Carriger.
I am loving this series so much. Can’t wait for Dome 6 to release. If you haven’t read (or listened to) Crudrat I do recommend it for a clearer understanding of Phex and why his reactions/behaviors/ thoughts are the way they are.

Audiobook is better than the Kindle!
I have enjoyed this series and have read the whole trilogy.
This book feels made for the Audio format.
The series is about gods, singers, dancers and aliens. This reader’s voices felt like song.
I find Phex’s journey poignant. This book was beautiful.

Warning: Book May Cause Godfix
I cannot express my love for this book and series highly enough. I have so far enjoyed all of Carriger’s work that I have read, but this series in particular has hit home in a way that has currently rendered me useless for other books. I am on my second listen, and keep renewing the books at the library just so I don’t have to return them. Obviously I will be needing to purchase the series. I cannot stop begging my friends to read or listen to the books just so I can share this with them.
Moving on to be actually useful.
Gorgeous writing. Brilliant story. And delicious narration. I have caught myself giggling in my car while listening because of a funny moment on more than one occasion. This has quickly become one of my favorite series, and I read quite a lot.

love, love, love it
Gail Carriger's Tinkered Starsong Trilogy is pretty much perfect, and Michael Lesley is the perfect narrator. There are so many fascinating things to ponder in this series. Culture and language and diversity and beauty and love and obsession. The final concert in this is magnificent, and brings me to tears every time. Also very cool is the way Lesley does the double-toned speech of Quasilun. I am waiting (with little patience) for Dome 6.

love tinkered starsong!
this is my second time reading this series. the first time i was so enthralled by the world that I switched to the text eBook to consume it faster. This time, i listened to the audiobook. this series is such a wholesome found family story, and its a joy to see Phex learn to love himself as much as he loves others. hes such a caring individual, and hes surrounded by people who care for him just as much as he takes care of them!
the narrator did a great job with the voices. cant wait to listen to the next book!

Really wanted to love this
I have read everything Gail Carriger has written and several got me through very hard times. I don't know how many times I have read and reread her other works - The Finishing School, Parasol Protectorate, Custard Protocol, etc. But I've noticed the last half dozen books across several series are all becoming so formulaic. The strength of her characters was always their uniqueness and a really fabulously smart sense of humour. But the last 5 or 6 books have all been the same - strong, quiet character with an abusive past falls for total brat; painfully long descriptions of emotions; entire casts who are obsessed with each other's emotions, etc.
This series is another centered on this recycled trope, but it crosses from disappointing to unbearable due to the narrator. Every character has a bored, upperclass mumble. It is almost impossible to understand without concentrating on each word. I have to constantly increase volume and rewind when it resolves into whining mumbles. The cyborg is incomprehensible in the audiobook. I am heartbroken to say I won't be reading the 3rd book in the series and as this kind of trope is how the other series are being written, including the San Andreas Shifters and the novellas, I think I'm just done. I really hope for a return to the kind of character development in Custard Protocol, How to Marry a Werewolf, etc., and an end to the repetitive brat/beefcake motif and dozens of pages of analysis of every minute aspect of every emotion.
