King Baryn has decided that if he marries his daughter Amalie to a high-ranking noble, the rebellious marlords might be pacified and he might be able to avert a war. So he invites all the young serramar to the royal city to court his daughter. To protect Amalie from any unsavory suitors, the mystic Cammon is installed to monitor all of Amalie's courtships, because Cammon is a reader who can tell if someone harbors violence or malevolence in his heart.

Much to the dismay of her advisors, Amalie begins to fall in love with the wholly unsuitable Cammon. Even worse, war comes to Gillengaria anyway, and Amalie can only be kept safe through the combined efforts of the Riders, the mystics - and the wild raelynx that has mystical powers of its own.

BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction by author Sharon Shinn.

Would you consider the audio edition of Reader and Raelynx to be better than the print version?

No

Who was your favorite character and why?

Senneth is my favorite character; she is the center around which the story (in the first four books) revolves. She is a strong character but has vulnerablilties that give her more than one dimension.

Next favorite would be Kirra--she can be a hoyden or a great lady with equal sincerity, and she is someone you want to be at your back.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Joe Barrett?

Anyone. He had the same voice with only a few differences for each character, and the voice he chose for Tayse sounded like a prude who had just eaten a lime.

Any additional comments?

I love Sharon Shinn's books of the Twelve Houses. I'm so very sorry she has concluded writing about this world.

Reader and Ralynx is a great conclusion!

This is a delightful book. Exciting, imaginative, beautifully written, and wonderfully narrated. The worst part of this book was that it came to an end. I really will miss these characters. I enjoyed all the Mystic and Rider books, but this one was even more exceptional.

Loved it!

This book is a satisfying conclusion for the trilogy! It ties up loose ends I didn't even know were there! I love happy answers and happy endings!

Wonderful & satisfying!

I loved this series so much I hated to see it end. It took sometime to get used to the new narrator, Joe Barrett -- and I have to admit, I never did warm to his interpretation of Kira, but I was able to over-look it. The story was so engaging and the battle at the end was great. I hope Sharon Shinn continues to write for the main characters, and that Audible gets more of her work soon. Highly recommended..

Great Listen

This has been my favorite series i have listened to to date. I will be re-reading them all again i'm sure. I will miss the characters as i have become so attached to them all. Every book has had me captivated from beginning to end, just wish there were many more book to the series and it never end's lol. Just love it so much.

I ADORE this series and this is the second time I’ve read all of them. I thought I would listen to them this time since I have time at work to listen and I loved the narrator of the first two books. This guy, however, is awful. I HATED the way he made Kirra sound and the random accents were super off-putting. Why on earth would Donnel have an Irish accent?? He gives one of the serramar a German accent at one point for some reason??! It’s just goofy. I also detested the hokey cockney accent he used for Cammon. He made him sound idiotic. Don’t get me wrong, you should read this book. It’s fabulous and a fantastic addition to the series. Just don’t listen to it.

Wonderful book, terrible narration
