Demigod 12
Ratings6
Average rating3.8
New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger continues her cozy and engaging scifi about the power of art, celebrity, and found family.
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 (follows Divinity 36 ) in which the mystery of the Dyesi is finally uncovered.

This is book two in the fascinating, yet funny, Tinkered Starsong series. It does feel very much like book 2 in a trilogy. It starts out full steam with great characters, humorously bizarre situations and a universe of wonders that we are just scratching the surface of (I want more!).
The middle part slows right down and becomes much more slow and serious. I won't say I was bored, it was very obviously laying the groundwork for what is to come - but I was nevertheless frustrated because I wanted to see more of this world!
In the final third Ms Carriger just takes the gloves off (knowing her, probably tasteful silk gloves). It is no-holds-barred awesomeness after awesomeness with stunning scenes and insights exploding in your skull with no recovery time, leaving me turning the final page with a little sad whimper that the book had ended.
I'm looking forward to book three, but I really, really, really hope that Ms Carriger explores more corners and aspects of this universe in further books.
Thank you Ms Carriger for all the great characters, the crazy/amazing worlds, the great laughs, and the tense moments when I forgot to breathe. You are a great writer and I can't wait for more!
