Cast in Secret

Chronicles of Elantra, Book 3

By: Michelle Sagara

Narrated by: Khristine Hvam

Still avoiding magic whenever possible, Private Kaylin Neya relished investigating a run-of-the-mill theft. Until she found out the mysterious stolen box had been taken from Elani Street, where the mages and charlatans mingled, and it was sometimes hard to tell the difference between the two. And since the box was ancient, without a keyhole, and held tremendous darkness inside, Kaylin knew unknown forces were again playing with her destiny... and her life.

great 3rd book

loved the book. good continuation of the series. this book showed her in a good role

I couldnt stop listening !

I am only supposed to allow myself only so much time per nite. I keep breaking my personal rules .I listened to the first half twice because I wanted it to last longer. I didnt expect to enjoy these books as much as I have. The narrator is hipnotic . She has a firm grip on the characters personalities and the voices are consistant and unique per character.I hope you will enjoy this book and the series as much as I have.I can as of late, walk away from the TV to go listen to my books.Michelle Sagaras stories are imaginative and enveloping. On top of that Khristines portrayals are very consistant and enjoyable. Good job team.Thank you .

My kind of story!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love this kind of stories in which the main character asks an endless number of questions. I am only on book 3. But, if I may be so bold, I would like to answer one of Kaylin's questions she is forbidden to re-ask the dragon Sanabalis:

Q: [Lord Sabalis] What is your horde?
My answer: Troublesome, yet, very talented students.

What other book might you compare Cast in Secret to and why?

If you like this series, you would probably enjoy the 4 book series Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck.

Which character – as performed by Khristine Hvam – was your favorite?

Kaylin, of course. Bur, I also like the Leontine Sargent.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Be very careful with your questions!

Building story

Continued introduction of new characters and development of old ones. Seems like I know them well now. Only annoying aspect is continuing word mispronounciation by reader. Retched for wretched, one example in this book. Doesn't detract from story but arrests the flow of the prose when listening. Has occurred in each book, but not frequently. I'm continuing the series on Audible.

I love this series

This is a great story with a great narrator. I can't wait for the next book...
