The Singer of All Songs

Book 1 of the Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy

By: Kate Constable

Narrated by: Karen Ziemba

Calwyn knows nothing about the world beyond the Wall. She's never seen the golden stone of the city of kalysons or the wide waters of the Bay of Sardi. She hasn't heard the windworker's melodies in the Isles of Firthana or the occasional explosions from the colleges of Mithates. She knows only the rounds of her life as a novice ice priestess in Antaris, tending her bees, singing her chantments, and dreaming.

Enter Darrow, who speaks to Calwyn of discord in Tremaris, where chanters are hated for their gifts. And Darrow himself is being hunted by a man who was once his best friend is now the most powerful chanter of all.

To help Darrow, to escape Antaris, to see the world and perhaps save it, Calwyn will leave the safety of the Wall for a journey with a man she barely know - and an adventure as beautiful and dangerous as the music of chantment itself.©2002 Kate Constable; (P)2004 Random House, Inc.

My Favorite Novel from Childhood

Great sound effects that added a lot to this enchanting story 👍 Definitely some plot holes I noticed more as an adult, but overall an amazing story. It paints a picture of a beautiful fantasy world that draws you in. The characters are very engaging and the concept of chantment is super cool. I love it.

Enchanting

An enchanting story. The sound effects can be a little distracting at times but otherwise this was one of my favorites, fresh and interesting throughout.

interesting

Very interesting enjoyed it the story starts in wonder and is open as you go along

Sound effects too loud

The narrator was fine, but there were several times I could barely hear her over the sound effects.

Marvelous Special Sound Effects!!!

Although I have been an Audible listener for several years, this is the first review I have written. (Shame on me!) Anyway, I was moved to write this review because this was, I think, the most enjoyable listening experience I have had so far!! Really! This book is Fantasy, which as a rule, I don't usually care for because I can't always "get into the setting", but this one was different. I could go on and on, but when someone is singing or chanting a spell, you hear it in the background. When they are on a boat, you hear the water splashing against the boat and the boat creaks. I was totally drawn into the story and was very sad when it was over THis is the first of a trilogy, so I will be eagerly awaiting the rest!!! I think everyone would enjoy the book, but women will especially enjoy the book because of the main character, a young woman who is very independant and strong. Many fantasies are "geared" more for men, I feel.
