The Lyre Thief
The Lyre Thief | Jennifer Fallon
10 posts | 9 read | 5 to read
Ten years have passed since the events of the Demon Child books that left the god Xaphista dead, the nation Karien without a religion or king and the matriarchal country of Medalon ruled by men. But it is in the kingdoms of the south that things really heat up. When Princess Rakaia of Fardohnya discovers she is not of royal birth, she agrees to marry a much older Hythrun noble in a chance to escape her 'father's wrath. Rakaia takes nothing but her jewels and her base-born half-sister, Charisee, who has been her slave, handmaiden and best friend since she was six years old. And who can pass as Rakaia's double. These two sisters embark on a Shakespearian tale of switched identities, complicated love triangles...and meddlesome gods. Rakaia is rescued on the road by none other than the Demon Child, R'shiel, still searching for a way to force Death to release her near immortal Brak. Charisee tries to act like the princess she was never meant to be and manages to draw the attention of the God of Liars who applauds her deception and only wants to help. Then there is the little matter of the God of Music's magical totem that has been stolen...and how this theft may undo the universe. Powerful magics, byzantine politics, sweeping adventure, and a couple of juicy love stories thrown in for good measure, The Lyre Thief is classic Fallon that is sure to appeal to her fans.

This was a great fantasy read and I really enjoyed delving back into the world of the Harshini, Gods and demons.

Jennifer Fallon has long-time been an auto-buy author for her fantasy fiction.

Someone please explain to me why, when I have 135 book waiting for me to read at home (I counted this morning 😂), do I visit the library and select half a shelf worth of new books to read? When I got home, I half expected my owned TBR to have thrown themselves off my bookcases in protest...

JENNIFER FRACKING FALLON! TLT is set 10 years after the events in the Wolfblade/Hythrun Chronicles (2 trilogies connected) and finds all the major characters back in the thick of magic, politics, and mayhem. R'Shiel, the Demon Child has disappeared & suddenly all the music in Hythria vanished. When a foreign princess doesn't want to be caged & an assassin falls for her double, things get interesting!

Jennifer Fallon is one of those seminal Australian fantasy authors I've never quite got around to reading. Now that I've read THE LYRE THIEF, I'll definitely be going through her backlist. Set in the same world as a few of her previous series, it uses a few old characters and introduces a few others. Readers new to the world may have to work a little, but I found this reasonable and well worth the effort. Recommended for lovers of epic fantasy.

So it turns out this book is the first in a small series, but seventh in a bigger series, so I was weighed down by a ton of backstory I wasn't familiar with. I liked it enough to keep reading in spite of that. I guess I can't resist a princess swapping places with her maid.

I liked this book a lot - a dirtier, political take on fantasy with a lot of strong women in it. The one thing I would say is that there are references to past Fallon series in this book that fly over your head if you haven't read them. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the second in the trilogy.
