Hush, The | Skye Melki-Wegner
5 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
In a world where music is power, one boy's discovery that he can hear the song will change everything. . . Chester is on the road, searching every town for clues about his father's disappearance. But when he's caught accidentally--and illegally--connecting with the Song as he plays his beloved fiddle, Chester is sentenced to death. Only a licensed Songshaper can bend music to their will. The axe is about to fall . . . But there is someone else watching Chester. Someone who needs his special talents. Who can use him for their own ends. And who is hiding in the Hush, where Music can be deadly and Echoes can kill you with a touch. Susannah is that someone. The young captain of the infamous Nightfall Gang has plans for Chester. Finally, she will have her revenge.

LauraBrook @LauraBeth I've heard lots of good things about her. And this copy was only $3, so how could I pass it up?!? 8y
LauraBeth It's a steal! 8y
Redy2trvl Beautiful Ruins is a lovely read! I have the Forgotten Garden, but it has been in the #toread pile for months now. 8y
MeganMarieWrites The Killer Angels is one of my all time favorites! 8y
LauraBrook @Redy2trvl I've been circling around Beautiful Ruins for years, I was so psyched to find a cheap copy! @MeganMarieWrites I've heard so many good things about it! Here's hoping I can keep track of who-is-who once I start reading. 8y
JacqMac I love Sue Perkins. I'm interested to hear how you like the book. 8y
Zelma Beautiful Ruins is a fabulous novel; one of my favorites ever! 8y
Readerann I loved Beautiful Ruins as well. (edited) 8y
LauraBrook @JacqMac I'll keep you posted, though I'll probably save this one for awhile. I need to read Graham Norton's latest memoir first. @Zelma @Readerann Well if you two ladies love this one, I'm sure to too! Will bump it up my TBR. ❣️ 8y
Zelma 😁👍😘 8y

@silentrequiem Look at what you made me do! I had to order a copy from Australia with a less-appealing cover bc I couldn't wait until the US pub date in June!
😘😘😘

silentrequiem 😁 Litsy is full of enablers. 8y
Zelma 😂 twisted your arm, huh? 😜 8y
LauraBrook @silentrequiem It is! One of the many reasons I love this place. @Zelma Yep, it was all peer pressure. 😉 8y

What an ingenious world! The world-building in this is fantastic, with a music-based magic system. But it's so much cooler than that, as I found out as I kept reading. Loved the characters. Fast paced, smart, and just fun. If you like Updraft, read this.

Rating:🎵🎵🎵🎵

ARC from the publisher via Edelweiss.

Out June 6th from Sky Pony Press.

readinginthedark Interesting! I read a short story where music was the basis for the society's magic, but I can't think of the author now...I'll look it up soon. 8y
LauraBrook This sounds so amazing!!! 8y
silentrequiem @LauraBrook There's also a Robin Hood-esque band of thieves, and a secret but dangerous world you can only get to via the right set of notes. 8y
LauraBrook @silentrequiem STOP! This is hitting most of my favorite things!!!!! I'm preordering it immediately. 💖 8y

Me every night.

TrishTheBibliophile And then the next morning feels like a hangover. Haha. (edited) 8y
Books88 Me last night! 8y
melrailey Totally me. I've had to stop taking my current read to bed and only allow myself short stories in bed as it's easier to stop. 8y
silentrequiem @melrailey That's brilliant! May have to start doing that! 8y
Gissy I know the feeling! ☺️ 8y
