A Conspiracy of Truths
A Conspiracy of Truths | Alexandra Rowland
A wrongfully imprisoned storyteller spins stories from his jail cell that just might have the power to save himand take down his jailers too. Arrested on accusations of witchcraft and treason, Chant finds himself trapped in a cold, filthy jail cell in a foreign land. With only his advocate, the unhelpful and uninterested Consanza, he quickly finds himself cast as a bargaining chip in a brewing battle between the five rulers of this small, backwards, and petty nation. Or, at least, that's how he would tell the story. In truth, Chant has little idea of what is happening outside the walls of his cell, but he must quickly start to unravel the puzzle of his imprisonment before they execute him for his alleged crimes. But Chant is no witchhe is a member of a rare and obscure order of wandering storytellers. With no country to call his home, and no people to claim as his own, all Chant has is his wits and his apprentice, a lad more interested in wooing handsome shepherds than learning the ways of the world. And yet, he has one great power: his stories in the ears of the rulers determined to prosecute him for betraying a nation he knows next to nothing about. The tales he tells will topple the Queens of Nuryevet and just maybe, save his life.

Mehso-so

This book took me SO LONG to get through, it being my #Bookspin finally pushed me to finish it. It took a long, slow time to get started, and I kept losing focus. Might have liked it more if I read it straight through. It had interesting things to say about stories and POV, but I felt it lacked subtlety in its execution. So-so, but I'm going to give the second book in the series a shot, as it focuses on a lovely side-character of the first book.

Tagged is this month's #bookspin. And here's the #bookspinbingo.

I just now noticed that Of Fire and Stars managed to sneak on there twice. Not sure what I'll do about that...maybe if I read it I'll check off 9 and let 15 be a second free space. We shall see!

We've got our #bookspin and #doublespin for the month! The numbers have decided I'm continuing my global reading challenge, and finally facing down the book that I've been “actively“ reading for the longest. I've been about a third of the way through with this book months now. Time to either finish it or officially DNF.

Snapped the pic to share the Co—Star day at a glance, which elicited smirks all around.
So this narrator also narrated my last audiobook, Cinnamon and Gunpowder, and the similarities between the two books and their narrators are quite uncanny!

Pickpick

What‘s an old traveling storyteller to do after being unjustly imprisoned just after his arrival in a new country? Why, accidentally overthrow the ruling government through the power of stories while playing Musical Chairs: Jail Cell Edition.

This is a slow story, where our narrator spends almost the entire time imprisoned. And there‘s a bit of a Thousand and One Nights going on - stories within stories. This was a really fun listen. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Riley is 14 years old and his legs are too long for his body, so our walks are getting longer in time although shorter in distance.

But I love that it‘s finally warm enough I can take him out. ❤️

Took me a while, but I got it settled! 10 audiobooks, 10 kindle books. All owned and waiting for me!

This #BookSpinBonanza is either going to break me or add several more books to my TBR if we‘re being honest! 😂

TheAromaofBooks From the looks of everyone's lists, reading these reviews is definitely going to wreck my TBR! 😂 5y

Okay, well, #24in48 is over, and I just made my modest goal of 14 hours, which I am happy enough about. I only have 13 hours, 48 minutes “on the clock,” but then I realized that I failed to count the time I read bedtime stories to the kids, which was 30-40 minutes-ish. I FAILED to finish A Conspiracy of Truths because my reading today was slow and distracted, but I certainly made way more progress than I would have without the Readathon. So, yay!

Have you ever liked an author so much that you were nervous to read their book? A friend commissioned me to make a pair of earrings to match this book cover to give the author as a gift. As a result, I ended up following Rowland on twitter and her podcast. I have a massive girl crush now, but the book isn‘t my normal pick, and what if I don‘t like it? Reassure me, please!
