SHEESH! 😳 did I hear that right?.. ohh I definitely did!
This book was amazing! What else do you expect? Now I’m really just hoping we get more in this series! I’ve totally fallen in love with the characters on Terandria! And what will happen to Belavierr?
On a sad note I believe this is the last book we are getting with Andrea Parsneau as the narrator. I’m very sad to be losing her but am very thankful for her work! I loved it all and I’m still hopeful for the future of the series as a whole!
Can’t wait for more!

And so this chapter of The Wandering Inn journey ends. Thank you, Andrea Parsneau, for the 700+ hours of masterful performance. You've raised the bar for the next narrator(s) so incredibly high I can't imagine them reaching it. May the next torch shine just as bright, for Noelictus needs it.

The best way to enter in The Wandering Inn series. I cant say more cause this one have a lot of plot and one of the center characters is very important in The Wandering Inn, but when you read about her, yeah, is one kind of a Monster. Ah! Pirateaba make a set-up for a very interesting type of breed which I dont know so much.
A little disappointed cause it will be a fourth book and i need to wait but very hyped about the series. I will read the lady of fire and jump to the web, for sure!

4.5/5
so this series is why smaller scope and better paced then TWI. I could see this being a better entry to Inn world then volume1.
S tier audiobook.

“Belavierr, Stitch Witch, Spider of Terrandria, Witch of Webs, Temptress of Dragons, Thread Spinner, The greatest of witches to walk our waning world, welcome once more to the court of dusk, and the palace of shadows.”
A single passage, but it carries the full weight of Ghostsong—haunting, lyrical, and steeped in reverence for the monstrous. It’s a reminder that Belavierr’s presence isn’t loud, but it’s everywhere. Her threads run through the entire book, silent and inescapable.
Book 3 of the Singer of Terrandria series leans deeper into grief, memory, and myth. It’s not just about battles or bargains; it’s about the weight of choices and the echoes they leave behind. Secrets are shared, long-held truths surface, and the past presses in, relentless. Belavierr’s presence looms large, but she isn’t the story—she’s the shadow it casts.
The narrative itself moves like a song half-remembered, filled with loss, power, and quiet horror.
And with this book, we also say goodbye to Andrea Parsneau’s incredible narration for The Wandering Inn. Her voice brought the world of The Wandering Inn to life with nuance, strength, and soul. Wishing her all the best in whatever stories she lends her voice to next.

Review: Ghostsong by Pirateaba
Ghostsong wraps up Cara’s current arc with far more confidence and momentum than the series’ first entry, making it a satisfying if not entirely final chapter in the Singer of Terandria saga. Books two and three have both been stronger, and this one brings together all the threads Pirateaba has been weaving through Noelictus: political tension, undead unrest, conspiracies in the Hunter’s Guild, and the personal journeys of the characters who’ve grown around Cara.
This installment brings Cara’s allies together as the stakes in Menorome reach their peak. The corruption in the Guild, the rising undead, the incoming threat of war, and the presence of witches, barons, knights, and ghosts all collide in ways that feel earned after the buildup of the earlier books. Having already read The Witch of Webs from The Wandering Inn, I knew some of the aftermath, but the path Ghostsong takes to get there still offered plenty to enjoy especially in how it expands Terandria’s culture and history.
Cara herself remains more compelling here than in her earliest appearances. Her music, connections, and stubborn determination pull her into a web of events far bigger than her role as a [Singer], yet she rises to the occasion without losing her charm. This book feels like a true convergence of everything the series set up: friendships reunited, mysteries exposed, and the shadows of Noelictus finally illuminated.
While Ghostsong ties up many threads, Pirateaba leaves enough open doors for a future continuation should they choose to return to Cara’s story. As it stands, it’s an engaging and dramatic finale to this phase of her adventures, enriching both the series and the wider world it connects to.

As of now, I have read the whole of the available singer of Teradria works. In this review, I will combine my thoughts on the patreon versions of Huntsong, Ghostsong, and Warsong. As such, I will copy and paste this review into the 3rd installment of the trilogy here on goodreads.
My first point is how this series was such a breath of fresh air. I loved how Cara was given such a fresh voice and feel, how her friendships develop much in the same way as in the main series, and how much I actually liked most characters in this secondary story. Additionally, the setting of Noelictus is given the depth and realism that raises the story so much. The mystery of the hunter's guild corruption, the presentation of the hunters, the royal family, the Synphasia, and Ovela were downright masterful. The author spun a tale that was believable while also hitting all the nails that make stories things of fancy.
My only criticism lies in the overexposition of Ailendamus' capabilities. While an interesting and important aspect of the continent, this nation's champions and the "final" battle were too quick paced, revealing too much too fast, which makes me worried of how pirateaba is dealing with Terandria going forward into volume 7.
Despite that, this series is certainly up there in quality when compared to the best of what the main series has to offer. It is a mandatory read to anyone that has finished volume 6, and once again I'm eager for the next installment, where Cara will maybe debut to the eyes of our main cast of

It's always amazing to get into that zone where you've found a fantastic author who keeps pumping out absolutely addictive prose, but it's another to find text so LIKEABLE and CHARMING and, when the time is just right, HEARTWRENCHING and VIOLENT for all the right reasons.
Yeah, well, this is now on the same level for me as the author's other series, the Wandering Inn. Of course, that's not so hard, since the two share the same world, so many of the same characters, references, and especially the baddies.
Let me just say that the full world and all the wonderful people in it are on full display. That, while we have new foci in it, the full weight of all that came before is something very, very special.
I LOVE this world. I have a hard time thinking of worlds I love as much as this one. There are a few, of course, but this one is rapidly becoming a top five. I should note I've read a LOT of books. To make it this high is very high praise, indeed. Take that as you will.
That being said, HOLY SHIT WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
Those who are in the know, know, of course. Just wow.
Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.
Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.

Wow! Soooooooofriggen! Gobsmacked! As per usual pirateaba and Andrea Parsneau have slam dunked the best book evarrr! Of course it's my new favorite read this year. This book isn't just about Kara, the Gravesinger, though. No it's much, much bigger than that as pirateaba weaves a tapestry of stories together just like Anansi the mythical spider! And yeah it's absolutely about Kara, and her relationship with Sir Dalius the Ghost Knight, it's about Kara her ability to act and sing which empowers others, in particular it empowers the Hunters guild. It's about Kara and Queen Mysteries, who faces her seasons bravely! It's about Kara and her relationship/friendship with Eliana her helpful servant, but a girl from earth just like her. But it's also about the Duke, who's really a piece, and starting a war. It's also about Hunter Hyght, the Hunters Guild, and the Hunter who older than the stars. And the Undead Wraith Lord who only wants to kill. And wow Bellaviar the Witch of Webs who continually seeks power from people inorder to control them! And again, I haven't mentioned the half of it! And wow that epilogue whoa. Mind blown 😱!
So grab the audiobook!
So grab the audiobook!

Finally finished the Singer of Terandria series, and overall pretty happy with it. I liked Cara and Haeight a lot, and their POV’s always kept me engaged. Learning more about the hunters and why they are the way they are was interesting, but it was definitely flawed so I liked that it was resolved (kinda). Belleviere continues to be the most intriguing character in the main story and now in this side story, so it was really cool seeing more from her. Unfortunately this book had the same problem the last did where it tries to go too in-depth on side plots that I just didn’t care much for, so the middle really drags. I can see how this would’ve been good if it was in the main story, as it would’ve had more time to develop, but trying to confine it to a a trilogy like this made it feel less impactful when certain story points were revealed. Excited to hear more from Cara in the main story for sure.

Although I love the talents of Pirateaba, as well Andrea Parseneau, the narrator, this wasn't nearly as beloved by me as the main story line, The Wandering Inn. There was too much shouting, too many battles, and more evil than I can take. I can hardly stand to read about Belavierr. I don't like pure evil characters dominating a story. This is more horror than not, or constant battles, neither appealing to me. I did love Elana's journey. I have not grown fonder of Cara. I appreciated her most in the first book of this three-part series. There was a very deep and raspy voice that bothered me the more I heard it, but overall narration is of the highest quality.

I so hope there is more and soon! Pirateaba is prolific, so I am encouraged. Just as good as the Wandering Inn series, so much more to do and see here (please!). I have been in this world for a year now, 15 hours a week and it's my favorite time (driving in heavy LA traffic 2X a day). Thank you Pirateaba for such wonderful stories and making my drive magical. I am a better person in this world from my experiences of Terandria and Izril. Luckily, I have book 17 of the Wandering Inn to dive into...I miss those guys and that is 40+ hours long, so I'll be there a while. After that...I am going to be in trouble.

While I'm a huge fan of Pirateaba, I felt like the main character was just washed in all the politics. I wanted more MC and less confusing political intrigue that I didn't really care about. I wanted to know how Cara setup here safe zone, how she gathered power as a pop star, how she protected fellow earthers. I got none of that. She starts off hating monarchies but then lives among them. Again, maybe I'm not smart enough to keep up with all the political intrigue. I'm going to go back to TWI.

Amazing, give me the 4th book now. I know I'm into a series when I am now sad to go back to the main line of books, which I also love! I heard the 4th book here would fill out the last of the storyline that sets up the events of book 12 of the Wandering Inn. A little sad its not out now but I am unwilling to put the series on hold to wait for it! I will happily circle back.
If you are a fan of the WI this side series has everything you love about it, with even better pacing. Read it! I really hope Andrea Parsneau finishes out the last book of the series! Please.

I love these books. However, every time I finish one I am left with more questions. The question this time was who are the mice? I really want to know who the mice are. Also will there be another series that leads up to Bellavier and shows us who she is by the time she gets to the Witch of Web's book? I hope. I hope. I hope.

As always, incredible. Pirateaba never ceases to amaze me. This spinoff works on some of the bad aspects of the main series. It does have problems, felt a little rushed (something I never thought to say about pirateabas's work) in the tird act, but it resolves nicely the main conflict of the kingdom of shade.
I'll miss Andrea Parsneau tho. Excited forthe next one
4/5 would recommend

A Superior Series
I have read many Isekai novels over the years. This particular series is a cut above any other one that I am aware of...including the one that spawned this, The Wandering Inn.

best one from singer of terandria series yet

I did like #3 more than the previous book, it feels like that the story is getting to its climax, I think next book will wrap it up.
June 29, 2025
Another terrific mammoth volume from pirateaba. I think my favourite moments aren’t the epic battles with ghosts and monsters but the small character moments.
July 4, 2025
by the end of this book I wanted more of this story! I was surprised by how different the world building of the area was.
July 11, 2025
And the stage is set. I really didn't know where things were going in this story. I haven't been disappointed. So good, so excellent, a quality companion to the Wandering Inn.

This one packed a punch and I was excited by the ending except for the stitch witch. I keep hoping she will get hers someday but it seems like it will not be here, maybe in the next one.
August 15, 2025
It was great, love the buidup but the climax was sort of disappointing and felt disjointed. oh well.

4.5/5.0
Great spinoff from TWI main series. A must ready for anyone enjoying TWI books.
