In the magical world of Lyra, a mysterious instrument gives a minstrel undreamed-of power
When Emereck and Flindaran leave a caravan in search of adventure, it isn’t long before they stumble upon great danger. Emereck, a trained minstrel, and Flindaran, a nobleman masquerading as a tramp, have found a long-abandoned castle, and in it, one of Lyra’s most sought-after treasures the Harp of Imach Thyssel.
Because the Harp of Imach Thyssel can make a badly wounded man whole, or kill an entire city.
Emereck is plunged into the middle of politics he wants no part of, and is going to need to learn very quickly who his real friends and enemies are.
Neither the plot nor the worldbuilding are as strong here as in the earlier Lyra novels, but it's still an enjoyable plot that does keep moving, and I like the characters. The narrator does a fine job, too.
Recommended.

_Harp_ is lovely, enchanting, sad, and very well-written. While surely not at humorous as Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, it has very good dialog and characterization. I liked it largely because I am a harpist myself (the hero is a minstrel), so if you like music I'm sure you'll like this book. I read it twice without pause between )
This is the sort of fantasy story I adore -- the magical harp, the conflicting desires of the people who play it or wish to, a world with a varied population of races, castles, forests, secrets.... But it isn't quite pulled off. This is the first book I've read by Wrede -- could it be the first she wrote in her imagined world of Lyra? The book seems eager to squeeze the history of vast eras into capsule backstory here and there where, if the author had already been mid-series, it might have been better to leave a bit of mystery and work it out in the next book. Also, the suggestion that the human culture has been static for a couple thousand years is troubling, since everyone we see in this story is lively, full of ideas and ambitions. (For example, in 2000 civilized years, no one has ever thought of establishing a regular postal service? With this many little realms either actually or potentially at war over the years, no one's alchemist is busy figuring out gunpowder?) And the author's voice does not yet seem comfortably settled in this world -- or I should say, voices. It drove me nuts how some characters behave and speak as if they were Arthurian, some as if they were contemporary Americans, and a couple others as if they were 18th century British or French nobility. (And it made me particularly nuts that the story's Duke of Minathlan was lifted -- lock, stock, and elegant sneer -- from Georgette Heyer's Duke of Avon. There are even parts of Heyer's lines in his speeches.) On the whole, the world of Lyra as it appears in this book is interesting enough for me to want to make a return visit, but the book itself sort of annoyed me as much as it pleased me. A magical white harp that may be death or life to play! A music on which turns the fate of kingdoms! That's the stuff of a fantasy classic, but this book isn't it.
I read this book out loud and my audience would not let me put it down. A great read for young and old alike.
This was an interesting book.
Ms. Wrede is another author I was introduced to mid teens and fell in love iwth her Lyra novels immediately. They are full of great characters, well developed and frought with many of the thoughts and issues that young adults face int he real world.
Emereck the minstrel is traveling with Flindaran, a nobleman masquerading as a mistrel, when he discovers, in an abandoned castle, an ancient, and magical, harp. He would much rather have not found it, because all magic has its price. He has an obligation to bring it to the guild, though, and that means he has to deal with other people's desires surrounding it.
Because the Harp of Imach Thyssel can make a badly wounded man whole, or kill an entire city.
Emereck is plunged into the middle of politics he wants no part of, and is going to need to learn very quickly who his real friends and enemies are.
