Customer Reviews

I'd like to clarify the title confusion.

This series is a TWO-part Duology. The first book goes by both the name "The Wordsmith" and "The List." The second book goes by three names, which are "Mother Tongue" (which seems to be mostly paired with "The Wordsmith"), "The Last Lie," and "The Last Word." I don't own all copied/editions with the varying titles, but from what I've found, no matter which title you have for book 1 or book 2, the stories are the same. Perhaps one set of titles is from a different region since the author is Irish and the book was additionally published outside of Irland. Hope this helps with some of the confusion.

Title????

Is the title The Wordsmith or The List????????
