About this listen
THE EPIC CONCLUSION TO THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING FANTASY TRILOGY
Praise for THE ENDING FIRE trilogy
'Epic in scope, its worldbuilding as intricate as filigree. THE FINAL STRIFE sings of rebellion, love, and the courage it takes to stand up to tyranny, following three women whose journeys will keep you gripped to the last' Samantha Shannon, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE
‘Epic, gripping, and searing’ Sue Lynn Tan, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of DAUGHTER OF THE MOON GODDESS
‘A game-changing new voice in epic fantasy’ Tasha Suri, author of THE JASMINE THRONE
FOR REBELLION TO IGNITE, SOMETHING MUST BURN.
The Wardens’ Empire is falling. A vigilante known only as the Truthsayer is raising an army against the wardens. Sylah and Hassa must navigate the politics of this new world, all the while searching for Anoor.
Across the sea, the Blood Forged prepare for war, requesting aid from other governments. Jond’s role as major general sees him training their soldiers for combat, but matters of the heart will prove to be the hardest battlefield.
The Zalaam celebrate the arrival of the Child of Fire, heralding the start of the final battle. Anoor’s doubts are eclipsed by the powers of her new god. Soon the Zalaam set off on their last voyage – and few expect to return.

Now here's the rub; so many of the plot points and story threads were mishandled and tied off like a tangled ball of yarn. Jond, Cara, Sylah and Anoor all hacked and slashed. The Zalam had the potential to be so much more frightening overall.
Then we come to the final strife itself; while I appreciate the various view points given during the war I was spectacularly disappointed. This writer has remarkable descriptive skills and such incredible attention to detail, yet the battle scenes were disappointing and flat. Not to mention the entire war was over in seemingly a blink of an eye!
I won't leave any spoilers - because I have fallen foul of reading a review and finding out the ending too many times - but I will say this; after such a brutal, mysterious, complex and passionate story meticulously woven with care and emotion, the ending was trite and sugary and not great.
And that is really disappointing.
A disappointing end.

I have to say, I LOVED the first book and couldn't stop thinking about it, but when book 2 came out I felt like it was mostly setting us up for book 3 and I wasn't very taken by it and felt a bit dissatisfied. I actually re-read it ahead of starting the Ending Fire and appreciated it way more for some reason! it probably just made more sense to me instead of having to take in lots of new info....
anyways, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about book 3 but man.... it delivered!! I was exciting and fun and there was more depth to certain characters. It wrapped up the story well.
it's not a perfect book as there's a few things that made me raise an eyebrow (so I'd actually rate it 4.5 if I could), but overall it was a satisfying and enjoyable conclusion
Had literally been waiting impatiently for the release, was not disappointed

There’s a lot of repetition throughout the books, which felt like the author assumed I wouldn’t be able to remember what happened in the previous book or even just a few chapters ago. This got more and more annoying as the books went on. I liked the idea of the books more than the books themselves. The story was interesting. The characters were interesting. It was fun working out who the people really were and getting that backstory. But none of that is enough for me to recommend the book to anyone.
I think if I was reading this in a physical book I would never have finished the first one. I only stuck with them because it gave me something to listen to on long car drives.
It had potential
