About this listen

THE EPIC CONCLUSION TO THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING FANTASY TRILOGY

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A disappointing end.

Let's list the positive points first; Hassa's character progression was beautifully written, the introduction of new parts of the world was handled with care and attention to detail and the recurrence of certain themes from the first part of the story was masterful. The narrator was wonderful again too.
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.

I don’t know how to feel!!!

The first two books are two of my absolute favourite books of all time, however I couldn’t help but feel disappointment from this book? Don’t get me wrong, it was still very good, but nowhere near the scale of the first two

Had literally been waiting impatiently for the release, was not disappointed

I devoured this last installment of the trilogy.

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
