About this listen

From the New York Times bestselling creator of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes the final book in the epic fantasy trilogy that began with A Plague of Giants, about a war that broke a continent—and opened the door to a new world.

Seeker and Sower

Pen Yas ben Min’s cousin was one of the legendary heroes of the wars against the giants until her untimely death. Pen has grown up in her famous cousin’s shadow, but when she’s given a quest to plant the seed of the magical Fourth Tree, she has a chance to step into the light—and usher in a new age for her country.

Fighter and Friend

Abhi’s life—and the world—changed when he discovered a lost magic: the power to speak to animals. After fighting so many battles, he’s weary and longs for home and his love, Tamhan. But before he can return, there is one last mission that only Abhi can complete: to speak to the colossal creatures who wait beneath the waves—the krakens.

Sailor and Explorer

Koesha and her shipmates have already made an impossible journey by navigating the Northern Yawn, at the end of which she secured an unusual cloak. But when that cloak turns out to be the key to unlocking the mystery of the Seventh Kenning, Koesha has to risk everything on another life-threatening journey and hope that she can steer her crew to safety.

Excellent conclusion to an excellent trilogy

A fitting end to the trilogy. Day 52 is really something. Both of the narrators continue to knock the voices out of the park. Thanks for this ride Kevin!

Great world building

Luke Daniel’s range of voices combined with Hearne’s world building stand out in a crowd of Fantasy sagas. The magic system is interesting and the history and detail put into this series is amazing. The only thing that I didn’t care for overall were a few earthly words/idioms used in the series, but they are few and far between.

Beautiful

I have never cried and smiled through the closing chapters of any book in my life and will always keep the characters, their stories, and their lessons with me forever.

A satisfying conclusion

A satisfying conclusion to this interesting trilogy. With a combination of horror, action, and tongue-in-cheek comedy, this series from Kevin Hearne sets up a world of unique forms of magic, framed through the lens of a recounting of an invasion.

The story has a wide cast of characters with their own unique viewpoints, and wraps up the loose ends fairly cleanly with no mysterious foreshadowing of a growing evil to setup another trilogy.

That being said, the world is rich enough that there are many more tales that could be told in this world setting, I look forward to a return to the world of the 7 kennings again in the future.

a great ending to a wonderful series

I pre ordered this. Mr. Herne has graduated to an "insta buy author." And Mr. Daniel's performance is wonderful of course.

Please never sing again.

This third installment is amazing. And the audible version is again unforgivably marred by the truly, terribly, and completely cringworthy attempts of the best audible narrator's at song in the beginning of every chapter. I dreaded this element of the book as much, no MORE than I looked forward to Hearne's epic conclusion.
