About this listen

Two siblings divided by magic and revolution must finally join forces and rally the people to take down the Twilight Order once and for all in the final book of this brilliantly imagined epic fantasy trilogy.

The last surviving Chosen, Ashok has finally risen up and taken control of The Twilight Order. He promises equality and prosperity, but Gyre and Maya know the truth. Only death follows in Ashok's wake. To take him down, Gyre will have to unite old allies from all across The Splinter Kingdoms and the depths of Deepfire. And Maya will have to seek out a legendary weapon hidden in the mountains that could turn the tide in their battle for freedom.

Critic reviews

"With a swift-paced narrative and likeable, well-developed characters, the book engages with some very serious issues while maintaining the fantasy action. Religious and political intrigues, sibling rivalry, a sensitive same-sex relationship, and racial and class animosity are all touched on. An outstanding conclusion to the Burningblade & Silvereye trilogy."—Booklist

Perfect

Such a good series finale. I could, of course, use another 400 books set in this world.

A Wonderful Conclusion to a Good Trilogy

This trilogy was a pleasant surprise for me. I listened to this trilogy at 1.25 speed and that made quite a difference.

An okay end to an otherwise solid series

The performance is great! The story has so much going for it coming off of books 1&2, yet it all seems to fizzle to a finish for me. It’s by no means bad. It is an enjoyable read, but it is certainly not one I would reread or rave about to others. Endings are important to me. Wrapping up a trilogy is no easy task, but this one leaves some to be desired

Did not finish

I couldn’t finish it, maybe I’ll try it in print format later as the narration was unbearable to me. Narrator makes every character sound like annoyed teenagers.

Did not finish

I listened to the first two books in this series while working in my yard, and they were okay at helping me fill the time. I got about 35% of the way through this one, then moved on to several other books, and I just can’t get myself to start reading this book again. I guess it just isn’t for me - the chocobos and the anime hair colors and the ancient history revealed… it’s fine, but I think I need to move on.

The cliches!

Despite some interesting world building, this series is pretty forgettable. The dialogue is forced, cliched, stiff and repetitive. The narration only reinforces the whiny YA simplicity. The intimate scenes feel like they were written by sophomores passing notes in class. The climactic battle is broken by so many unbelievable pauses for dialogue and wold view explications that it has all the momentum of a seizing transmission.
