You know what I love? I love an author who isn’t afraid to make a trilogy. Nowadays, it seems everyone wants to create an open ended world that they can play in in perpetuity, but have no responsibility to the reader/listener. I think o Geore RR Martin and his it will end but never end GOT, Jim Butcher’s see no end in sight Harry Dresden, and even Earle’s Lion’s Quest. Too much time passes between each project, and with no real end in sight the poor fan has to suffer and hope that a series will see some love from its creator. Cooper plays this smart. He sets up a trilogy that is self contained, but is also set in a shared universe in which other events take place. So you keep the setting and get different events and characters. More importantly, he concludes his story. So, yay for his consideration.
Now, as for his story. . .WOW. What a way to end it. Revenge isn’t easy, and loss is hard. Our heroes suffer, and sacrifice, but in the end we get the big BOOM we have been waiting for, and it has been worth the wait. The story is much fastre paced than the previous book, and you will probably need to stop the book to catch your breath. There are times your heart will break, and then you might just find it healed. Roller coaster doesn’t do this book justice as a descriptor. I got this and immediately started listening.
This is the third book, so don’t listen until you get the first two.
Hays and Ellicot really put their all into this performance, and the emotion is real. Seriously, these folks should get a grammy for thier performances. You hear them and all you can think of is this is why they are professionals.
The combination of their vocals and Cooper’s writing makes for a nitrogyleric combination of words that are dangerously volatile to your mind!! So beware, they will move you.
Great book, brilliant series.
Get it now.
