Publisher's summary

A new kind of war has come to the continent of Ithos.

Airborne mage armies traverse enemy territory in utter secrecy. Vast city-liches conspire to influence events from afar, while city-states and archmages unleash strange new magics in a rapidly accelerating magical arms race. Nations and great powers that have remained quiescent for years have begun reaching out into the growing power vacuum. Magical superweapons and giant monsters are wielded by every side in a deadly tangle of alliances and factions, as each squabbling force spirals in towards their inevitable final conflict. At the center of that spiral lays the capital of the Havath Dominion, where a vengeful madman has proclaimed the precise date and time he will destroy the city.

The Last Echo will ring, and in its wake looms the threat of the Tongue Eater. Hugh and his friends are the only ones who can stop the ancient weapon, but the web of lies they've woven is fraying rapidly, and even their own allies have begun to question their mission. Monsters and archmages capable of leveling cities would stop at nothing to claim the Tongue Eater, leaving Hugh and the others with no one to trust.

And if they fail to stop the Tongue Eater, it could mean madness and death for the entire continent.

Truly a blessing and a work of art

While narration was good, narrator had limited range of voices. I had to back track oh who was talking, but aside from that, he has a great narrating voice. Story wise, this is amazing. Truly and deeply amazing. I am so happy to join this journey from start to finish. I will check out his patreon for additional stories, you should too. Thank you John Bierce for the great experience.

Excellent

An excellent end to a great series. I enjoyed it the whole way through. Thanks

Love

Audible got me hooked when they included the first book in our free with subscription and I’ve loved it ever since!

Can't wait for more

10/10 love this book and I am glad to have found this book series.

Satisfying ending

I am glad I listened to this book and it was a satisfying ending to the series, but I think I can sum up the pain with "excruciating detail". Entire chapters that did nothing to progress the story. I struggled to pay attention for probably 1/2 of the book. That aside, it really was a great finish to the series. Fantastic characters and world building. Plenty of new hooks for a future series or extension. And not to be missed , the narration was excellent. He brought life to the characters and made them people for me.

Great story

This book is a pretty great ending or pause to an amazing story. It had non-stop action and tension as a lot of the plot was wrapped up or explained. It seemed like almost none of the characters were safe from death in the giant battles which made it unpredictable and fun.

Fantastic Story but just a little too much

Loved the series and I love this conclusion. I have a similar complaint to other reviews. There is a lot of extra story. The extra story is well written but it’s sometimes about things or people you may not care about. Still the story overall is satisfying enough that this small gripe is easily overlooked.

An Excellent Series

A really solid fantasy series with pretty good diversity and representation, which was refreshing. Looking forward to the next book in this series and trying out his other series.

If you enjoyed the rest of this series, you’ll enjoy this one too

If you’ve enjoyed the rest of the series, you will enjoy this book as well. I’ll pick up his next book when he puts it out.
