IT'S TIME FOR HER POWER TO RULE.

As Henrietta nervously awaits her marriage to Lord Blackwood, she discovers that Sorrow-Fell is not a safe haven from the bloodthirsty Ancients. It's a trap. So with her friend Maria and Magnus, the young man who once stole her heart, at her side, Henrietta plots a dangerous journey straight into the enemy's lair. Some will live. Some will die. All will be tested.

In this stunning conclusion to the Kingdom on Fire series, Henrietta must choose between the love from her past, the love from her present, and a love that could define her future. The fate of the kingdom rests on her decision: Will she fall or rise up to become the woman who saves the realm?

Fantastic conclusion to the Kingdom on Fire series

A Sorrow Fierce and Falling is the third and final book of the Kingdom of Fire series. Fiona Hardingham continues her fine job of narrating the series. Her variety of accents help her give unique voices to each of the characters.

Henrietta is locking in battle with the Ancient Ones. This time the battle is not just for London but for the world. The Ancient Ones wish to swallow the British Isles whole and then move on to the rest of the world. Henrietta finds more clues on how the Ancient Ones came to our world and hopes one of the clues will help her defeat them. Sorcerers, witches, faeries, magicians and a young Queen Victoria populate this England at war. If you read books 1 and 2, you need to read book 3 to see the conclusion. If you haven't read the series yet, check it out.

It was very hard to write this review without spoilers. I am afraid I did not do the book justice.

A Satisfying Ending to the series

I really enjoyed how the story ended. The book provided closure to all of the characters and plot lines. The best part was the character growth of all of the characters, which made the ending very satisfying.

Heart Bursting, Twist turns and deeply satisfying conclusion

Perfectly rendered. My heart is squeezing for all the characters I’ve come to love and hate and know so well. Such a well crafted conclusion.

epic ending! you will cry, laugh, and be shocked!

I loved this series and sad to see it end. there is a lot of heart aches and sadness in the last book but the ending was right for the series. lots of character growth. loved all the main characters. great job Jessica Cluess and Fiona rocked it as usual. that woman is endless in her abilities and talents.

emotional, overwhelming, beautiful

this book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. it was emotional, and overwhelming at times.... but beautiful all the same.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

I’m not much one to write reviews, so I’ll keep it short. I thoroughly enjoyed taking part of Jessica’s world of magicians, sorcerers and witches. It was a great escape. Loved Henrietta, Rook and Magnus, and many other characters in this series. What a creative mind you have Ms. Cluess.

Good series good voice

Fiona Hardingham has such a great narrator voice. Also the series was pretty good with some nice lore.
