Candle & Crow

Ink & Sigil, Book 3

De: Kevin Hearne

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes the final book in the “action-packed, enchantingly fun” (Booklist) Ink & Sigil series, as an ink-slinging wizard pursues the answer to a very personal mystery: Who cast a pair of curses on his head?

Al MacBharrais has a most unusual job: He’s a practitioner of ink-and-sigil magic, tasked with keeping order among the gods and monsters that dwell hidden in the human world. But there’s one supernatural mystery he’s never been able to solve: Years ago, someone cast twin curses on him that killed off his apprentices and drove away loved ones who heard him speak, leaving him bereft and isolated.

But he’s not quite alone: As Al works to solve this mystery, his friends draw him into their own eccentric dramas. Buck Foi the hobgoblin has been pondering his own legacy—and has a plan for a daring shenanigan that will make him the most celebrated hobgoblin of all. Nadia, goth queen and battle seer, is creating her own cult around a god who loves whisky and cheese.

And the Morrigan, a former Irish death goddess, has decided she wants not only to live as an ordinary woman but also to face the most perilous challenge of the mortal world: online dating.

Meanwhile, Al crosses paths with old friends and new—including some beloved Druids and their very good dogs—in his globe-trotting quest to solve the mystery of his curses. But he’s pulled in so many different directions by his colleagues, a suspicious detective, and the whims of destructive gods that Al begins to wonder: Will he ever find time to write his own happy ending?

Same Narrator, Different voices

All these Iron Druid books and suddenly a different voice for him? So many of the voices are the same as the prior books and are often not consistent throughout. So weird and distracting.

Great finish to the series.

I love Kevin and Luke! Great story delivered beautiful. It's a shame it was only 3 books

Excellent story overdramatized performance

This is an excellent end with a series and the characters. I find that the narrator have ever, has become more and more dramatic over the years. Unfortunately, that attracts from the story.

Funny and engaging. Definitely recommend it.

He’s a very good author, and has built an interesting world around magical inks and sigils. He’s a bit woke with comments about the patriarchy and such, but they don’t really detract from the story. Maybe it’s a UK thing? The narrator is both good and bad. I enjoyed it, but there were times when I had a hard time understanding what the character was saying because of the accents. Sometimes I had to rewind it a bit to listen to Buck Foy’s comments again.

The BLOOPERS are great

The story was awesome too lol!! I love Luke Daniels and Kevin Hearne knows how to write stories that keep you entertained.

Wonderful Wrap Up

A perfect balance of new wonders built on our favorite characters and themes. Beautifully narrated, as always, by one of the best!

A fitting conclusion to the trilogy

Kevin continues the storyline giving plenty of substance to propel the story of Al, Nadia, Buck Foi, and Roxanne to a very satisfying conclusion. I truly enjoyed listening to Mr Daniel's Scottish accents and his voice acting throughout the Ink & Sigil series.

Kevin

loved the audio outtakes. lol I don't like to have a limit if words when I review a book.

Great narrator

I've listened to the Iron Druid Chronicles as well as the Ink & Sigil series. Luke Daniel's is an amazing narrator. it's obvious the amount of work and care he takes in looking up correct pronunciations, phrasing, etc. He takes what is already a great story and gives it extra value with his narration.

Loved It! More Pleassseee!

Love the Iron Druid Chronicles and the previous Ink and Sigil Books. This one was amazing too! So delightful big things happened in this book. I hope there are more books to come!!!
