Resumen del Editor

The magical, stunning conclusion to the internationally acclaimed Half Bad trilogy, the inspiration for the Netflix series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself

The Alliance is losing. Their most critical weapon, seventeen-year-old witch Nathan Brynn, has killed fifty-two people, and yet he's no closer to ending the tyrannical, abusive rule of the Council of Witches in England. Nor is Nathan any closer to his personal goal: getting revenge on Annalise, the girl he once loved, before she committed an unthinkable crime. There is an amulet, protected by the extremely powerful witch Ledger, which could be the tool Nathan needs to save himself and the Alliance. But the amulet is not so easily acquired. And lately Nathan has started to suffer from visions: a vision of a golden moment when he dies, and of an endless line of Hunters, impossible to overcome. Gabriel, his closest companion, encourages Nathan to run away with him, to start a peaceful life together. But even Gabriel's love may not be enough to save Nathan from this war, or from the person he has become.

Set in modern-day Europe, the final book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. It’s a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love.

Now streaming on Netflix as The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.

Cover may vary.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of the finest recent examples of YA fantasy." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

"A poignant finale to a trilogy.... A melancholy yet perfectly pitched denouement." (Booklist, starred review)

"An immensely satisfying finale of dazzling magic, hard-earned romance, and the tragic realities of war." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

What an ending to an amazing series!

I was laughing, and sobbing, and sobbing, and sobbing. I can't say I'm in favour of the ending but it was a great one that left me—you guessed it—sobbing.

Best of the series

Honestly I thought that I wouldn't be able to get through the first part of this book. There are interesting and challenging decisions made for the main characters that were at time frustrating and unenjoyable. However, it seems to have just been the "dark night of the soul" part of the story and I really enjoyed the rest of the book. The relationship between the main characters finally develops and is written so well. I usually think endings are hard for writers but this book has the, to me, one of the best and well written endings of any book I have ever read/listened to. Up until the second half of this book, which is the third and last in this series, I thought the Netflix show seemed better. But now I wonder how the show is ever going to capture the emotion and feeling of this book.

Tear Jerker

It's not the end I wanted, but it's a real and gritty and honest end. It really reminds me of interacting with those with severe ptsd. It's a very real end.

Damn good

Moving without being over done.

Poetic without losing the overall tone.

Passionate without being smutty.

Action packed without being redundant.

This whole series blew me away, I laughed and cried and it was worth it.

I am destroyed....

I came to the series after being hooked by the Netflix show. I hate that it was cancelled and I wanted more. While the writing is great and the narrator is amazing, I don't think I will ever be able to listen to this book again. I become too emotionally attached to handle endings like that. I am gutted. 💔

great as always

I just wanted to say that I have loved this writer and narrative from day one thank you both

amazing

it was hands down the best book I've listened to it was extremely well put together

all around beautiful book!!! this is my 5th × thru

every aspect of this series is amazing the only thing negative about the series is that it is over and I'm left feeling empty until I begin the series again!

Phenomenal narrator!!

Any additional comments?

Carl Prekopp was everything for this book. He narrated each character as though he were 20 different people. Made this series so fun to listen to.

I’m in awe

It’s over and I’m sad that I’ll never be able to read it for the first time again.

The series had many flaws, but building emotional bonds between characters was beyond my expectations.
