The flame of rebellion burns across the solar system in this dazzling conclusion to Linden A. Lewis’s stunning First Sister trilogy perfect for fans of Red Rising, The Handmaid’s Tale, and The Expanse.

Astrid is finally free of the Sisterhood, yet her name carries on. She’s called the Unchained by those she’s inspired and the Heretic by those who want her voiceless once more. Now Astrid uses knowledge of the Sisterhood’s inner workings against them, aiding the moonborn in raids against abbeys and Cathedrals, all the while exploring the mysteries of her forgotten past.

However, the Sisterhood thrives under the newly appointed Mother Lilian I, who’s engaged in high-stakes politics among the Warlords and the Aunts to rebuild the Sisterhood in her own image. But the evil of the Sisterhood can’t be purged with anything less than fire...

Meanwhile, Hiro val Akira is a rebel without an army, a Dagger without a Rapier. As protests rock the streets of Cytherea, Hiro moves in the shadows, driven by grief and vengeance, as they hunt the man responsible for all their pain: their father...

Transformed by the Genekey virus, Luce navigates the growing schism within the Asters on Ceres. Hurting in her new body, she works to bridge two worlds seemingly intent on mutual destruction. All while mourning her fallen brother, though Lito sol Lucius’s memory may yet live on.

Yet Souji val Akira stands in judgment on them all, plotting the future for all of humanity, and running out of time before war erupts between the Icarii and Geans. But can even the greatest human intellect outwit the Synthetics?

This “sprawling, queer space opera” (NPR) trilogy comes to a sensational climax in this final installment, and is a must-read for science fiction fans everywhere.

Great Conclusion!

But the readers for the twins are atrocious. Lily’s reader mispronounces words and Castor’s reader is so robotic and slow, I could barely continue. It’s a shame because the story is so good. Readers should be required to listen to previous books in a series when they join a series.

Amazing end to an amazing series!!

The voice actors are, like always, excellent. And the story finally reached the big crescendo it has been building up since book one. All loose threads were connected, and I'm pretty satisfied to see the conclusion of each characters arch. Can't recommend this series enough.

Great conclusion!

I’ve really enjoyed this series and really like how each character perspective had a different reader

Obsessed

An amazing ending to an amazing trilogy. I loved every moment of the this wild ride.

Not bad

A solid ending, not quite as exciting as the first two books. I would recommend.

As consistently good as books 1&2

Overall this is a very solid conclusion to the trilogy. The story line and characters have been consistently good from the start.
For those comparing this to the Red Rising books, I think that is off base. These books stand on their own. There are similarities but very general similarities.
The performances, as with book 2, are very inconsistent. Some readers are fantastic while two are so stiff that it takes away from the characters a bit.
This a great series. Read it. Enjoy it. Recommend it.

Couldn't put it down

I loved everything about the story. The only thing is I wish the narrators had all spoken with the author about pronunciations because it was inconsistent for some words and names throughout this book in particular compared to the other two books.

Hot mess

This series was all over the place. While not unenjoyable overall, by the end on this third book I was just bored if every character.

Disappointing ending

I was so hooked on the first two books in this series and this one was one I could not get into. It took me months to get through this book and I found a large drag was the numerous changes POV coupled with the complicated plot lines for each character. Overall, I felt overwhelmed and a little scattered when reading through this last book.
