Resumen del Editor

The Memory of Souls is the third epic fantasy in Jenn Lyons’ Chorus of Dragons series and one of Library Journal's best SF&F books of the year!

THE LONGER HE LIVES
THE MORE DANGEROUS HE BECOMES

Now that Relos Var’s plans have been revealed and demons are free to rampage across the empire, the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies - and the end of the world - is closer than ever.

To buy time for humanity, Kihrin needs to convince the king of the Manol vané to perform an ancient ritual which will strip the entire race of their immortality, but it’s a ritual which certain vané will do anything to prevent. Including assassinating the messengers.

Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with the horrifying possibility that his connection to the king of demons, Vol Karoth, is growing steadily in strength.

How can he hope to save anyone when he might turn out to be the greatest threat of them all?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Lyons has cleverly taken the epic fantasy tropes of prophecy and lineage and stood them on their heads, all while delving deep into her multidimensional characters and spinning great battles with high body counts.” (Booklist, starred review)

“Lyons braids multiple points of view, tenses, and time lines into a richly detailed and elaborate story with increasing tension and stakes.... The third Chorus of Dragons book is an exciting entry in the series, culminating in an intriguing endpoint that will have readers excited for the next book.” (Library Journal)

Damn good series

This reviews is kinda for all 3 books that have come out so far.

In the first book I found myself enthralled. The story was fairly easy to follow and got only better once you made realizations between past keerin and present keerin and all the pieces fell into place. I found myself pleasantly surprised by the take on sensuality and how it was dealt with (after all, gay people do exist).

The second book was almost just as good as the first book and once again I found myself excited by a book that kills boring gender norms. The concept of trans in this book is really well done. Before the heavy spread of monotheistic religions concepts of homosexuality, trans and 3rd gender was fairly prevalent. It only makes sense that a place untouched by unnatural concepts like "being gay is a sin" would be quite accepting. overall I hope people can learn and get over their bad preconceived concepts to enjoy a truly good book series.

The third book was damn good. I finished it in about 3 days. The book honestly felt like several different stories that fit into a nice puzzle. It was nice to see the characters all grow together and realize that those who made the rules are intact fallible and "not gods" as several would say. This series gives you many characters to identify with regardless of side. The concepts of sexuality were in no way pandering or(as some clearly biased homophobic comments would say) being shoved down your throat. It's nice to see that the characters are realistic people with fears, love, hate, and maturity. It's not the same old boring generic hero character put in the world to slay the villain, act cool, and get the girl. It's multiple people who do what they can to survive and find a better way for everyone. It's nice to see that keerin, even though he is the main character who you follow, is not the only hero, and that he doesn't always get the kill, he doesn't always make it in time. He fails and he's human.

Soooo awesome

Jenn Lyons did such a good job on this book it is the best book so far in this series. Well done Jenn Lyons another awesome book

It's official: It is Joe, Jenn and George

Like any memorable meal, I grew hungry to eat, a bit of 'hangry' perhaps...altho truly just mild impatience. And like any memorable meal, it was absolutely worth the journey.
Jenn Lyons' stories are somehow not the same destination as Joe or George. I can't quite put a finger on it. Thats the brilliance, can't predict how this will end. A Mt Rushmore of the greatest epic fantasy writers would include her for sure. Just after Joe and honestly...yes, before George.

Best one yet.

I laugh and giggled at parts. others I was like NFW almost and we'll ok that's why some reviews put comments the way they did. one definitely has to hear or read prior books.

Great series, best book yet

I don’t usually write reviews, but I figured I’d say this book is pretty good.

Brilliant. Intense.

This is so damn good! I love every chapters of it! It made me sad, cry, laugh, frightened. The battlescenes were perfect! It gave me goosebumps when characters from Books 1 and 2 all came together in that battle. I can't wait for my copy of The House of Always to arrive in September so that I can read it asap.

Feodor Chin and Vikas Adam did a fantastic job as always!

Narration is maddening

I am all the way into this series - the plotlines, characters, and writing style. The narration on 1and 2 the characters personalities really come alive. Book 3 narration has driven me crazy since the opening. Characters names and place names pronounced differently, really,,? The new narrators didn't study the previous ones? Characters tone of voice more different than the 4 year elapsed time. Accents come and go. Janel sounds more like a valley girl when not sounding like a bore. Khirin sounds like a preteen brat. Theirin sounds like a dotard. Tallin , can't even describe it.
Audible, Authors, please try to conrtact narration to remain stable through a series. Or at least make narrators that come in later study the previous ones!
I'll only make it to the end with a lot of fast forwarding

Good next chapter

Great ending but took awhile to get there. The family ties are always confusing. But you manage. I enjoyed it.

Best one yet!

I really enjoyed it, one of the best I've read this year! The world histories and magic mechanics have all been spelled out in the first 2 books, so now the plot is flying and taking some really surprising turns! Khirin is back in the driver's seat of the story and craftier than ever and I can't wait to see what's next.

cheesy and slow but redeemed in the end

This is the first book I've had to speed up the narration - until I did I found myself annoyed at basically every moment. The characters are all overly emotional and the story is pretty disjointed, but the end redeemed the book to some extent. It's really hard to follow without some character maps or resources where you can refresh your memory of certain characters and events.
