De: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld

The war is over, but a new world is fighting to be born.

The Allied Lands exist in name only, with powerful kings throwing off the shackles of the alliance, powerful magicians scheming to go their own way, and revolutionaries fighting for freedom, democracy, and a chance to stride into a brave new world.

On a peace mission, desperately trying to hammer out a settlement that will keep the radicals and reactionaries from starting yet another civil war, Emily is attacked by Marah, a young woman rescued by her enigmatic master and turned into a living weapon to start the chaos. Seeing something of herself in the girl, Emily takes her as an apprentice both to give her a better chance at life and to use her to track down her master, who appears to have plans of his own...

love the world, hate the characters

why can none of the characters in this book grow? I keep hoping this series will get better but so far, no luck.

The boring drone of classist warfare

This is the umpteenth book that I centered around class and social warfare. I'm starting to get bored of the samey nature of the topic. The only bright and interesting spot in this book is the relationship between Emily and Mara. If the next book is purely about the drive for freedom and the downfall of the aristocracy, I am going to abandon this series.

The great story

Loves it, but I’ve enjoyed this series since the 1st book. I hope more is to come.

what is the sudden focus on rape?

rape and fear of rape was in every single chapter, no matter which point of view was in use. there were literally entire sentences that were repeated later in the book, and some I recognized from repeated use in previous books. I get the idea that some phrases are used almost as "branding", especially in ghost written series, but.... is AI writing these now? if you edited out the endlessly repeated wordiness this book would have been an hour long. what has happened to this series?!?
