Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on.

Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan.

My fave in the series
Any additional comments?
The final two books in this series are narrated by a new voice actor from the first one, and although he doesn't have any really standout character voices like Wren did, he is also much better overall. He gets the pronunciation of everything right, the pacing is good and the emotions he infuses the dialogue with are incredibly moving. There was one section in particular that I relistened to about five times before I moved on because it was so powerful - part of that was the amazing writing, but the narration really enhanced it. I still don't know if I'd recommend listening to the audiobooks if you haven't actually read the series first, but maybe that's because I adored the experience of actually reading them so much. Basically, no matter how you get them, they're going to be good.

The Lumatere Chronicles are Brilliant.
These books just keep getting better. Often you read a first book in a series and the following ones never meet your expectations, however this author is a magical writer, they just keep getting better and better. New and old characters, it's great seeing the old characters continue after their happily ever after and get fully submerged into the lives of new ones. Fantastic book and really enjoyed the narration for these books.

I find that I am greedy.
I find that even after reading the final words in this series I still want more. I want to weave stories in my head of the lives that I have come to know through the pages of these books. I am thankful that unlike many other stories in this genre that my favorite characters did not lose their lives in bloody carnage but I want to share this reading experience with others so that they too can lose themselves in the lives of these characters and mountains, valleys and villages of these landsI would love for this to be picked up and made into a trilogy of movies (please not a tv series) but for now I think I will be satisfied to re-read and re-listen to these books.

Thoroughly Enjoyable.
The Lumatere Chronicles, are right up there with some of the best books that I have read. Marchetta's characters are three dimensional, distinctive, diverse and believable. Her narrative is entertaining and her plot exceptional. This is a totally entertaining story, from start to finish.
