Publisher's summary

The invasion is here. Already decimated by civil war, the armies of the Three Kingdoms struggle desperately to mount a defense against a force stronger than any they have fought before.

In the midst of the chaos, the actions and choices of a select few will shape the future of the land. Akira prepares to give up his Lordship.

definitely a good series I enjoyed every minute of

The ending was not too much of a shock but it would definitely be what was needed. Everyone alive in the end is a fairly tale told to children

Excellent! a great culmination

A great series that I plan on reading several times for sure! one of my favorite narrators so far!

Different

A different type of story of the ninja . Interesting twist on the legendary Japanese warriors as the myths of did make them seem to have super human abilities. It wasn't the type of story that completely blows people away . It did keep me interested and entertained. I also appreciated that the author did not try to hard to shock or dismay the readers. He had a story to tell and told it without trying to pander to anyone.

This trilogy was great!

Ryan Kirk knows how to keep you wanting more. The prequels can’t quench the thirst I have for more story. The ending isn’t quite what I expected and not quite satisfying but the overall story arch from the first to third book was engaging, thrilling, heart breaking and filled with sorrow and hope. I loved it very much, even with some things I preferred happening differently.

Andrew Tell’s performance takes a while to get used to but is quite enjoyable after you do. I enjoy his main character voices and that they stayed the same throughout the trilogy. It takes a lot of talent to keep one listening to just your voice and I commend him in his endurance and skill to do so. He’s not the best, but I appreciated having him narrate all three stories.

Perfect

This book was a true delight to listen to. I enjoyed tracking character progress, and the likeable characters combined with the compelling story makes this book one I expect to come back to again and again. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good listen.

Love this trilogy

Performance: Andrew Tell delivered a great performance 5 out of 5.
Story: I dont want to make any spoilers, but the story line in this book was very satisfying; or at least it was to me. Main characters are memorable and are very likeable. Main bad guys are complex enough to have a rational explanation for their action rather than traditional "Im gonna destroy the world because Im evil". I recommend this trilogy big time.

Best Yet

Just when you think it's not going to get any better...it really really really does!!.

Too Much Previous Material Included

This recording included about 1.5 hours of material that seemed an exact repetition of material from book 2. Since I had just finished it, I did not enjoy the repetition. I was torn between an overall rating of 4 stars and an overall rating of 3 stars. The narrator made the difference.

Good Stuff

I really enjoyed this series. Heroic action. Moral development. Growth in character . some inconsistencies

Great book

The book left me satisfied and it developed the characters even further and get quite attached them
