Publisher's summary

Time seemed to collapse…There was a sharp stabbing sensation in my stomach…Steve crowed, "Now I have you! Now you're gonna die!"

Dead if he loses - damned if he wins. The time has finally come for Darren to face his arch enemy, Steve Leopard, and fight for control of the night. One of them will die. The other will become the Lord of the Shadows …and destroy the world.

Is the future written, or can Darren trick destiny?

Ending - he must have gotten tired

What disappointed you about Sons of Destiny?

There was no real end to the story. It essentially erased everyting up to the point

What could Darren Shan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Had a real ending.

What about Ralph Lister’s performance did you like?

He was very good - all characters were real.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Frustration and disappointment that there was no kind of wrap up - the last couple of paragraphs essentially undid the entire story.

Stop 30 minutes or so before it actually ends.

Immediately after the end of Steve and Darren's confrontation. Turn it off. Do yourself a favor and stop.

Throught the entire series our friend Darren just couldn't figure out what vampires and vampettes were and weren't capable of. Regardless though the story was still very engaging.

In the last half hour or so of this good but terrible book the author accomplished what others have so famously before. Im looking at you lost. He completely neutered the entire plot of his series. Sets everyone up for a huge disappointment.

You know how the the books are typically better than the movies. The movies were canceled and id still rather watch the ONE movie than read this book again.

I usually don't want to be so mean about work like this. I get that as an aspiring writer you fall in love with your characters. Darren seemed to hate his, and us.

Hate the ending

Darren is denied his love interest and the fulfillment of seeing the vampires prosper himself. It could have been written to end more positively for the main character

BEST BOOK SERIES EVERR

I love listening to stories and getting to know the characters but I have never found a book that has actually got me caring or feeling any emotion for the characters, when I found the first book I thought it would be like that but I was so wrong! Every one in the comments are saying that this series sucks or it had a bad ending, I think they need to take a hike because this story is filled with twists, amazing characters, amazing performance from the author, and an amazing ending. This is my favorite book series I have EVER read and I am sad it is over, this was truly an experience, all the haters just can’t take the gore/ screaming, me personally that is my favorite genre so 1000000/10 for me :)

Best book series ever!

I see complaining about the series not having a "happy ending" for Darren but that was the point he made from the beginning, in real life, stories dont always have happy endings. The good guys dont always win. That being said, I'd say getting to go back n be human again, have his family n friends back, and live a normal life is a great ending for him. Ive read/listened to this series about 10 times now, and I will keep rereading them again & again. Darren Shan is an amazing author and his books are full of twists and surprises that no other authors could make work.

Cry Emoji's... LOVED EVERY BOOK!!

I have never listened to a serious so interesting and that had me so invested in the character's. The performance was incredible and absolutely held my attention with every unique voice each character had. Such an incredible serious of books.

enjoyed listening

enjoyed listening to the series The narrator did an awesome job on the book reading

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!!!!!!

I absolutely loved this series. I loved the characters, setting, everything. I highly recommend reading this series.

le sigh...

I am upset at myself that I did not get through these books years ago. I am a 46-year-old woman and when I tell you I was on the end of my damn seat most of the time it wouldn't be enough to explain how enthralled I was in this story. I cannot wait, hoping with fingers crossed, for there to be a continuation to the story. I need to know what happens to Darren shent. It is ridiculous how much I have become invested in the characters and the story of these novels. kudos on all fronts!

My favorite book series from high school

This was such an amazingly excellent finish to what is an absolutely incredible series, will be listening to it all again.

My son and I loved this series. Perfect narration and smashing storey well don’t all

One of the best series I've come across

It's so good I can't find anything else like it and really frustrates me I've listened to this twice inside 3 weeks. I'd like to see the larten crepsley saga get audiobooked as well because I love those even more and what of the rest of the authors books like the demonata series I need more!!

Phenomenal

I have no words the journey was great, destination, good , and tied up how it all ties in how it hints that this is actually really great
