Story
Four hundred years in the future, the Earth has turned primitive following a nuclear fire that has laid waste to civilization and nature. Though the radiation fallout has ended, for some unknowable reason every person is born with a twin. Of each pair, one is an Alpha, physically perfect in every way, and the other an Omega, burdened with deformity, small or large. With the Council ruling an apartheid-like society, Omegas are branded and ostracized while the Alphas have gathered the world's sparse resources for themselves.

Story
A mummified corpse, over half a century old, is found in the cellar of an abandoned building in a remote New Mexico ghost town. Corrie Swanson is assigned what seems to her a throwaway case: to ID the body and determine cause of death. She brings archaeologist Nora Kelly to excavate the body and lend her expertise to the investigation, and together they uncover something unexpected and shocking: the deceased apparently died in agony, in a fetal position, skin coming off in sheets, with a rictus of horror frozen on his face. Hidden on the corpse lies a 16th-century Spanish gold cross.

Story
A thousand years have passed since a dragon has been seen in the world. Science and technology have replaced magic, which has dwindled until it has become little more than an element of myth and legend. There are those who still have dragon blood flowing through their veins, distant descendants of the mighty creatures of old. These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars...or ending them.

Story
Kihrin is a bastard orphan who grew up on storybook tales of long-lost princes and grand quests. When he is claimed against his will as the long-lost son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds that being a long-lost prince isn't what the storybooks promised. He also discovers that the storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, true love, and how the hero always wins. Then again, maybe he’s not the hero, for Kihrin is not destined to save the empire. He’s destined to destroy it.

The last of the Culling Trials is here. I foolishly thought I’d survived the worst. My team is falling to pieces around me, and my heart is shattered for the losses I’ve endured. But I can’t stop when I’m so close to the end. There are too many people depending on me. I foolishly thought there wasn’t much more I could lose...until the nature of my bloodline comes to light. I’m not who I thought I was. Not what anyone thought I was. But to tell people the truth would be to kill us all.

They’ve taken the most precious thing from us both. A child who could be everything they need to force all the elementals to bend a knee.

Being accepted into an elite school of magic, monsters, and assassins was not my idea of higher education. But here I am, fighting my way through the Culling Trials to claim my right to be taught. As if the gauntlet-type physical and mental tests aren’t enough, people are going missing. People who are my friends. In a dangerous world where no one is as they seem, the golden rule is simple: Trust no one. They think we should just look out for ourselves. That we should leave the fallen behind and ask no questions. They clearly think we’re idiots.

In 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation - including starships - virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now a step away from any other. And all seems wonderful - until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world 89 light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem....

I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already...until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. In an invitation. My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn't go, our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago - the same place where he mysteriously died.

As if surviving the end of the world and the theft of my powers wasn’t enough on their own, a heaping pile of ogre and a side of human raiders has been added to my plate while trying to feed our starving caravan. The worst of what I face, though, is far harder to admit. My black magic takes its pound of flesh every time I use it, and each time the cost climbs. And yet, it calls to me, seducing me, all the while consuming little pieces of my soul. It’s a right bastard like that.

Good Story To The End
Really liked this third book. The narration was much improved from the 2nd book and the story stayed strong to the end. Continued twists and turns kept it very interesting. Also liked the ending (no spoilers). This was an interesting series with a new and unique story line. I enjoyed it very much.

A good Wrap Up
My husband and I listened to the entire Trilogy together on our vacation(s) trips. I felt the series was good, and it kept both of us entertained. There was resolution to the most all of the issues that had been presented throughout the series. And while it was not exactly a happily ever after for all, the ending did fit with characters and choices that they made. I feel this would be a great series that could be listened to by a family with enough to keep ages pre-teen to adult engaged and entertained.

Mediocre?
The third and final novel of the Fire Sermon involves the resistance's struggle against the council, their quest to save omegas, and them trying to prevent several awful acts by the General and Zach.
Plot-wise, the book was pretty good and kept me listening to see what happened.
However, the book is just too full of filler. The book could have been cut in half and have been much better. There is way too much whining by Cass, arguing over stupid stuff, Cass flying off the handle if someone doesn't agree with her, etc. The motivations and actions of Zach never really made much sense. There is this big thing everyone is trying to prevent the council from doing to elsewhere, and the motivation there never made any sense either. About half-way in the novel there is a huge deal made about what happened to a seer called Xander, and it just fell flat because the author never bothered to try to get us to actually care about Xander. Throughout the novel Cass always holds suicide as a weapon over Zach, but it was pretty much a waste of time because Cass was way too selfish to ever put an end to herself to save thousands of others. Also there is a big deal made about the council using old technology, but its a bit unrealistic to expect any technology to survive the elements after 400 years, and very unrealistic that people of that era would be able to figure out anything about how to use said technology. I will also say the novel went on one chapter too long...it just have ended at the end of the previous chapter and would have had a perfect ending.
So in the end, I found the plot interesting but the characters annoying and not ones I would care about. This book ended up being middle of the road: not horrible, but not good either.
NOTE: I got this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
