A performance worthy of applause

I was very curious to see how the narrator was going to handle the tonal shift between the second book and this one (for obvious non-spoiler reasons). Any fan of the series knows that this would be a difficult transition to pull off and I am please to say that Eric Burgher did a fantastic job. His mastery of the saga up to this point has been a treat to experience, so hearing his full embodiment of a battered protagonist was very rewarding. (I think I actually applauded at the very end.) The Mortal Vestige is a heavy coda to a harrowing series and I thoroughly enjoyed the listen.

The End Of The World

This third book in the "Immortal Wake" series was entertaining, but also emotionally difficult as I kept aligning myself with the protagonist. After seeing the results of annihilation, Jonas faced his new reality. The story was thought-provoking. The character of Jonas was both strong and flawed. He exhibited a humanity that was very realistic. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Eric Burgher's narration was superb. His performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
