Publisher's summary

From two time British Fantasy Award-winning author, Jen Williams, comes the epic conclusion to the Winnowing Flame trilogy. Exhilarating fantasy for fans of Robin Hobb.

All is chaos. All is confusion. The Jure'lia are weak, but the war is far from over.

Ebora was once a glorious city, defended by legendary warriors and celebrated in song. Now refugees from every corner of Sarn seek shelter within its crumbling walls, and the enemy that has poisoned their land won't lie dormant for long.

The deep-rooted connection that Tormalin, Noon and the scholar Vintage share with their Eboran war-beasts has kept them alive so far. But with Tor distracted, and his sister Hestillion hell-bent on bringing ruthless order to the next Jure'lia attack, the people of Sarn need all the help they can get.

Noon is no stranger to playing with fire and knows just where to recruit a new - and powerful - army. But even she underestimates the epic quest that is to come. It is a journey wrought with pain and sacrifice - a reckoning that will change the face of Sarn forever.

Join forces with the heroes of the Winnowing Flame Trilogy as they strive to silence the Jure'lia's poison song once and for all.

Satisfactory ending to a good book series

The book ends the story and thats nice. All the lose ends tied up well. Not a complex or deep story, but entertaining well enough. I do recommend to those who want to hear a straight forward fantasy book with good vs evil.

Given 90% of the characters are female, there should probably have been a female narrator in my opinion.

Enjoyed the full trilogy

Enjoyed the story and character development.
Narrator I liked overall, except when he voiced some of the war-beasts his volume increased which was uncomfortable

It hurts so good

“You can let go now, little frog.”
Oh, my aching heart. This whole book puts you through the wringer.
The odds grow more and more bleak, until the final heroic push.

“There are roses growing in the most wild-touched places.”
It’s the losses that make the victories most sweet.
Family. Sacrifice. Hope. This ending brought it all.

Absolutely fabulous darlings

I laughed, cried and enjoyed this trilogy so much. Each book just got better and better! Going to miss the characters so I hope the author continues to include some in her future novels especially Vintage.

One bad aspect

Great story. Inconsistent volume was problematic throughout the series, making listening at work a bit tricky.

narrator pretty good but

The narrator had lots of voices but the voices of the War beasts and the queen were quite jarring - louder than other voices and quite gravely. It was irritating to be listening at normal volume and suddenly have the volume increase and this horrible voice come out of the speakers. It was not pleasant and an assualt on my eardrums, especially if I was listening to it at night or on earbuds .

after listening to the three long books on a row I am glad to have finished. good story but towards the end there's so much fighting it just was boring
