In the highly anticipated finale to the New York Times best-selling trilogy, dictators, prophets, and tensions rise. In a world that’s conquered death, will humanity finally be torn asunder by the immortal beings it created? Citra and Rowan have disappeared. Endura is gone. It seems like nothing stands between Scythe Goddard and absolute dominion over the world scythedom. With the silence of the Thunderhead and the reverberations of the Great Resonance still shaking the earth to its core, the question remains: Is there anyone left who can stop him?

Story4 out of 5 stars 411
As a human vessel for an ancient spirit, Sandis lives no ordinary life. At the command of her master, she can be transformed against her will into his weapon - a raging monster summoned to do his bidding. Unlike other vessels, Sandis can host extremely powerful spirits, but hosting such creatures can be fatal. To stay alive, she must run. And in a city fueled by smoke and corruption, she finds a surprising ally. A cunning thief for hire, Rone owns a rare device that grants him immortality for one minute every day - an advantage that will come in handy in Sandis’s fight for freedom.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
Everyone dreams of marrying a prince - except for me. I am nothing more than a pawn in my adoptive mother's diabolical plot against the seven kingdoms. I was the chosen tool, her sharpened blade that would cut the deepest into the heart of the kingdom of Baist. But like all deadly weapons, my wedding is two-edged sword that could cost me my soul. For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist.

To save the Hatter, Alice must work with the one man she despises so much that she might still love him. Alice thought she'd turned over a new leaf. No more working for Jabberwocky. No more making deals with the ruthless Queen of Hearts. No more hanging around The Mushroom with tinkers, tarts, scoundrels, and thieves in London's criminal underbelly. But she'd been bonkers to dream.

Strong start
The writing was great and I loved the characters, I just feel like it changed too drastically in the second half and broke a lot of the promises it had set up in the beginning.

A wonderful, beautiful, heartbreaking book
Wow. This book was such a roller coaster ride. when I first got the book, I imagined that it would be more of a fantasy mystery/crime/thriller. While there are many murder mystery aspects, that's not the main focus. In fact, I was surprised to find out that most of the book feels more like a slice-of-life fantasy. Though there is always danger and mystery lurking in the background, much of the book focuses on Hester's everyday life in Stonehenge, Colorado. Even though this wasn't what I'd expected, I found I didn't mind it. The world that Hester inhabits was so full, realistic, and enjoyable. Terrifying too, but also wonderful. The characters and setting really came to life for me.
The book was a little slow in places. Much of the first half of the book is setup, while the second half is payoff. I'm glad I stuck around. But, really, how could I have put it down when Hester was such a delight? I adore her as a character.
This book was a very emotional ride. Hester endured so much pain and heartache, so much so that I had to take breaks from the book at places. I would not recommend it too especially sensitive readers.
My only disappointment is that, although there is a delightful love triangle, the romance ended up being very bitter sweet. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the romantic elements in the next book, but I hope it has a happier ending then in this book.

Wonderful Read
Beautifully written and narrated, this captivating story drew me in from the beginning. While the story’s core mystery is both intriguing and original, it was the main protagonist, blind and mute demigoddess Hester Grayson, who kept me reading. Her strength, intelligence, and mettle are irresistible.
