Summary
The highly anticipated third book in Sabaa Tahir's New York Times best-selling Ember Quartet.
Beyond the Empire and within it, the threat of war looms ever larger.
The Blood Shrike, Helene Aquilla, is assailed on all sides. Emperor Marcus, haunted by his past, grows increasingly unstable while the Commandant capitalizes on his madness to bolster her own power. As Helene searches for a way to hold back the approaching darkness, her sister's life and the lives of all those in the Empire hang in the balance.
Far to the east, Laia of Serra knows the fate of the world lies not in the machinations of the Martial court but in stopping the Nightbringer. But while hunting for a way to bring him down, Laia faces unexpected threats from those she hoped would aid her and is drawn into a battle she never thought she'd have to fight.
And in the land between the living and the dead, Elias Veturius has given up his freedom to serve as Soul Catcher. But in doing so, he has vowed himself to an ancient power that will stop at nothing to ensure Elias' devotion - even at the cost of his humanity.

A must read series
I stumbled on the first book fo the series by accident and haven’t been able to stop myself reading/listening since. I have taken a lot longer to read the 3rd instalment due to my current circumstances but I have been reading every chance I can. The imagination used to create this world, characters and storyline is brilliant. A must read series so far. Now on to book 4...

Rich performances of a deeply emotional story
All four narrators wonderfully express the pain and joy of the entwining characters as they continue to develop because of, and in spite of, the world around them.
This section of the story contains some of the most significant pay offs for story threads I had barely noticed being set up in the preceding books and I eagerly anticipate getting to experience the fourth volume.

Heading straight into book 4
I have been enjoying this series since book 1. Seeing the development of the characters across 3 books has made me eager to read/listening to the 4th and final instalments. I particularly enjoyed seeing the same sections of story from different points of. This can contextualise something that previously was unclear. On the other hand, it can also change how we as the listener interpret certain scenes.
I would like to finish by congratulating an excellent team of narrators on a job well done. In my opinion they embody each characters individual spirit and motivations perfectly.

Favourite one in the series so far!
This is my favourite in the entire series so far! So gut wrenching and keeps me on the edge of my seat. Again, narrations were fantastic!
I loved when Laia and Strike looks at each other and understood each other without having to speak a single word. FANTASTIC!
