About this listen

Twelve years ago, our fates were sealed with a kiss.

We are all, for better or worse, doomed to love each other until death do us part. My heart belongs to Proserpina and St. Sebastian - even if he no longer wants it. Even if she has left it behind to follow him.

Delphine's fled back home, and Becket's holy calling is in peril.

And now only Rebecca and I remain at Thornchapel to face the unknown.

The door is open. The door that shouldn't exist; the door that people have died to close. I don't feel like the lord of the manor. I don't feel like a king or a wild god. I am a friend and a boyfriend and a brother - and a failure at being all of these things. But the door doesn't care about my guilt. It only cares about the sacrifice I'll make to close it.

As the bruising dark of Samhain approaches, so does the fate of our circle, of Thornchapel and the village and the valley beyond it. And I must don the crown, because one thing is still true, even if I must face it alone.

Here at Thornchapel, all kings must walk to the door.

Here at Thornchapel, all kings must die.

Door of Bruises is the fourth and final book in the Thornchapel Quartet.

Incredible to the very end

I absolutely adore books, the rare ones like these Thornchappel series, that keep you gripped in their pages until the very last page. I don’t know what it is but Sierra does this every time.

If you have stuck around this far, you must be as in love with these books as those of us who finished them. All I’ll say - it’s more than worth it. A magical story until the very end.

Amazing story let down by the narration

I listened to the first book in the series on audiobook and loved it, then proceeded to read books 2 and 3 on kindle before listening to book 4 on audiobook and I wish I had read the last book rather than listened to it.

The story itself is wonderful, filled with the complex layers that Sierra Simone is an absolute master in building, the characters felt like they stayed true to themselves and all had their part to play, even if some of them were to a greater extent than others. Truly, a wonderful wrap up of the series and I am sad to see the end of it but also deeply satisfied.

The problem with the audiobook is the narrators with some of them being particularly challenging to listen to with many mispronounced words that took me completely out of the story as I tried to figure out what the word was meant to be based off of the rest of the line and inconsistent accents throughout. Additionally, many of the narrators tonality just felt deeply off for the characters and their personalities. It is such a shame that the narrator who voiced Poe in book one didn't continue throughout the series as she was much better. The male voice actors were the best of the read with the narrator for Auden being the best and actually very good but he was the high point performance wise. I would recommend that you listen to a sample (hopefully you get to hear other characters than Auden, as I said he was good) before buying the audio book and/or have listened to the cast in book 3.
