About this listen

The New York Times bestselling series!

Magical forces clash and Erthia hovers on the brink of ruin in the can't-miss finale of Laurie Forest’s epic fantasy series, The Black Witch Chronicles!

Who can survive the Shadow storm?

Black Witch of prophecy Elloren Gardner Grey has unleashed her powers and embraced her legacy as a Dryad and guardian of the Forest. But the losses—of life, of love—have been almost too great to withstand as the Shadow continues to devour the world. With only a tattered shred of hope remaining, the Bearers of the Wand of Myth must battle their way back to each other to mount a final stand.

But Elloren and her allies are not only facing Mage Vogel's advancing forces—the armies of the Eastern Realm will stop at nothing to see the Black Witch struck down.

With Elloren's bonded mate prophesied to kill her, Shadow demons rising, and the ties between allies unraveling, can this fracturing world unite to face down the coming storm?

the start of this series really drew me in but I was so disappointed with the end. It was drawn out with repetitive circulation of the same plot over and over with obvious twists.

disappointed

I liked the character development and general story. Sometimes too many stories and characters and I had to keep referencing wiki fandom to remember who was who.
Final battle was a bit underwhelming and the repetition of some words very distracting. By the end my favourite story was Tierney & Ori' mir. Elloren & Yvan got a bit diluted by the last book with the former still often helpless. the baddie reveal was a bit obvious by the end and RIP Lucas who was one of the best characters.

I re read all the books again and then the final. The first two are most definitely the best. It was overall a fun series to read.

Pretty ok finale

This book did not need to be so drawn out. I was looking for a big ending and it turned into a conservation book about saving the Forrest and people needing to work together. I didn’t need a fantasy book to tell me this, there’s enough of it on the daily news. Boring, didn’t like it and very disappointing.

I was so thrilled as I been anxiously waiting to see how this story ended. I was so disappointed that at times I wondered if someone else had written it, (I truly loved the other books).
Hours and hours of " their lines/their fire bonds reaching for each other " over and over- with EVERY character.
I can't believe I kept listening in hope it would get better. What can I say , I have a long car drive to work.
Don't bother, save your money.

Loved the climax ending to this story. Posts of twists and turns that keep you enthralled in the story.

My only criticism would be at the start of the book a huge chunk of it, introduces 2 new characters, their background origins very similar to the main character Ellorian. So it felt like you knew exactly how the characters would go. By the end of the book you never hear of them again, so the huge chunk at the beginning of the story seems pointless.
I truly wish that Diana’s character was in the finale more as she’s a great character. The ending is nicely wrapped up, with a hint of the possibility of a sequel with the new generation. All the characters that have their own chapters I’d love to know how their story ends. Ariel and Winter for example, Tiernee and the death fae.

Apart from that it’s a great final book.

Great ending to the series

If you are just starting out on this series. Give up after Book 3, as nothing much happens in the last two books.

From the best to the worst series I’ve read to date.

THANK YOU Laurie for making this the most amazing conclusion & whilst in part in was a horror story, I am so happy at the outcome. If only our own Earthea could come together in the same accepting way.

Amazing conclusion

It was the culmination of many stories and each one was tied up nicely with a bow though not without loss and with a clear message about acceptance and love.
What a fantastic series it’s been.

Great Finale
