About this listen

Prepare for the jaw-dropping finale of Sabaa Tahir's beloved New York Times bestselling An Ember in the Ashes fantasy series, and discover: Who will survive the storm?

Picking up just a few months after A Reaper at the Gates left off…

The long-imprisoned jinn are on the attack, wreaking bloody havoc in villages and cities alike. But for the Nightbringer, vengeance on his human foes is just the beginning.

At his side, Commandant Keris Veturia declares herself Empress, and calls for the heads of any and all who defy her rule. At the top of the list? The Blood Shrike and her remaining family.

Laia of Serra, now allied with the Blood Shrike, struggles to recover from the loss of the two people most important to her. Determined to stop the approaching apocalypse, she throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory – or to an unimaginable doom.

And deep in the Waiting Place, the Soul Catcher seeks only to forget the life – and love – he left behind. Yet doing so means ignoring the trail of murder left by the Nightbringer and his jinn. To uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. He must take on a mission that could save – or destroy – all that he knows.

variety of voices

I really love how each character's point of view is read by a different person. the story itself is also brilliant and enthralling.

Inconsistent pronunciation

What a fantastic way to end this series! Sabaa Tahir is a great storyteller and I can’t wait for what she does next. She has such a way of writing unforgettable characters and intricate worlds.

In saying this, I recommend reading the book as opposed to the audio as their were quite a lot of mispronunciations of characters names and words, which were extremely off-putting.

WHERE IS JACK FARRAR?!

I was really disappointed when I picked up the final book in this series and found out that Elias’s voice has changed. I was a huge fan of and obsessed with Jack Farrar’s narration of Elias and I just could not get used to Jo Gaminara’s voice as Elias where the voices he would do for certain characters were just completely different than what I had grown used to from the previous books. I think the voice change really impacted my overall experience of the final book.

In terms of the story, I thought this book was a good ending to a beloved series. Throughout the entire series Saba has always been able to surprise me with the story. While the final book is probably not my favourite in the series, I did have a good time reading it.

Good story.

Really enjoyed listening to this story. Sad to let the characters go. I liked Laya, turned into a good, solid female character. Thank you for a great read.

It lost me

I don’t know if it was the fact that I listened only to the last book but it was confusing, very long winded and dragged on to the point where I was begging for it to finish.the epilogue alone took forever. Emotionless reading as well.
