About this listen

Return to the City of Sin, where the final game is about to begin...and winning will demand the ultimate sacrifice.

Only days after a corrupt election and brutal street war, one last bloodthirsty game has begun. The players? The 22 most powerful, notorious people in New Reynes.

After realizing they have no choice but to play, Enne Scordata and Levi Glaisyer are desperate to forge new alliances and bargain for their safety. But while Levi offers false smiles and an even falser peace to the city’s politicians, Enne must face a world where her true Mizer identity has been revealed...and any misstep could turn deadly.

Meanwhile, a far more dangerous opponent has appeared on the board, one plucked right from the most gruesome legends of New Reynes. As the game takes its final, vicious turn, Levi and Enne must decide once and for all whether to be partners or enemies.

Because in a game for survival, there are only losers....

And monsters.

a conclusion.

a brilliant conclusion to the trilogy.
The book was gripping, I listened to it in 2 days.
The narrator was excellent and the story had so many twists and turns that it kept you on the edge of your seat.
I also love the fact different sexual orientations and gender identitys fit so easily into the world that the author has created. It's great to read a series of books that has a character that uses they/them pronouns or a character who's typically more "masculine" portraying have relationships with men and women without it being the main focus of the book!
I will definitely see if the author has written any more books.



**SPOILERS AHEAD**


When Roy died it actually made me gasp, it was just heartbreaking.

New narrator

Enjoyed the first 2 books but this took me ages to ‘get into’ as there is a new narrator- it’s like getting a fully new cast for the hunger games mockingjay

Good end to the trilogy

Shame about the change in narrator but it didn't take long to get used to her.
I found this book much more interesting than the second one, not sure why, although I did leave a big gap between listening to the first (which I thought was excellent) and the second.

nicely wrapped up

I enjoyed the story from start to finish. And although I enjoyed this narrator less than the previous one, it's well told and a good finaly to a long journey.

Change of narrator

I struggled initially identifying some of the characters as the change in narrator obviously meant they sounded different to the first two books but overall it was still performed well and a solid conclusion to the series.

Narrator change questionable

I didn't mind the narrator, but I didn't like that they changed it on the final book. I much preferred the previous narrator, as she did the accents better. However, the story was amazing as always.

Amazing discovery

I am truly happy I found this writer’s books. This collection in particular was amazing to me. Very different way of writing fantasy. I also loved how diverse the characters are!

Lovely Ending!

I really enjoyed this book! The plot was well thought out and kept me listening until the very end. I also lived the ending as well. It was nice to have multiple chapters to conclude the story - It just felt right. I definitely plan to reread this entire series as I already miss the characters.

The performance by the narrator took some getting used to as the characters had a much softer feel to them. I thought it was fine but I would have prefer there to be no change to the narrator.

Overall, this book was enjoyable and a lovely conclusion to a wonderful series!

Great Trilogy

Obviously if you enjoyed the other two, you'll definitely want to read this book.

Just a quick heads up, there is a different narrator, which at first was a bit jarring but you do get used it and eventually forget.

I think Amanda Foody does a great job at creating deeply flawed characters, and out of the series, this os my favourite as it is equally plot and character driven.
Usually I'm not such a big fan of so many perspectives but it was built up and felt very series-esque

It wasn't flawless, at times repetitive but the story was so good, with characters who I'll be thinking about long after I read more books, it deserves a 5 star from me.
