About this listen

Alydian has shattered her prison and returned to the rebellion, arriving in time to ensure victory at Skykeep. The people now look to her as high oracle, but she is haunted by her escape … and the power she has unlocked. She is not alone in hiding the truth. Her enemies have their secrets, but it’s those of her allies that she should fear.

With the Empire’s might at her command, Teriah gathers her forces for a final battle, but her plan is more sinister. With the aid of a hidden master, she has prepared a devastating plague, one that will bring the rebellion to its knees. Facing her greatest foe, Alydian must discover what she was born to become.

A battle mage.

Mediocre ending to a gripping story

Fantastic narrator and love most of the story. only towards the end there was a lot of cliche and the easy way out, making it feel both rushed and drawn out at the same time.

Another Awesome Series

This is the last in the series and as always Ben Hale is fantastic to read. This is the only series I have done so far that is narrated by this lady (the others were a man) and I find her a bit whiney and shouty, the other narrator is much better and I would prefer if they had stuck with him but the truth is I love Ben Hale books and the world of luminea so much I doubt anything could put me off them :)

Great story, bad narrator

Again, a good story spoiled by weird affectations of pronunciation by the narrator which were extremely offputting and annoying. The story albeit not overly complex (not required) has good servings of humour and emotion.

Poor ending to the series

What happened in the book? Not a lot. The characters didn't progress. The story didn't go anywhere. We didn't delve into the magical system deeper. I forget what really happened. Very disappointing.

Tedius

I wish I had never started reading this trilogy as I couldn't help but buy the other two books to see how it ended. His characters and plot are so one dimensional and nothing much ever happens. I think I wasted my time staying awake for these books. The narration is grating too.
