Summary
A sweeping epic fantasy weaves together destiny and ancient magic in this masterful final novel in the beloved Five Warrior Angels trilogy by Brian Lee Durfee
In the age of belief, magic is a myth. But when an apocalyptic crusade comes to the remote border of Gul Kana, that belief is shattered, as is the tenuous peace that held the Five Isles together. Now the prophecies that were used to justify this war are unraveling, revealing a hidden agenda while the world lies in the wake of the degradations of this war.
But a slim skein of hope resides within the hidden truths, long kept secret and scattered throughout the isles—truths less reliant upon prophecy than heroism and great sacrifice.
Not everything is as it seems in this epic, long-awaited conclusion to a trilogy that Booklist raved about as “high fantasy in the vein of Stephen R. Donaldson or David Eddings, with generous helpings from George R. R. Martin.”

a hidden gem
I initially started listening to this thinking it was a lighthearted ya story because I needed something calm. This is not that but it is a great series and even had some battle details that made me gasp with how horrendous it was, which is not a common occurrence for me.
The characters are interesting, the plot slams you with deaths and details that are unexpected and people who you initially cheered for are suddenly not the good guys.loved it. really great

Epic Absolution.
Saint Laijon, as my witness that was absolutely insanely bloody epic, what a fantastic conclusion to what has now become one of my top ten reads of all time. Durfee writes with genuine passion, bringing his world fully to life with astounding detail and vivacious, gutsy action that's just blows your mind.
The Lonesome Crown is the third and final book in this amazing The Five Warrior Angels series, and it's just so so frigging good. My head is so melted that it has come to an end. I will definitely miss these characters so much, especially my newest heroes in fantasy, Liz Hen, Dokie, and their infamous dog Beermug.
If you love a violent war-torn tale of struggle and toil in a fantasy land rife with deeply religious, dogmatic beliefs clashing for dominance amongst the warring factions. The battle scenes were so bloody, to say the least, epic and so immersive that you are left clinging to your seat with palpitations and in fear of which one of your favourite characters are up for the chopping block, and let me bloody tell you, no body is safe. As Durfee scythes and slashes like the grim reaper.
The levels of cruelty and violence are pretty high, perhaps too high for some readers, but that's your decision to make. It didn't bother me in the slightest. For some of the most despicable characters in this series, and I was hoping Durfee would would bring down wrath and vengeance upon their heads, and boy, does he bloody deliver epically.
This series has it all, amazing worldbuilding, fantastic plot twists and turns, nonstop action, and a wonderful diverse set of characters, from Merfolk, dwarves, blood thirsty ogels, bloodwood assassins and big ass drug fueled dragons. It's a story so compelling that you will not be able to put down and will leave you in awe of Durfee's incredible dark world.
Firey absolution is about to break loose on the Isle of Gul Kana. A thousand years prophecy, of lies, and deceit is about to unravel. In the age of belief, magic is a myth. But when an apocalyptic crusade comes to the remote border of Gul Kana, that belief is shattered, as is the tenuous peace that held the Five Isles together. As an ancient old enemy rises from the underworld bringing fire, death, and destruction. All humans must die.
A truly epic series that I would recommend to any fantasy reader. Absolutely amazing storytelling at finest. Check it out. You won't regret it...👑🪓🏹🗡🛡

Epic saga
If you liked Game of Thrones then this is a must read. Great characters built without rush. Time spent building the story. Enough twists and turns to test even the best rally cross driver.
Yes it is a lot of hours, but the story demands it.

A most painful read
It was too long for no reason and really hard to finish. It just wasn't for me.

Excellent Voice acting
The ending gets a bit crazy, which is supposedly an important part of a book.

Bait and switch
Most common trope in modern day writing. Atleast not the worst i have encountered but the switch makes a joke out of the events in the previous books and even some in this book. worst part is how lazy its done, spoiler with 5 hours left the 3 marks are redefined and the reveal is from a passage in the "way and truth...". strange none of the scripture fanatics noticed this.
Most of the book is well written but end becomes a mess, and really ruins the enjoyment. Characters forgetting they have met, others leaving a group and one chapter later they are just back again, injuries healing just by switching narrative, and plot armor becomming thicker and thicker.

A frustrating mess
The characters in the story behave and react in ways that are not natural. I understand that the author is trying to build up to some kind of climax, but the way he wrote the characters leaves a lot to be desired. I listened to the first part, but i couldn't finish the second one. A complete mess.
