The third book in the thrilling and epic Book of the Ancestor trilogy from international best-selling author Mark Lawrence.

Powerful novice Nona Grey must fight to survive in "a fantastic world in which religion and politics are dark and sharp as swords, with magic and might held in the hands of wonderful and dangerous women."

Holy Sister ties off all the loose ends on this great trilogy. I thought that Red Sister was the best of the three, and Holy Sister the weakest, but it's a must-read if you made it this far. I wasn't crazy about the back-and-forth between events that occurred immediately after Grey Sister and the present, and some of it, especially in the present, seemed to drag on. One part that kind of bugged me was that the Emperor was noticeably absent. He's mentioned, but never appears in person. Overall, I like the world. It has a lot of possibilities for good storytelling, and Heather O'Neill does a great job in all three books.

Satisfying end to a great series

Battle witch nuns. An almost exclusively female cast of various relationships and characters. Classic orphanish child sold/goes to school, becomes an almost chosen one, definitely hero, friendship is the answer.

The final instalment of the trilogy did not disappoint, with hardly a pause in the action. I enjoyed how the story unfolded on two timelines, so that information could be revealed to hold the reader in suspense for longer. I will be checking out the author’s other series, and I can’t say enough about the narrator - Heather O’Neill. She really brought the characters to life.

Excellent wrap up!
