In the ice, east of the Black Rock, there is a hole into which broken children are thrown. Yaz's people call it the Pit of the Missing, and now it is drawing her in as she has always known it would. To resist the cold, to endure the months of night when even the air itself begins to freeze, requires a special breed. Variation is dangerous, difference is fatal. And Yaz is not the same.

The boy has lived his whole life trapped within a book-choked chamber older than empires and larger than cities.

Story
Cal Sounder is a detective working for the police on certain very sensitive cases. So when he’s called in to investigate a homicide at a local apartment, he’s surprised by the routineness of it all. But when he arrives on scene, Cal soon learns that the victim—Roddy Tebbit, an otherwise milquetoast techie—is well over seven feet tall. And although he doesn’t look a day over thirty, he is ninety-one years old. Tebbit is a Titan—one of this dystopian, near-future society’s genetically altered elites. And this case is definitely Cal’s thing.

Satisfying end to a great series
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.

Battle nuns
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.

An Excellent Conclusion to the Series
The story is split between 2 different periods of time: 3 Years Ago and Present Day. When the perspective would switch, I was on the edge of my seating eager for when the perspective would switch back. Obviously, the pacing of the story was great. You also learn a lot more about the world of Abeth. Enough that most of my questions about it were answered. The ending was very satisfying.
Once again, Heather O'Neill was fantastic as the narrator.

Fantastic series
Loved the pace. Excellent character development. The narrator was perfect for the story. I could, and have, listen/listened to her all day. All three were superbly done.

I loved this series so much!
I am sad to leave the world of Abeth and I will miss the characters. I'll have to restart the series again in a couple years. I can be picky with fantasy books, especially ones you find on audible since the quality of self published books is so variable. But this one does not disappoint.
