Publisher's Summary
An evil new magic threatens to undo all the progress women have made in the third and final book in Jenna Glass' riveting feminist fantasy series, following The Women's War and Queen of the Unwanted.
In the once male-dominated world of Seven Wells, women now control their own reproduction, but the battle for equality is far from over. Even with two thrones held by women, there are still those who cling to the old ways and are determined to bring them back.
Now into this struggle comes a darker power. Delnamal, the former king of Aalwell, may have lost his battle to undo the spell that gave women reproductive control, but he has gained a terrible and deadly magic - and he uses these new abilities to raise an army the likes of which the world has never seen. Delnamal and his allies seem like an unstoppable force, destined to crush the fragile new balance between men and women.
Yet sometimes it is possible for determined individuals to stem the tide, and it falls to a unique triad of women - maiden, mother, and crone - to risk everything...not only to preserve the advances they have won, but to change the world one final time.
A portion of the author’s proceeds from this book is being donated to Planned Parenthood, in support of women’s reproductive freedom.

Satisfying conclusion
This narrator is great! She always has good inflections and I don’t struggle to determine who is speaking. Also her Rhozinolm accent reminds me of my Dutch grandmother’s accent, she passed away ten years ago but listening to this book gave me a bit of her comforting presence.
Story wise I felt a little disjointed compared to the previous two in the series. The author struggled to handle the different narrators while keeping continuity and it made me feel like I was continually missing out on additional story and character development. I didn’t feel like I got enough time with certain narrators to the point where we would only find out about certain events happening when another narrator filled in other characters on something that had happened. For example something would happen in Rhozinolm with Ellin, but we wouldn’t get to experience it with those characters, instead we would head about it in Women’s Well when Allis was talking to someone else. I also would have loved to hear more from Shelvon, I think there was only one section from her perspective.
Ultimately I thought it was a good conclusion to the series and despite my critiques I did still quite enjoy it. I think it resolved everything that needed resolving and provided a good picture of what was to come for Seven Wells.
