About this listen
""No series since George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire has quite captured both palace intrigue and the way that tribal infighting and war hurt the vulnerable the most."" —Paste Magazine
The final chapter in the bestselling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con-woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war.
Daevabad has fallen.
After a brutal conquest stripped the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and stabilize a fractious, warring people.
But the bloodletting and loss of his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst demons of Dara's dark past. To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once considered enemies.
Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad's deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. While Nahri finds peace in the old rhythms and familiar comforts of her human home, she is haunted by the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who considered her a savior are at the mercy of a new tyrant. Ali, too, cannot help but look back, and is determined to return to rescue his city and the family that remains. Seeking support in his mother’s homeland, he discovers that his connection to the marid goes far deeper than expected and threatens not only his relationship with Nahri, but his very faith.
As peace grows more elusive and old players return, Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to understand that in order to remake the world, they may need to fight those they once loved . . . and take a stand for those they once hurt.

Featured Article: The Best Fantasy Audiobook Series
From grim worlds of gritty war and betrayal to light-hearted stories of romance, adventure, and magic, fantasy has it all. It’s the genre to listen to for a little escapism and a lot of enjoyment. And it’s one that is constantly updated with new names, new voices, and new stories to explore.
One of my favorites

I love how Chakraborty is able to make you relate, hate, love and just feel a lot for her characters and their unravelings. Not often you can feel sympathy for war criminals.
***Spoilers below****
My only thought is that I wished there was more info on the Pyris. They felt a bit thrown in at the end there. Wish there was more ties to them and their part in the first book. Just felt a bit hollow.
Also to all the Dara shippers- what?! Like no!!! Haha I am sooooo thrilled that Nahri and Ali begin a romance. I love Dara’s intense character but as a romantic partner- he’s awful c‘mon! Possessive, racist, violent, and blindly loyal even at signs of pure wickedness. Was so happy when Nahri fell out of love with him. He was a great addition to the story but Ali at his core is kind, thoughtful, and good man since his first scene. Also wish there was a bit more on their story at the end but looks like it’s left to make us all happy!
Amazing final instalment to a great trilogy
