About this listen

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler’s epic Harbinger series comes to a breathtaking conclusion as two women are swept into a battle that could destroy two worlds.

Rescued from a world of poverty, Cettie Pratt has avoided a bleak destiny—until now. Deceived and manipulated, she has been groomed for the ultimate betrayal: to destroy her best friend and stop peace from uniting two war-torn worlds. Her path leads her to a mysterious underworld where appearances can be deceiving.

Sera Fitzempress knows the value she has to her enemies. As heir to the empire, she must keep her foes at bay and prevent them from unleashing a being of unspeakable evil upon the world while fighting a brutal war. But her enemies are more cunning than Sera expects, and the key to their plans is none other than her best friend.

Neither woman knows what to believe. Neither one knows if she can trust the other. Both Cettie and Sera have made decisions that have irrevocably changed them. But the decisions they have yet to make will determine the fate of their world…

I loved the whole series. First time reading this authors books and it was good. I'm sure I'll listen to his other books. Narration was pretty good in my opinion.

Excellent

You know when you love a book at the start and by the time you get to book five, you're like over it. This book did not suffer from that - a really well written and read conclusion to what was a un-put-down-able series for me. Thanks Jeff and Kate.

This entire series is a hit - thrilling

The story does get a lot better compared to the first book but still a lot of issues.

Male authours often make things needlessly uncomfortable when writing about female characters and this series was no exception. e.g. "she crossed her arms over her breasts" - totally unnecessary detail...

Relationships between characters are barely given any time "on screen" for the reader/listener to get invested in them which makes the motivations for characters behaviours feel a bit forced. Similarly we are often given context for a behaviour after the fact which again leaves the action/motivation feeling pretty artificial.

Lots of big gaps in the timeline make it hart to empathise with characters as they develop, especially when they undergo hardship.

It got better I guess

A nice ending to the series which almost seemed like it was gonna rip my heart out at the end. This series really shows the deep lows of people in power and those who are pure of heart to stop it. Gonna miss the characters. Beautiful book/series with loads of twists and turns. Would recommend to anyone.

I’m gonna miss the characters

I've enjoyed all the harbinger series so far, but this is the best yet. It was gripping right from the very beginning and more so as it went on! No words were wasted on long drawn out, irrelevant conversations etc. It was all go. Jeff Wheeler is a magical wordsmith, dragging you into the action, making you share Sera's and Ceti's emotions as they face challenge after challenge. The only downside was that, due to some technical hitch, I was unable to download the audible narration to any of my devices and had to listen on Audible. It was an excellent read/listen, and full marks to the narrator, who left you in no doubt as to who was speaking and drew you into the emotions. At the end, there was a hint that the series might continue. I do hope so

best in the series!

A good series but I was disturbed that there was no warning about the premise of the books, the helpless unmarried women, the shame of pregnancy, the subjudication of womentheir laxk.of rignts. The entire book series is entirely about the halpless woman who can only be 'saved' or rescuedby a man. deeply disturbing to have had this foisted on readers without a warning.
the narration is excellent.

Religious Fundamentalism

Deus Ex Machina is present and corporeal in the last of the series, enjoys suffering unnecessarily.

Insonsistent and thinly veiled religious twaddle

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

But feel the story lacked depth behind the villains, felt pretty predictable and things just didn’t seem to link so well together, How a evil mother could suddenly feel guilt despite an entire life time of evil manipulation is pretty I unbelievable same as the other one who suddenly decided to go againt a life time of training and ended up dead soon after it’s just frustraiting and disappointing

Enjoyable
