About this listen

The capital has fallen. The Darkling rules Ravka from his shadow throne.

Now the nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.

Deep in an ancient network of tunnels and caverns, a weakened Alina must submit to the dubious protection of the Apparat and the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives.

Alina will have to forge new alliances and put aside old rivalries as she and Mal race to find the last of Morozova's amplifiers. But as she begins to unravel the Darkling's secrets, she reveals a past that will forever alter her understanding of the bond they share and the power she wields. The firebird is the one thing that stands between Ravka and destruction - and claiming it could cost Alina the very future she’s fighting for. Ruin and Rising is the thrilling final installment in Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy.

Daughter thought narrator too annoying to finish listening. She prefers it when I read to her.

Irritating voice

The book was pretty good. The secondary characters and world building are definitely the best part of this series. As a finale it was pretty entertaining. Lauren Fortgang does an amazing job! Loved her narration!

Interesting End

Loved the first book. Tolerated the second. Found the third a good way to end. Probably wouldn’t read the series again but overall I enjoyed it

A good way to end the series

I thought that the performance was outstanding in this book, I really loved the way she used her voice to change into different characters. However the overall story was ok, it felt rushed in the end. The overall concepts were good, but I don't think they were executed particularly well. For example when the author introduced the fact that Mall was the third amplifier, I thought that that has massive potential to be properly implemented but there was no build up it just instantly happened which was a bit annoying. Overall it is a good ending to this series but it could have been done better!!! My favourite book is still the second, then the first, then this one!!!

I loved the whole series of books the characters are fantastic and the story is Brilliant. If you like his dark material's it's easily on a par with those books.
it's a shame I've finished them. I look forward to reading (listening) some of Leigh's other books.
the Narrator of this series was also very good really engaging and does justice to the characters and the story.

thanks, it was my pleasure 😊👍

Fantastic
