About this listen

 THE TIME HAS COME.
SEKINOWARI - THE LAST WAR - HAS ARRIVED.

The breakneck conclusion to the trilogy that started with We Are the Dead. To beat the ultimate evil, sometimes the price is more than you can pay . . .

The war with the Egril has changed Tinnstra forever. A coward no more, she'll go to any length to defeat every last one of her enemies.

Zorique has grown into her powers. It's time for her to lead her army into Jia and spearhead the fight for her homeland.

But at what cost? The Egril emperor Raaku - the Son of Kage himself - is waiting for them. And he intends to destroy Zorique, Tinnstra and all their allies.

They will need to put everything on the line if Jia hopes to see the dawn.

This final novel in the ‘Last War’ trilogy grabs you from the outset and builds on the pace and excellent characters established in the first two books.

There are enough twists and turns to keep you reading ‘just one more chapter’ instead of actually getting some sleep as you have work in a couple of hours. It’s quite a feat of skill that Mike Shackle manages to keep track of and fully flesh out a plethora of believable characters. Some of them you’ll root for and others you’ll love to hate.

This epic fantasy series will appeal to anyone that has a heart but also who isn’t afraid to revel in epic battles and the more-than-occasional slice (bad pun intended) of gory action.

Props also need to go out to Nicola Bryant for breathing life into so many different individuals. An excellent job indeed!

Thanks for an exhilarating ride Mike.

Looking forward to whatever comes next.

Really enjoyed this trilogy! Great characters, relationships, battles and evil bastards. The narration just sung the story perfectly. 👑

Couldn’t stop listening!

Characters were interesting but that’s the only reason I finished it. It just seemed like misery for the sake of misery by the end. Why kill the baby in the closing scenes? Just stupid suffering for its own sake and now I’m annoyed I even finished the book.

Read on if you want to be constantly stressed
