Summary

Looming war threatens all Feyre holds dear in the third volume of the number-one New York Times best-selling A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court determined to gather information on Tamlin's maneuverings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian to its knees. But to do so, she must play a deadly game of deceit - and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre but for her world as well.

As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust among the dazzling and lethal High Lords - and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

In this thrilling third book in the number-one New York Times best-selling series from Sarah J. Maas, the earth will be painted red as mighty armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy them all.

Where is Jennifer Ikeda?

Why would you bring in a new narrator for the final book of this series after all the characters and the rhythm are established? The jolt is harsh. Jennifer Ikeda is fabulous and I am entirely disappointed with the change. Poor decision.

I love this book , but bad move changing narrator

The thing I love about the audio books is how invested you get in the voices, emotive ways they speak etc. To change the voice in the final book... it caused me to loose all dedication to the characters. I tried but couldn't finish. I now won't buy one if the voice changed during any series. bad move :(

WHY IS THE NARRATOR DIFFERENT!?!???

I’m so not impressed. I’m a few seconds in and I already don’t want to listen.

Makes no sense. Poor form. I’d be seriously annoyed if I’d payed full price for this

thank goodness it's over

The only thing that saved this book from getting one star was the final battle.
I never want to hear the following words again:
cleave
sheath
my mate
vulgar gesture
and the miss pronunciation of the words shone(shawn not shoohn) and foyer(foy-yay not Foyher)
If book two grated my nerves book three had me shouting at it every time I heard 'my mate', everytime Feyre spoke, thought or gazed in awe, every damn time she compared Rhysand to Tamlyn, at every vulgar gesture, at every snide petty shitty inappropriate comment the author thought was funny.
Spoiler alert: they weren't.

I just don't understand how this long-ass, wordy, ridiculous book wasn't edited to within an inch of it's life? Half the descriptions weren't needed, there was SO MUCH repetition and the sex scenes were...I can't even. I'm so glad it's over.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually wouldn't mind reading Nesta and Cassians story. It must be some kind of Stockholm syndrome for books I'm suffering from. Send help...

Good job by the narrator

I was really worried that the change of narrator after the second book would be really difficult to get used to and ruin the story, but I didn't find it a problem at all. Mainly down to the narrator's skill I suspect, as I felt the intonation she used throughout echoed the narration of the first two books, which helped massively. It felt like a pretty seamless change to me.

More romance/sex fantasy than sci-fantasy

I've really enjoyed many audiobooks from this author but this trilogy as become incresingly frustrating by padding it out with constant sex scenes. Now I don't mind the occasional one but with every book it's become more & more until I got to the point where it seems it's all the main characters do, (even before & after horrendous battles), that it's become irritating, spoilt the story with lazy, repetitive writing that had me fast forwarding through it. Sad that such a good authour & story was ultimately spoilt by this. I'd rather it was 2hrs shorter & left out 90% of those scenes so I could enjoy the story.
I'd also say it's therefore not suitable for younger readers.

Couldn't put it down.

Really great third book and it has left me wanting more stories of Feyra and Rhysand.

Ruined the series for me

Spoilers ahead!
The switch of main characters for me just really ruined the whole series for me. About half way through the book Feyre starts being less likelable and we’re meant to start liking Nesta? I can’t stand Nesta’s character and reading the book became a chore. There was no plot or romance and it was mostly boring. I loved the first and second books with all my heart and had to DNF this one at 40%. Really really disliked this.

Not as good as the other books in series, made worse by terrible narrator

SJM looks to have lost stamina in writing this book. The other two started strong but this book is full of terrible filler dialogue that meanders and you lose interest in between plot progression chapters. All of this would’ve been tolerable if a there was a half decent narrator.

She intonates incorrectly most of the time, losing the meaning of what the characters are saying. All characters sounds exactly the same so you often have no idea who is talking. She makes everyone sound like a moody teenager with her added “umms” and “ahhs”. She really spoiled the book.
