The highly anticipated third book in Sabaa Tahir's New York Times bestselling Ember Quartet.
Beyond the Empire and within it, the threat of war looms ever larger.
The Blood Shrike, Helene Aquilla, is assailed on all sides. Emperor Marcus, haunted by his past, grows increasingly unstable, while the Commandant capitalizes on his madness to bolster her own power. As Helene searches for a way to hold back the approaching darkness, her sister's life and the lives of all those in the Empire hang in the balance.
Far to the east, Laia of Serra knows the fate of the world lies not in the machinations of the Martial court, but in stopping the Nightbringer. But while hunting for a way to bring him down, Laia faces unexpected threats from those she hoped would aid her, and is drawn into a battle she never thought she'd have to fight.
And in the land between the living and the dead, Elias Veturius has given up his freedom to serve as Soul Catcher. But in doing so, he has vowed himself to an ancient power that will stop at nothing to ensure Elias's devotion – even at the cost of his humanity.

Ik houd van deze serie. Boek 3, deze dus, is mijn favoriet. De voorlezers doen het allemaal goed, maar Jack Farrars, die de stem van Elias inspreekt, steekt er voor mij met kop en schouders bovenuit.

2ex luisteren: ik heb nu de eerste 3 boeken achter elkaar geluisterd en dan is dit 3e deel minder saai en moeilijk te volgen. Ben benieuwd naar deel 41e x luisteren: De eerste 2 boeken waren fantastisch, zeker in tempo. Dit boek is veel trager en vol informatie met weinig actie, pas op het eind. Ik heb het een paar keer "weggelegd", verheug me nu op het slotdeel

Brilliant. My favourite book so far in the series. We get lots of plot and plot twists. We get backstory and character growth. We start to see all heroes and villains fleshed out and less easily categorised. It's brilliant, with such vivid imagery and beautifully lyrical language. I've written many quotes down from this book that I will be taking with me down my own path. This story goes to the heart of love and life, and thus also loneliness and despair. Stabbed me right in the chest.

This series has some of the best character work and scheming out there. I never know what’s coming but this book clear has a lot of positioning the characters into their final stand. I have a sense it will be brutal

Hier haak ik af eerste boek top en toen werd het langdradig en het gaat nu over meer personen. Jammer dat er niet dieper wordt ingegaan op haar en hem. Blijft opervlakkig
