Summary
The final chapter in the best-selling, critically acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy, in which a con woman and an idealistic djinn prince join forces to save a magical kingdom from a devastating civil war.
Daevabad has fallen.
After a brutal conquest stripped the city of its magic, Nahid leader Banu Manizheh and her resurrected commander, Dara, must try to repair their fraying alliance and stabilise a fractious, warring people.
But the bloodletting and loss of his beloved Nahri have unleashed the worst demons of Dara’s dark past. To vanquish them, he must face some ugly truths about his history and put himself at the mercy of those he once considered enemies.
Having narrowly escaped their murderous families and Daevabad’s deadly politics, Nahri and Ali, now safe in Cairo, face difficult choices of their own. While Nahri finds peace in the old rhythms and familiar comforts of her human home, she is haunted by the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind and the people who considered her a savior are at the mercy of a new tyrant. Ali, too, cannot help but look back and is determined to return to rescue his city and the family that remains. Seeking support in his mother’s homeland, he discovers that his connection to the marid goes far deeper than expected and threatens not only his relationship with Nahri but his very faith.
As peace grows more elusive and old players return, Nahri, Ali, and Dara come to understand that in order to remake the world, they may need to fight those they once loved...and take a stand for those they once hurt.

Wonderful final chapter for this trilogy
I have loved this rich trilogy from start to finish. Such a perfectly realised world rich in the mythology of the Greater Middle East

Thoroughly entertaining and provides closure
I have enjoyed this trilogy, and the final instalment provided so many twists and turns that it kept you on your toes.
I love how everything tied together and fates are so intertwined, even in the final moments of the book new truths and revelations that were shocking, heartwarming and/or intriguing kept coming to light.
Great delivery by Nankani, hats off to her and the editor as I was particularly impressed and engaged by the timing and tone of delivery.
I read paperbacks of the first two, definitely preferred the audio experience of the third one!

Fantastic!
I enjoyed every minute of this trilogy! The adventures are amazing, the plot keeps twisting and stays exciting till the end. The setting of the story is magical,
excellent world building, so naturally and well written it all feels real. But most of all i loved the main characters, their dilemmas, emotions and choices and actions. Even after (just) over 70 hours of listening to this trilogy, i still wished it would continue. Thank you for these beautifully written and performed books, which immediately made it to my list of most favourite audiobooks!

Great ending to a fantastic trilogy!
An excellent series, complex and morally grey characters and situations, interesting world building. The ending was very satisfactory, tying up enough loose ends while leaving some things open. The narrator was also very good throughout, with each character's performance distinct.
