About this listen

 Relieved that Lorkin is coming home, Sonea prepares to meet with the traitors on behalf of the Guild. Then bad news arrives: the Sachakan king has imprisoned her son. As the Sachakan king tries to force Lorkin into betraying the traitors, Dannyl questions his friendship with Ashaki Achati. Can he trust the Sachakan? Not at all, if Tayend is right. But do Tayend’s suspicions spring from good political instincts, or jealousy? Easily evading capture by the Guild, the Rogue knows only one obstacle lies between him and his ambition to rule the underworld: Cery. Forced into hiding, protected by Lilia, Cery must wait for the Guild to find his enemy. But is Black Magician Kallen purposefully failing in his task? And Lorkin must decide where his loyalties lie, for whatever choice he makes will require a great sacrifice.©2012 Trudi Canavan (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Action & Adventure Epic Epic Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Historical Royalty King

Critic reviews

"Richard Aspel maintains the listener's engagement throughout this long conclusion to the Traitor Spy Trilogy. He sets a steady pace and makes judicious use of pauses to keep the narrative moving forward and the dialogue energized. Aspel presents the parallel plotlines in the straightforward style of a narrator who is interested in the events he recounts and has a fondness for the main characters. He carries this through even to the glossary, which would be of more value to listeners if it were also available online. Jumping in at the conclusion of this complex tale, which continues the adventures of characters created in the Black Magician Trilogy, is not recommended." (AudioFile Magazine)

loved the narrator not to much over expression left some to my imagination, story line seemed to rush to the end a bit but still loved it

story line finished too quickly

Have read all of Trudi Canavan's books and as I couldn't carry this book around with me I listened to it. This is a great story and this book brings the trilogy to a neat conclusion. Can't wait for a new book and possibly a trilogy or more?

Excellent!

If you have not experienced trudi canavan before I would start with the Magician's Guild first as it it's the trilogy before this one. A combination of great plot twists, interesting characters and a beautifully sculpted magical world once you start listening you will not want to turn it off!

Fantastic end to the Trilogy!!

Loved this book, finished off the trilogy nicely. Must admit I didn’t want it to end and would love to see another book featuring these characters in the future.

Awesome!

All and all I like Trudy Canavans books, her series milleniums rule is one of my favorite fantasy series. However both these trilogies are a bit dialogue heavy with characters constantly second guessing their actions. It gets a bit dreary after a while. There are allso great build upps with kinda anticlimactic finnishes, this book in particular. I know by by now her style of writing and didnt expect an epic resolution to it all but a small part of me had hope that it would be more then it was. Dont get me wrong the books are good, they really are. I would have just prefered a bit more action I guess.

a bit anti climactic

From start to finish this book is interesting and enjoyable, my only problem was in parts it felt a little rushed, the war was over in no time at all. But saying that I will listen to it again and feel it is a fitting end to the trilogy, I look forward to finding out what direction she takes her world next

Brilliant

so i read the first two books of the trilogy and decided to listen to the last one. the audiobook was well read and the book itself was very good. the one downside was that the book skips between characters a lot and sometimes its hard to follow when listening.

a fine finale

Really enjoyed the entire series. Trudi Canavan is a great writer. If you liked the earlier ones this is more of the same.
