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.

Why change the narrator??

I listened to the first two books one after the other and was so excited to dive into the last one until I started playing it and realised IT WAS A DIFFERENT NARRATOR! I got so used to listening to the characters in the previous narrator’s voice that it really threw me off trying to listen to the final book in a completely different voice!

Good story with a poor performance

Reader let the story down. Irritating at times. I won’t buy a book with the same reader again.

Meh

Nowhere near as good as the last book, although the narration may have had something to do with it, the narration was just terrible! She got the emotions all wrong. Really hope they get someone else to narrate the story, as this narrator left me feeling nothing at all except irritation.

Yes it’s a different narrator but she’s brilliant

Story is epic, if you liked the first two you will love the third. As for the narration, yes it’s different to the first two and that can be jarring if you listen to them back to back but after an hour or two the voices blend and fade and she’s brilliant. I’m upset to see some comments suggesting otherwise. A great listen!

Bring back Jennifer!

Read the book first - LOVED IT, so I bought it on Audible. Looking forward to listening to it on my drive to work when I realise the characters all sound wrong. Rhysand was the most disappointing. No emotion at all! I just assumed the Narrator would be Jennifer !?! I mean why would you change Narrators through a series - right?

Not with a bang but with a whimper

I found this conclusion to A Court of Thorns and Roses fairly underwhelming. It wasn't awful but I felt it under delivered. The first two books built strong and complex characters who demonstrated that humans (and fae) weren't good or bad but a messy in-between. And the most compelling part of this series was that these characters faced real danger and risked real harm. This book failed to follow through on those risks and failed to round out character arcs in a believable way, it felt as if Maas had pulled her punches. The plot also felt rushed, a lot of threads were left loose while "angsty" but overall unnecessary plot arcs were included despite not adding anything to the story.

Good book, didn't like the narrator

As always, the books by Sarah J. Mass are thrilling. Good story, well written. I the only thing I didn't like was the narrator - some sentences were over done i thought. The narrator from the first 2 books in this series was better, it would have been great to keep her on for the final book.

Basically 50 shades of fairy

Book 1 was certainly entertaining, and was keen to read what was to come next. Such a disappointment, super predictable, and once the r-rated scenes started, the thing became truly unbearable. Couldn’t finish, even the writing seemed to decline once that point hit, left me feeling annoyed, tried to skip through those LONG scenes. But the story just didn’t hold up for me anymore, such a shame.

Love the series

Not as great as the first two books however I still enjoyed this one. I would have preferred the original narrator!
