Story
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Story
Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned. As a huntsman of the Church, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation - marriage. Lou, unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, must make a choice. And love makes fools of us all.

A wonderful conclusion!!
I loved this series so much!! And the final book did not let me down - A truly thrilling and satisfying ending to Diana and Matthews' story!!
What made this series all the more brilliant to listen to was the fantastic narrator - her voice was excellent and her subtle changes in tone, her broad ability for accents and the feeling she put behind every single sentence was incredible and very well done!!

Superb narration
While the story is predictable, the narration of the All souls trio makes it well worth listening too!
I love a good story and this trilogy is just that. However, I am not sure if it would stand the test of
time if it were not for Jennifer Ikeda.

The narration of Jennifer Ikeda is brilliant! I found myself reading the hard copy book in the same voices provided by the narration...I couldn’t wait to hear the characters come to life through Jennifer!
A fitting finale to the All Souls Trilogy, I want to read more!
