Summary

Prophesized heroes are reborn. The burden they bear is as terrible as it is necessary.

The dead city of Mahadev. In 3,000 years, none who have entered those ageless walls have returned to bear word of what evil lurks within. And yet it is there that Cinder and Anya must journey. A hard road with mysteries and dangers abounding.

And the greatest of those perils is imprisoned within the ruined temple at the very center of the necropolis’ dark heart. There, Cinder and Anya are given insight into the terrifying truth the world faces. It is an evil so vast that even the dark god Shet must bow before its will. It is the bringer of apocalypse, the ender of civilizations. If ever freed, the world will be helpless before its horrific power.

Forging an alliance all would have rather avoided, Cinder and Anya have no choice but to work with Shet to take on this greater enemy. Worse, it is a pact that will see them give away that which they hold most precious.

Why

As mentioned the forced extra memory lose is just annoying and adds nothing to what has been a great series. I hope next, which i will be listening to, gets back on form and actually starts to sort some of the various threads.

Again ?

Plot forced them to lose there memories again and it made the last 9hours of the book torture as it was just the first book with a bit more drama

A drop in quality like no other...

I can't even begin to describe how disappointing this book was. books 1 and 2 were amazing. then this one ruined everything.

this book has everything. characters spend 2 books training with the sword etc only for them to go into a time machine and come back with all their powers abilities and memories. FIANALLY no more annoying amnesia right? WRONG main characters IMMEDIATELY have a demon alter their memories AND nerf their powers AND make them forget again. this goes as you would expect and now the MC's hate each other because the demon did more that promised. this is a horrible and stupid plot. and I hate this is what's happening.

this is book 3 of cinder and co. wanting to find his memories where every conversation the author spends half the time describing in detail, thoughts from characters in flowery language and immediately saying they forgot what they just thought (why even fucking write it then?)

so the MC's gets powered up right? 2 books of preparation of becoming the best warrior and finally we get the pay off? NO the mc get buffed by a hyperbolic time chamber and while they ate definatley WAY more powerful now it doesn't mean anything because they only encounter super powerful people. which would be fine if they were fighting Shet and his titans or the other villains but no. there on a quest to find some magic orbs and get seriously hurt and ru from lizards, a rat and cinder nearly dies from a bug. a regular sized one. holy shit it's bad. I genuinely couldn't keep listening when their was 25mins left and had to write this I'm so annoyed something I liked was written into the ground. I read somewhere this book is the weakest and I can say it's true without listening to book 4 because it can't get any worse.

echo's of the finale of chuck and just as annoying

2 and a half books leading to the main protagonists becoming themselves and feeling a little contentment that this overly draged element of the narrative was concluding and he uses a clunky plot device to stretch a plot point which was the annoying part of the whole story out further,it's like having to start a game from the begging because you have no save point so have lost all progress,I tend to stop playing those games cos they are by nature repetitive and tedious,skipped the final third of the book because the dialogue was almost back to the middle of testament of steel with internal musings on each other,will try the next book but if this is now just a story with no progression that will be the last

very disappointing

The first two books are excellent. What happened? The second half of this book just dragged on and on. Very disappointing.

Author completely drops the ball

too many new uninteresting viewpoints, jumps in time, and forced plotline twists that seemed nonsensical.
remembering and forgetting etc. Ive lost my interest in this completely.
