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.

Ending of a brilliant Trilogy performed beautifull
Incredible story, I fell deeply in love with Daevabad's world and Soneela Nankani does justice to this intricate and powerful story, her characterisation of each character is just instantly recognisable and so well done.
Honestly this has become one of my favourite Fantasy trilogy, and I don't often recommend the audiobook version when the lore is that detailed and complex but here it's just so beautifully done I can't help but put the paper version and audio version on the same level.

Hopefully more to come
The series held my attention all the way through, a most enjoyable listen with an excellent narrator who was able to make each character alive.

Great conclusion!
Really enjoyed this final book in the trilogy. The world and its descriptions in this series are awesome. This final book closed lots of open story threads and is equally full of its own suspense, twists and excitement. Enjoy!

Character development and depth
An amazing end to such an intricate trilogy! The performance of the narrator was excellent and portrayed each character very well! I am only upset that I didn’t get to see Alizayd and Nahri being a couple!

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.

A whole new world
I've read a lot of fantasy and was getting very bored by the old tropes. This is the perfect remedy! The setting is magical and the characters and plot are rich and complex. I enjoyed themes of overcoming tribal division and social divides, and find them much more fun to get in to in the context of a magical Arabian city than in real life.
