Publisher's summary
Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Cynthia Erivo narrates Tomi Adeyemi’s long-awaited conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Legacy of Orïsha series.
New allies rise.
The Blood Moon nears.
Zélie faces her final enemy.
The king who hunts her heart.
When Zélie seized the royal palace that fateful night, she thought her battles had come to an end. The monarchy had finally fallen. The maji had risen again. Zélie never expected to find herself locked in a cage and trapped on a foreign ship. Now warriors with iron skulls traffic her and her people across the seas, far from their homeland.
Then everything changes when Zélie meets King Baldyr, her true captor, the ruler of the Skulls, and the man who has ravaged entire civilizations to find her. Baldyr’s quest to harness Zélie’s strength sends Zélie, Amari, and Tzain searching for allies in unknown lands.
But as Baldyr closes in, catastrophe charges Orïsha’s shores. It will take everything Zélie has to face her final enemy and save her people before the Skulls annihilate them for good.

Nestled between Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, Salix Pointe is not a place that many people know of. Part of the Golden Isles of Georgia, all the weeping willows that grow there have led the surrounding town’s folk to call it the Island of Death. Elisa and Tasmin may not want to put too much stock into the folklore of Salix Pointe, but there is a reason that the universe has brought the two women together.

Thirty years ago, a young woman was murdered, a family was lynched, and New Orleans saw the greatest magical massacre in its history. In the days that followed, a throne was stolen from a queen. On the anniversary of these brutal events, Clement and Cristina Trudeau—the sixteen-year-old twin heirs to the powerful, magical, dethroned family—are mourning their father and caring for their sick mother. Until, by chance, they discover their mother isn’t sick—she’s cursed. Cursed by someone on the very magic council their family used to rule. Someone who will come for them next.

Zélies Welt war einst voller Magie. Flammentänzer spielten mit dem Feuer, Geistwandler schufen schillernde Träume und Seelenfänger wie Zélies Mutter wachten über Leben und Tod. Bis zu der Nacht, als ihre Kräfte versiegten und der machthungrige König von Orïsha jeden einzelnen Magier töten ließ. Die Blutnacht beraubte Zélie ihrer Mutter und nahm einem ganzen Volk die Hoffnung. Jetzt hat Zélie eine einzige Chance, die Magie nach Orïsha zurückzuholen. Ihre Mission führt sie über dunkle Pfade, wo rachedurstige Geister lauern, und durch glühende Wüsten, die ihr alles abverlangen.

A wealthy businessman is dead, and fifteen-year-old Ruby Monroe is in a Dallas jail awaiting trial for his murder. Ruby has no one she can count on—no one, except her state-appointed caseworker, a woman named Cadence Ware. In Ruby’s experience, that’s not anyone she can trust. Cadence is familiar with the cold reality of Ruby’s situation, even before Ruby was arrested. Angry and alone, homeless and hungry, breaking the law just to survive, she is the kind of girl no one wants to listen to, especially not the prosecutor who wants to put her away for life.

Elisabeth Scrivener is finally settling into her new life with sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn. Now that their demon companion Silas has returned, so has scrutiny from nosy reporters hungry for gossip about the city’s most powerful sorcerer and the librarian who stole his heart. But something strange is afoot at Thorn Manor: the estate’s wards, which are meant to keep their home safe, are acting up and forcibly trapping the Manor's occupants inside. Surely it must be a coincidence that this happened just as Nathaniel and Elisabeth started getting closer to one another.

A lot of thoughts…
The narration was good, but difficult to get into. After listening ro Bahni Turpin for the first two books, Cynthia Erivo was a surprise. BT gave each character a distinct voice and brought them to light, while CE was more authentic, albeit subdued and indistinguishable. I couldn’t figure out who was speaking.
As for the story, I’m glad I relistened to the first two books before listening to this. But having done so, I fell in love with the characters again and the hope they would all find their way to one another. I wanted so much for this final book and I didn’t get it.
My issue though, and this isn’t a spoiler, is that this book felt rushed, disjointed, and the character growth developed over the last two books stopped here. The characters existed and just did the work, one changing to seemingly satisfy current times and the expectations of work. I’ll set that comment there.
This book needed another 3h of listening. Much like the first book which was long and developed each character, this book needed to be as long as able to close out these characters. There were so many unfinished and loose ends. There were pivots that gave you whiplash. There was a huge missing character that needed to have been mentioned more than the single time… And worse, there were conversations that were left UNCONVERSED (made up this word).
I wanted so much for this book. I didn’t get it. I want to love it, but I don’t. After 4 years, I wanted more.

Good story, Didn’t feel apart of overall series
I feel like I would have enjoyed the story more as a standalone rather than having had just done a re-listen of the second book immediately before listening to the third. Also preference would have been for original narrator.

They Shouldn’t Have Changed Narrators
I listened to the first two books and loved them. Sadly they went with a new narrator with this last book (because she’s more famous?) and I can’t finish it. She has awkward pauses and little to no emotion so I find myself spacing out and losing track of the story. Guess I’ll have to get a copy from the library to finish the series.

A great fantasy page turner!
I didn’t like the long wait! But I did appreciate the vivid excitement that it brought! I had a hard time following some of the titles of the characters but I simply waited and listened for their names eventually.

Worth the wait
Ms. Erivo is an excellent narrator. I really liked how she accented her words and how she subtly changed voices for each character.

Now we are triumphant…
This series has been a roller coaster of emotions for me; I’ve cried, yelled and even cheered for what the characters had to get through to get the end they wanted. Now the thing I enjoy most was the epic scenes where we’re introduced into a new world outside of orisha, and the villains of this story. I can’t recommend this book enough, it’s definitely a reread for sure!

One of these things is not like the other
The narration in the first 2 books really brought the characters to life. I feel this last book was lacking the distinction between the characrs and the voices. Although the story telling was along the story line, the ending didn't meet my expectations of the authors brillant writing. It felt rushed. With that being said, I still love this author and can't wait to read more of her future writings.

Agreed w the other reviews…
The 3rd book was lost upon me. Story line took a right turn. The narrator was different from the last two books, why? Why do all season finales fall short? The last two books were amazing and couldn’t stop listening to them, this one, I felt I just needed to know the ending and move on.
