About this listen
"Narrator Samara Samara MacLaren wields a distinct voice and mannerism for each character to fully engross listeners with a unique world of complex magic."—AudioFile on Daughter of Redwinter
Having been saved from execution at the hands of the Draoihn—powerful magic users Raine used to count as allies—Raine finds herself in the Fault, a vast magical wasteland, which is falling apart before her eyes.
Alongside her two closest companions, they are searching for the only person Raine believes can help them get back home: the enigmatic and infuriatingly elusive Queen of Feathers.
But what home are they trying to get back to? Ovitus LacNaithe, power-hungry traitor that he is, has taken control of the Draoihn and is unwittingly doing the bidding of a darker master. He is soon to take control of the Crown of Harranir and plunge the land into unending darkness.
The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance. The stakes have never been higher. It’s going to take Raine’s dark, terrible powers, as well as the unbreakable bond of three friends, to ensure everyone lives to see the dawn.

981 AD. The Viking King of Dublin is dead. His young widow, Gormflaith, has ambitions for her son – and herself – but Ireland is a dangerous place and kings tend not to stay kings for long. Gormflaith also has a secret. She is one of the Fomorians, an immortal race who can do fire-magic. She has kept her powers hidden at all costs, for there are other immortals in this world – like the Tuatha DE Danann, a race of warriors who are sworn to kill Fomorians.

The boy has lived his whole life trapped within a book-choked chamber older than empires and larger than cities. The girl has been plucked from the outskirts of civilization to be trained as a librarian, studying the mysteries of the great library at the heart of her kingdom. They were never supposed to meet.

Story
The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm - that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict. Is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon.

graceful close to the trilogy
the world building was nicely woven into the story and I found the overarching internal dialogue to be a nice technique that tied through to the ending theme.

Fantastic performance by the narrator!
While the middle dragged a bit as there was some rehashing of the same ideas often, overall the beginning and ends make up for its shortcomings to form an excellent ending to the trilogy.

Ed McDonald is awesome!
This was a great book! A really good ending, I felt like he closed most of the arcs really well, and I never want a good series to end. All things must and this was a great series. I can’t wait for more!!

What a ride!
I Really enjoyed every book in this series a ton- the series was very satisfying. Why is there a 15 word minimum just to say I really liked it. I'm not paid to write ad copy.

Very different from the first two books…
Ultimately, I loved this series. Even with the issues I had with book 3, I would recommend book 1 to anyone as a stand-alone title. This final installment just felt a bit off to me.
There’s a ton of nothing happening in many of the chapters in this one, which slows down the pacing and gets boring quickly. If 1/3 of this book were trimmed out, I honestly don’t think anything would have been missed from the story.
Overall, the plot and the ideas behind it are good, but the story is not delivered well (which is a first for me with Ed McDonald). I don’t feel I can go into specifics without major major spoilers, so I will leave this purposefully vague. I do still recommend this series and, on the whole, I loved it (especially the first book). But, for me, I am unlikely to reread the third book.
To anyone who enjoyed this series, McDonald’s first trilogy is also quite good. Cheers! And happy reading :)

I don't know why I wasted my time on this book. The first book in the series was ok, the second one bad, and this one was boring and tedious. I would describe this series as a young adult romantacy hidden in a dark fantasy wrapping to try and appeal to adults. The romantic and self depriving inner dialogue of the main character just becomes so annoying that I could not finish this book. I am mad at myself for thinking maybe this book would have some character growth that results in the promise the first book hinted at. No luck.
I wouldn't recommend this book/series for anyone over the age of 15. The narration from Samara MacLaren was great, as it was throughout the series. The only reason I made it this far.
