Endsinger

The Lotus War, Book Three

By: Jay Kristoff

Narrated by: Jennifer Ikeda

With Stormdancer, Jay Kristoff came roaring onto the fantasy scene - he has been praised as "the master of unique and intense plots and huge twists" (USA Today), while critics raved about the novel, calling it "[A] fast-paced, fantastical adventure [that] is sharp as a Shogun's sword." (The LA Times). And with healthy sales in hardcover and electronic - fueled by Jay's inventive, enthusiastic, and relentless promotion on his website, Facebook, Twitter, and the blogosphere - we know readers are hungry for the finale to his wildly inventive Lotus War saga.

As civil war sweeps across the Shima Imperium, the Lotus Guild unleashes their deadliest creation - a mechanical goliath, intended to unite the shattered Empire under a yoke of fear. Yukiko and Buruu are forced to take leadership of the rebellion, gathering new allies and old friends. But the ghosts of Buruu's past stand between them and the army they need, and Kin's betrayal has destroyed all trust among their allies. When a new foe joins the war, it will be all the pair can do to muster the strength to fight, let alone win. And as the earth splits asunder, as armies destroy each other for rule over an empire of lifeless ash and the final secret about blood lotus is revealed, the people of Shima will learn one last, horrifying truth. An exciting, vivid conclusion to a critically acclaimed series, Endsinger is sure to have fans racing through the minutes to savor every last revelation.

Great series and entertaining story.

The Lotus war series is one of my new favorites. welcome to a steam punk distopia that includes legendary mythical creatures and semi magical powers. it is exciting from the beginning and holds your attention throughout. great story and excellent performance by Jennifer Ikeda.

Breathtaking Fresh Riveting

Twisting across your imagination like white chocolate mousse. Combination Samaria, Steampunk, and Fantasy, written by a man who knows how to voice a female hero. Deeply challenging your view of the world, technology vs conservation, boshido vs free will, interwoven with love and loss, friendship, joy and pain. What a wonderful ride, what more can we ask for. Victory at what price, leaves you begging for more.

The audio was great, a challenging book to read out loud, brought to life with only minor points that could be improved.

What a unique series!

I really enjoyed the mix and the changes in the story with each book. I especially liked the visual descriptions given!

Good ending to story

Is not perfect and some of the ending is a bit predictable, but for the most part was a good ending book to this trilogy.

A number of tearjerker moments, a few surprises and a lot of reality in this ending book. Not everyone lives, not everyone happy at the end and not all wounds heal. there is good , there is bad and there is ugly in the story and the characters act/react like real people not made up happily ever after fair story characters.

Was very enjoyable to listen to and the story makes you want to get involved with the characters. Any moral or other preaching the author might have been doing in the trilogy was gentle and did not overpower the story. which is as it should be.

Great end to a great series!

This series had its ups and downs for me but im glad I stuck through til the end.
