About this listen
Mage Alex Verus has gone from a Camden shopkeeper to one of the most powerful mages in Britain. Now his last and most dangerous battle lies before him.
Alex's girlfriend, the life mage Anne, has fallen fully under the control of the deadly djinn she made a bargain with, and it is preparing to create an army of mages subject to its every whim. Alex, the Council, and the Dark mage Richard Drakh agree to call a truce in their war, and plans are made for a joint attack. Alex knows that it's only a matter of time before Drakh and the Council turn on each other...and neither cares about keeping Anne alive. Can Alex figure out a way to stop Anne and to free her from possession before time runs out for the people he loves?

the best series I've ever read
Look, I'm a psychologist and as a psychologist I very often struggle with characters. But Alex and the others are so good, so not naive or NPC like, that I just relish every one of them. Story is great and neat and not simple, rooted in flawed minds as it should have. The best out of hundreds.

Great book
Very fitting ending to a great story. Had a few tears. I wish I could read the whole series again for the first time...

Thoughtful, intense, action-packed, I loved it
Risen was a fittingly thoughtful, emotionally intense and action-packed climax to the Alex Verus series. It exceeded my expectations with the battle scenes and particularly with how several difficult threads were wrapped up. I also appreciated all the nuances of Alex's situation on every level that were brought out and addressed.
Gildart Jackson's narration was outstanding as always, lending the right gravitas and emotional depth with clarity and good pacing.
I hope with the continuing fall in minimum real production cost, the proliferation of talent, and the growth of the streaming model, that one day the Alex Verus series gets made into an animated series on the level of the Netflix hit, Arcane. It would be absolutely glorious.
