About this listen

With the future of the Great Library in doubt, the unforgettable characters from Ink and Bone must decide if it's worth saving in this thrilling adventure in the New York Times best-selling series.

The corrupt leadership of the Great Library has fallen. But with the Archivist plotting his return to power, and the Library under siege from outside empires and kingdoms, its future is uncertain. Jess Brightwell and his friends must come together as never before, to forge a new future for the Great Library...or see everything it stood for crumble.

a little disappointed

I loved the series, the world building was fabulous. But this last book felt like a head long rush to wrap up the storylines.

The most exceptional saga I've ever heard!

It pulls you in and transforms you into a part of it. Beautifully written with a extraordinary ending, and a note from the author at the close that will touch the heart of anyone who truly loves books, history, and the world around.
Bravo, Rachel, bravo.

a great end to a great series

I love the works and characters of Rachel, and this did not disappoint. Gripping and emotional, I don't want to actually leave. But the end is the end, and this one was so good.

Wonderful surprise in fiction

I wasn't sure what to expect. I enjoy all types of books. This one was full of deep characters and a very well developed plot that kept me hungering for the next chapter. While fiction it spoke many truths about power and knowledge. Well worth my time. It will be a favorite for many years to come. Kudos to the author.

After nearly a year, I’m going to miss my dear friends.

I loved every volume of this story and every one of the fantastic characters who populated it.

Best series I have read since Harry Potter.

A beautiful story. I love the characters. I hate when I finish a series with such a unique plot and characters. It is like leaving friends.

Just discovered Rachel Caine- RIP

I learned about Ms. Caine after she passed away last month. This is the first series I’ve read and I love it! What an amazing talent for world building. I’m grateful for the gifts she left us.

Engaging and enjoyable book series

I really enjoyed these five books. The premise underlying them is imaginative and fascinating. The author is skilled. There were a few minor glitches in the Audible versions of the last two books by the reader. But they can be looked past.
