'One of the best fantasy novels I've read in a long time...This book is truly special' Sarah J. Maas on The Bone Shard Daughter

The Bone Shard War is the epic finale to the unmissable, action-packed and magic-laced Drowning Empire series.

Lin Sukai has won her first victory as Emperor, but the future of the Phoenix Empire hangs in the balance - and Lin is dangerously short of allies.

As her own governors plot treason, the Shardless Few renew hostilities. Worse still, Lin discovers her old nemesis Nisong has joined forces with the rogue Alanga, Ragan. Both seek her death.

Yet hopes lies in history. Legend tells of seven mythic swords, forged in centuries past. If Lin can find them before her enemies, she may yet be able to turn the tide.

If she fails, the Sukai dynasty - and the entire empire - will fall.

I have never encountered a world with such an original and creative (and at times gross) magic system. Not just the bone shard magic, but also the mystery of the creatures called ossalen and what they mean to the world and the empire. (There are some plot twists waiting in this book for you). On top of that there are the constructs who just add to the otherworldly feeling.

In this third installment of the series, the empire is still drowning, and the war is raging. It's not easy to determine what is best for a country, despite all the good intentions. However, Andrea Stewart knows how to write endings in a really satisfying way, so you'll come out of the trilogy with a real good feeling. The book is MultiPOV again, and this might be my only criticism. Sadly I did not care for every POV character, so the changes took me out of the book time and again. I understand that such a vast world needs more than two characters, and all the plot lines eventually come together nicely. Still, I would have loved to spend more time with Lin and Jovis, and instead of some other POVs, rather have one from Ayesh instead, who I find very intriguing. The audiobook is narrated very well again, with three narrators giving life to all the different characters. 4/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @hachetteus for the eARC!
