Only Unity Will Spare Us

The Magi Accounts, Book 5

De: Michele Notaro

Narrado por: Zachary Zaba

I made a promise to the enemy… and I intended to keep it.

Thank the goddess I have my pride and my wonderful, amazing mate—whose patience matches no other—because the world is in chaos, and Cosmo is my rock, my safe place inside the storm. If only I could find the time between witches, work, politics, and family to prove it to him.

The Shifter and Magi Equality Act is in full effect, supposedly making us equals, but the people themselves—the humans—are still treating us as lesser. Every time I turn around, we’re running into trouble between humans and non-humans.

To make matters worse, witches are everywhere in Fairview City, and the Red Cloth is encouraging humans to join their forces and challenge the equality my people have fought so hard to get.

And now, Anderson is back. Back and gunning for me.

But he doesn’t realize I’m gunning for him, too.

Only Unity Will Spare Us is the fifth and FINAL book in the MM urban fantasy series, The Magi Accounts. It’s recommended to listen to the series in order because the romance and plot progress throughout the series.

The Action Packed Conclusion!

Going to start off by saying this final listen brings everything to a head! I will not skimp here; it is pretty violent! Madeo, Cosmos and friends have to fight for their happy ending. Love what a found family they all truly are. Madeo and Cosmos have grown and changed together so much over this series. Madeo's thoughts still make me chuckle! We get mostly his POV, but we get some time with Cosmos as well. This was an epic series of world building and character building and Zacharay Zaba has the perfect narrating voice for this Fantasy world and all the different special characters!

Amazing!!!

This ending brings everything together. Things are tense and the action is hitting hard in this one. I was so anxious for how things would turn out for these characters. I have adored each one so much and wanted them to get their HEA. I was thrilled we got both Madeo and Cosmo’s PoVs. It brought even more of the emotions to the front along with more depth to their relationship. I was bitting my nails many times. The ending is just fantastic and so worth it! I hope we get more in this world because I’m going to miss these characters. I had so much fun with this series!

Loved it

Only Unity Will Spare Us is the 5th and final book in The Magi Accounts series and what an ending. I couldn't put this book down once I started it. We are back with Madeo, Cosmo, and the rest of the pride. This book had everything I could ask for action, love, and a perfect ending. I love this world and the characters so much that I hate saying goodbye to them. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars because it deserves more. Michele Notaro is an amazing author and I look forward to the next book she writes. If you get the audio narration, Zachary Zaba does a wonderful job of narrating this series. He makes the change in characters seamlessly and I love the sound of his voice. I can't wait to listen to his next book. I would definitely recommend this book and series as 5 star reads.

Amazing and hard-won finale

"Only Unity Will Spare Us" is the final book in The Magi Accounts series by Michele Notaro. It is a series that has a main core of 5 books and several companion novels and novellas. The core group needs to be read in order as this is an involved and evolving tale that begins with book 1 and doesn't end until book 5. The companion stories are recommended as they deal with other characters and do have a bit of effect of the core books, but they are not 100% necessary.

*** There is a note for Triggers at the beginning that mentions a section of historical child abuse as a memory, that is in italics so it can be skipped. There is nothing to mark this spot in the audiobooks so I will mention that it is almost all Chapter 5 and that it is a chapter that can be skipped is necessary.***

I just finished the audiobook narrated by Zachary Zaba (another amazing narration!) and I am in a bit of a daze. The book is fantastic and wraps up all of the onging issues through out the whole series. It is a hard story. From beginning to end there is a lot of violence, and sadness and some light moments to help carry them. But, finally Mads, Jude and the rest of the Ono Nai Pride can live happy and healthy lives, as equal citizens of the US, and all the rights they were denied before.

A Purrfect Ending to an Amazing Series! Excellent Story & Narration🎧

I absolutely love this fascinating world Michele Notaro created for her amazing “Magi Accounts” series, an urban fantasy with incredible world building, character growth and development, magical storylines that includes equally fascinating characters, including shifters, witches, mage, and other paranormal beings and monsters. And what makes this series so amazing are the characters, characters I adored, Cosmo, a lion shifter and Madeo “Mads” a Magi and his sidekick and connected dyad, Jude, as well as various other secondary/support characters and members of the Ono-Nai pride, a found family of shifters and magi. This is the last book of the series and is an action-packed story with ups-and-downs, and thrilling and suspenseful moments that take you to the edge of your seat. An ending that is worthy of these amazing characters and one that will stay with me for a very long time. It was not always easy for them, but I loved how far they have come, in society and amongst the pride. There is never a dull moment in this cleverly plotted story, and it has plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and a wonderful romance. Michele Notaro, thank you for this amazing story and wild ride. 

🎧📚🎧 Zachary Zaba did a fantastic job voicing the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them. His portrayal of the character was spot on and I loved how he took each role and made it his own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. He set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. Zaba is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for another fabulous listen.

And this too shall end

So sad to see these guys go. Loved the conclusion and Zachary Zaba's narration of them. Love that this whole book wasn't just Mad's point-of-voice but that we got Cos's as well. A lot of buildup but all wrapped up nicely and a lovely HEA for the two. Promises were kept. Love blooms. Just a wonderful ending to this series.

What a finale!

This was a brilliant finale! I was listening to it at work and had to work not to cry! I hope there is still stories about this pride as I will miss my friends otherwise!

Phenomenal ending!

I can't believe this amazing series is finally complete! I will miss these characters so much, they will live rent free in my head forever. I LOVED this book so much and it was such a fitting ending for this series. Zachary Zaba did a lovely job narrating as well.

A 100% perfect ending to a very emotional series!! While Zaba is not one of my favorites, I’ve reached a point where I can enjoy the story through his narration.

What a wonderful conclusion to an amazing series! I’m sorry the series has come to an end but it was worth it. The narration is excellent.
