De: Amy A. Bartol

Narrado por: Kate Reinders

Roselle faces a mind-reeling showdown with the deep state agent controlling her psyche in the Wall Street Journal bestselling conclusion to the Secondborn series.

Roselle St. Sismode is many things: victim of a conspiracy, unwilling host of an ever-evolving mind algorithm, spy for a rebel army, and heir to the Fate of Swords. As a warrior, she’s also the anticipated main event at the Secondborn Trials. When the opening ceremonies erupt in chaos, Roselle is abducted by a sadistic agent with a diabolical plan: transform Roselle into a mind-controlled assassin to topple society. But a rogue scientist has implanted Roselle with a genius technology that is far more powerful. It renders her untouchable. Faster. Stronger. And maybe immortal.

With her enhanced abilities come the highest stakes yet, as Roselle confronts shifting realities at every turn as well as her own mother’s stunning betrayal. Racing against time with a determined resistance group, can Roselle overthrow the forces of destruction and reclaim the most valuable of commodities - her humanity?

Not what i expected

spoiler alert: she became a matrix like Neo like god, fighting an matrix like agent smith in Crow, who was created by an unseen architect like mastermind who wanted take over multiple worlds simultaneously. I won't even get into the love story. It was ridiculous.

Soooooooo...

okay now as someone who has read every Amy A Bartol book I can't deny I love her writing but the end in this one kinda threw me. I wanted more, the end just happened, I didn't feel like there was much of a big fight at the end. It just felt like bam okay we are done now.

Great series, slightly rushed ending.

I really enjoyed this series. I think my only critique is that the ending came so fast that it really didn’t feel as impactful as it could have. Still totally worth the listen.

This Is A Totally Different Series!!

This Final Book In The Trilogy Was Extremely Disappointing!! This third book seems like a totally different series was ending not the same story at all as the fist two books. The first two books of the series were extremely exciting and at the very least had the cohesiveness of a shared story and plot! This third book is totally out-of-left-field.

First off, it is extremely extremely meta and a good 2/3rds. of the book has no action, whereas the first two were action sequence after action sequence. Secondly, it seems extremely rushed towards the end or to be a bit more specific, during the series' resolution of the ongoing narrative of basically GOOD vs. EVIL. The ending seemed to me at the very least, very rushed and hastily and shoddily thrown together by the author to meet a deadline and not a natural let alone satisfying ending to a TRILOGY SERIES. I feel a lot of the minutia and slow progression that dominates the entire middle of this book could have been better edited and cut down and left more TIME for the telling of the end of this book and final battle sequence!! in fact that now occurs to me after just finishing the book, that the entire beginning and middle seem to have been put together very carefully and thoughtfully whereas the ending as I said prior seems to be rushed to meet a deadline it is very obvious that not the same care and time was taken with the end of this book as it was with writing the beginning and middle of this book, again this is just my humble opinion. Finally, the ending was extremely lackluster and anti-climactic. We as the readers definitely deserved a better ending than that!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have listened to the first two books in the series and feel a need to hear the ending to this story, I still would not suggest getting it or using a credit on it!!

VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!!!!!!!!

Not as good as the others

I found it really difficult to get through this third title. It’s exciting to finally get to the end of the series, but this one was a bit tedious to follow.

Outstanding

Absolutely wonderful way to end a series. There's still the possibility to add another book if she wants, but this was perfect.

Good story

The third book itself is a very good book. Very well written and interesting. But it doesn’t relate that well with the first two books. If it was it’s own book it would have a great. I wish there was a better ending. It seemed anticlimactic.

Disappointed

Overall I loved the story line. However after 3 books I'm disappointed in how quickly it came to an end.

Disappointing

I LOVED the first two books of this series, but was sorely disappointed by this one. It is as if the author gave up on trying to write more of the smart, well-crafted story line and resorted to parlor tricks to carry the plot. SPOILER ALERT: dragon gods? Roselle making food out of thin air, along with food on a silver serving cart? Being able to make gods of other people? It all just seemed like she had no idea how to finish what she’d begun so she just s tarted throwing every outlandish thing she could think of. And it all came down, after three books, to an anti-climactic fight of only a few paragraphs. Disappointing...

Different Than Expected

The story and narration is good but it is no where near the direction that the 1st 2 books lead you. Whatever you thought might happen, you are completely wrong. Just go in with an open mind.
