Holy Sister

Book of the Ancestor, Book 3

De: Mark Lawrence

Narrado por: Helen Duff

Nona Grey’s story reaches its shattering conclusion in the third instalment of Book of the Ancestor.

THEY CAME AGAINST HER AS A CHILD. NOW THEY FACE THE WOMAN.

The ice is advancing, the Corridor narrowing, and the empire is under siege from the Scithrowl in the east and the Durns in the west. Everywhere, the emperor’s armies are in retreat.

Nona faces the final challenges that must be overcome if she is to become a full sister in the order of her choice. But it seems unlikely that Nona and her friends will have time to earn a nun’s habit before war is on their doorstep.

Even a warrior like Nona cannot hope to turn the tide of war.
The shiphearts offer strength that she might use to protect those she loves, but it’s a power that corrupts. A final battle is coming in which she will be torn between friends, unable to save them all. A battle in which her own demons will try to unmake her.

A battle in which hearts will be broken, lovers lost, thrones burned.

HOLY SISTER completes the Book of the Ancestor trilogy that began with RED SISTER and GREY SISTER. A ground-breaking series, it has established Mark Lawrence as one of the most exciting new voices in modern speculative fiction.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An excellent writer." (George R.R. Martin)

"Dark, passionate, tense, with a female hero anyone could relate to - I was utterly fascinated! This is no pretty, flowery tale, but one of vastly different people struggling to survive when a hostile government comes to power." (Number one New York Times best-selling author Tamora Pierce)

Nice Twist on an old format

I enjoyed the audio version. The storyline is solid, I understand some people complaining about the flashback but I thought they were done well and I didn’t have any concerns. Solid story would recommend

Quick conclusion but good

I think I am becoming jaded with fantasy as i have overindulged however Mr Lawrence's adventure has been a good tale to bring me hope in world building and original magics.

Holy sister is the culmination of the series and is a fitting ending. Even though I felt it could have been expanded upon as the world is so interesting. I see more books coming.

The characters develop well & their own lives are a good tangle making for decent surprises.

I would recommend this as a book and a series.

Same same - for audible listen at 1.25 speed

In this trilogy the story had more substance than his previous trilogies, but I missed the cheeky language, that made me love his previous books. Any way definitely worth a read 😊. Looking forward to Lawrence‘s next work 😋

Good ending

Very good ending to an wonderful, gory, thrilling and beatifull arc. Would recomend very much

A great finish

Thoroughly enjoyed this edge-of-the-seat finish to a very satisfying series. Great character and plot development. A few tears as well. Nona and the nuns of Sweet Mercy are a fantastic creation.

One of the best new fantasy series

Really impressed with the writing and the story Mark Lawrence has produced. Each book has a proper ending, and the last book is no different. It has left me satisfied with all ends tied up.
The narrater Helen Duff was perfect as always.
I'm looking forward to exploring his other book series.

Jumping from past to present is annoying!!

seriously, if this happens in the second or first book, I would not have bought the third. jumping back and forth is confusing and annoying to me. I didn't like it. at all.
