Brilliant conclusion to a fantastic triology

Great narrator and a fitting finish to a wonderful, exciting, thought-provoking series.

Suprised it hasn't been made a tv series yet!

Thought Provoking

Given that this was written for young adults I found it thoroughly engaging and I am by no means young. Nicholson builds his own world and using the time honoured device of salvatorial adventure examines how to address the problem of destructive behaviour. He also examines character development and close relationships between siblings. He gave me plenty of food for thought and hours of pleasure.

One of my all-time favourites

A beautiful story, beautifully performed. I always get emotional and I'll still be listening in twenty years time

excellent performance sadly story is weaker.

This is the end of the trilogy and you can feel it lagging. it picks up pace towards the end and apart from a weird sibling fight I'm all for it. the audio is preformed wonderfully but he is let down by a not so excited story.
