Summary
The hotly anticipated epic and phenomenal West-African inspired finale to the New York Times best-selling fantasy Raybearer.
Earphones Award Winner
For the first time, an Empress Redemptor sits on Aritsar's throne. To appease the sinister spirits of the dead, Tarisai must now anoint a council of her own, coming into her full power as a Raybearer. She must then descend into the Underworld, a sacrifice to end all future atrocities.
Tarisai is determined to survive. Or at least, that's what she tells her increasingly distant circle of friends. Months into her shaky reign as empress, child spirits haunt her, demanding that she pay for past sins of the empire.
With the lives of her loved ones on the line, assassination attempts from unknown quarters, and a handsome new stranger she can't quite trust, Tarisai fears the pressure may consume her.
In this finale to the Raybearer duology, Tarisai must learn whether to die for justice...or to live for it.

A fitting end to the story
I really enjoyed this although I preferred the narrator for the first book - the American accent in this one didn’t appeal to me at first but it is a testament to the quality of the storytelling that I soon forgot! Thoroughly recommend these two books.

they changed the narrator
the story is gripping and beautiful, but the change in narrator is a little jarring. First couple of chapters were a struggle, but it got a lot better toward the middle. Worth a listen.

A fitting ending to the story
Another great story and brilliant ending to the series. It did take some time to get used to the change of narrator and some pronunciations but that’s just because I started this straight after the first one ended.
Spoilers below:
The book feels a bit slow while Tar is trying to assemble her council but after we get into the Crocodile subplot it’s much more interesting. It does get a while before we see the Underworld almost at the end and that goes past very quickly.

A worthy sequel!
Sequels rarely measure up to the original but this one did. The conclusion to Tarisai’s story. I wanted to finish this book just to see how it concludes, but I wanted to savour it. Draw out the ending as much as possible because I didn’t wanna part ways with this exciting story, and these beautiful characters. I loved every moment of it.

Great story! Narration however . . .
I would have really enjoyed it more if the same narrator as the first book read this. It missed the same charm and flow.

still fun/enjoyable but didn't live up to Raybearer
I loved Raybearer and found it very original and surprising. unfortunately I felt a bit disappointed by Redempyor. I feel the story was mostly predictable, we did get a bit more world building and side character development but I would have expected way more from a second book. As a result it l lacked a bit of depth. I almost think Raybearer would have been fine as a standalone without the whole redemptor storyline I have to say.

Great book, but dearly missed the old narrator!
I truly loved these books, but I really felt the loss of Weruche Opia in this one. I'm sure I wouldn't have felt it as much if Abbott-Pratt had narrated Raybearer, but the radical change of accent, dictation and pronunciations really left me wanting.

Thoroughly enjoyable sequel
This was an amazing sequel! I'm sad there aren't more book planned.
The only thing that I found a bit off to begin with was that the narrator was not the same as the first book. She still provided an excellent performance, it was just a little jarring at first. I will definitely relisten/reread this book again (probably in the near future).
