Executive Summary: An enjoyable finish to the series that didn't quite live up to the promise of [b:Red Sister 25895524 Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor, #1) Mark Lawrence https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1481038440s/25895524.jpg 45777900] for me.Audiobook: Heather O'Neill once again does a good job with this. She does a few voices and adds that little extra something I've come to expect from a good audiobook.Full ReviewThis is now the second series by Mark Lawrence I've completed (the other being his Broken Empire trilogy) and I like this one far better. Nona and her friends are fantastic characters. The world building is excellent. I love the warrior monk trope so seeing a variation with a warrior nun is pretty cool.I've enjoyed all of the books in the series, but none of them as much as [b:Red Sister 25895524 Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor, #1) Mark Lawrence https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1481038440s/25895524.jpg 45777900]. This book was still quite enjoyable and I thought it was a good conclusion to the series, however I found it a bit slow at times and never quite sucked me in like the first book.Overall though I think this is a great series and really worth your time. I still think it has one of the greatest opening lines of any book/series I've ever read and this book did a nice job bringing you back to that opening line and beyond.
