Inhalt: Die Großen Spiele enden mit dem kühnsten Mord in der Geschichte der itreyanischen Republik - nur leider erwischt es den falschen. Der Konsul Julius Scaeva überlebt das Attentat, und seine Macht im Staat ist nun beinahe grenzenlos. Genauso wie sein Hass auf Mia Corvere.

Gejagt von den Assassinen der Roten Kirche und den Soldaten der itreyanischen Republik bricht Mia zu ihrer letzten großen Reise auf, um das Geheimnis ihrer Herkunft zu lüften und herauszufinden, wie sie Scaeva besiegen kann. Doch sie muss sich beeilen, denn das nächste Wahrdunkel naht, und Nacht fällt über die Republik.

Meine Bewertung: Ich liebe diese Bücher einfach so sehr!!!

Ich werde nicht wirklich ins Detail gehen, es ist das dritte und letzte Buch in einer Serie, ich werde hier nicht einen Spoiler nach dem anderen fallen lassen.

Ich möchte mehr oder weniger einfach über die ganze Serie reden und wie sehr ich sie liebe. Seit ich das erste mal von den Büchern gehört habe, wurde ein riesiger Hype um die Serie gemacht, was mich immer abgeschreckt hat, bis ich es nicht mehr ausgehalten habe und einfach mit der Reihe selbst anfangen musste um mir mein eigenes Bild davon zu machen.

Die Story an sich hat mich von Anfang an total interessiert und begeistert. Ich liebe eine richtig gute Geschichte über Rache. Ich liebe Geschichten über Assassinen. Ich liebe großartige weibliche Hauptcharaktere. Und genau das habe ich in dieser Reihe bekommen. WOW.

Mia gehört eindeutig zu meinen absoluten Lieblingscharakteren, deswegen war es wirklich schwer jetzt von ihr Abschied zu nehmen, wo die Bücherreihe vorbei ist. Ich will so viel mehr über sie lesen. Deswegen kann ich es auch garnicht abwarten, die Bücher wieder und wieder zu lesen.

Zu dem letzten Band direkt. Zwischenzeitlich habe ich gedacht das Buch geht absolut in die falsche Richtung, für mich persönlich und das was ich mir gewünscht hatte. Doch am Ende, ich bin einfach mehr als zufrieden.

Die Serie hat sich einen Platz ganz weit oben in der Liste meiner Lieblingsserien gesichert.

Truedark approaches. Night is falling on the Republic for perhaps the final time.

Can Mia survive in a world where even daylight must die?

My review: I just love these books so damn much!!!

I won't go into much detail, this is the third and last book in this series and I don't want to drop spoilers left and right.

I just want to talk about the series as a whole and how much I love it. Since I first heard about these books, there was always this big hype about it, that always scared me away until I couldn't handle it anymore and started this whole series myself to see for myself.

The story itself drew me in right from the start, it's just so intersting and exciting. I just love a really good story about revenge. I love stories about assassins. I love amazing female main characters. And that's exactly what I got in this series. WOW.

Mia is totally one of my favorite characters by now, that's why it was so hard to say goodbye to her, now that this series is over. I want to read so many more stories about her. That's why I can't wait to read these books over and over again.

About the last book itself. There were moments I thought the book was going in the wrong direction, for me personally and how I wanted things to end. But at the end of it, I was more than satisfied with how things ended.

This series really has a really high spot in my favorite series lists.

A ruthless young assassin's journey for revenge comes to a stunning end in the conclusion of this acclaimed epic fantasy trilogy.

The Republic of Itreya is in chaos. Mia Corvere has assassinated Cardinal Duomo and rumors of Consul Scaeva’s death ripple through the street of Godsgrave like wildfire. But buried beneath those same streets, deep in the ancient city’s bones, lies a secret that will change the Republic forever.

Mia and her brother Jonnen must journey through the depths of the ancient metropolis. Their quest will take them through the Godsgrave underdark, across the Sea of Swords, back to the library of the Quiet Mountain and the poisoned blades of Mia’s old mentors, and at last the fabled Crown of the Moon. There, Mia will at last discover the origins of the darkin, and learn the destiny that lies in store for her and her world. But with the three suns now in descent, and Truedark on the horizon, will she survive?

Holy smokes, what a crazy wild, epic and emotional ride this book was.

I should mention if you have not read and finished book two, this review will spoil some stuff for you.

The book starts off pretty much where book two left us hanging and of course Mia is totally shocked but that doesn’t stop her and she jumps right into action to save and take Jonnen with her and the crew.

 Mia also gets some other nasty and some shocking surprises all the way through the book. But no matter what she stays true to herself and others she loves and cares for. When it comes down to it she really has a soft heart. It is hard to write a review to this stunning book, because there is so much and most of all I don’t want to spoil anything.

All I can say is that this book is breathtaking and will keep your heart rate going and maybe even will break your heart a bit, but if you liked the first two books you will love this one and how it all ends.

As a site note, I loved all the snarky remarks Kristoff left throughout the book about the writing style, it was hilarious and gave the series a nice touch.

I was curious how it all would end, I must say I was very satisfied and enjoyed the ending.  But I will miss not only the series but also the characters. Farewell my friends.

I give it a full 5 ★ for not only the book but the entire series.
