I was provided an ALC of this book via Netgalley, all opinions are my own. Nicola Barber has done a wonderful job narrating the series!

This is the 3rd Moonfall series, and I have been hooked since book 1. This is not the end of the series, I'm not sure if the book with end with 4 or 5 books in total, I've seen indications of both since the beginning of the series. This series has a ton of characters and bounces around alot from perspective to perspective, so it isn't going to be for everyone as there is alot of information to keep track of. The audio books are on the long side 22-25ish hours, so you need to be invested in the characters and their journey. I have found the pacing to be good and the world building to be engrossing. There are several genres represented in the books and series over all, we have court politics, as well as some cool science fiction elements, a bit of magic, action, adventure, and so much more. I'm anxious to see where our group heads in the next book.

As moonfall approaches, Nyx, her friends, and her ever present bat companion Bashaliia must race across the lands where the sun never sets to find the secrets to getting the earth turning again and preventing the apocalypse. On their journey they find only more secrets and more danger as the world on the sun filled side of the earth has learned to adapt and hide from the blazing heat, just as it did on the cold side. Nyx must continue to work on her understanding and control of her bridle song as it will be a key component to saving or destroying the world. While Nyx and her crew are braving the desert and fighting new monsters, elsewhere Kanthe is fighting a different kind of fight. He is dealing with political scheming and working with his new bride to gain allies where they can and uncover plots against them.

This does end with a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. The stakes are pretty high toward the end and I know readers who are invested are going to want to know what happens sooner rather than later. Each of our characters has a goal and a purpose and the author does a good job keeping the reader invested in that plotline before you can forget about them and what they are doing. I'm very anxious to see how our characters proceed with preventing moonfall and navigate all of the various other obstacles that are thrown their way in book 4.

Quick word of warning, don’t start this series with this book. Each volume builds on the ones before it. So this is a series you really need to read from the beginning. As long as you do you are in for a heck of an adventure. In this third book of the Moonfall series (still one more to go) Rollins ratchets up the intensity, upping the stakes for Nyx and her friends. To match the rising stakes/obstacles the tone in this volume is also darker. This is the ‘Empire Strikes Back’ of the Moonfall series so to speak, and I’m looking forward to seeing how Rollins wraps it all up. Nicola Barber is back as narrator and she delivers an excellent performance once again. I’ll definitely be doing a re-listen through of all three volumes before the release of the final book.
