“From across the fire, a grin spread over her face, combining delight and pure, raw power.
I could not deny the power of the chanting, the swirling red hair, my painting prophecy and the – holy crap – electric bubble around us.
This was real. Her power was real.”
Triumphant at last, Ember has fought her way back from the evil witch’s curse and reclaimed her identity, her sense of self. Now she must stop Xintra from hurting the boy she loves, even as she uncovers the truth behind her mother’s dark, twisted past.
Rejoicing in her power over the human race, Xintra is closer than ever to achieving her father’s dream – a dream she sacrificed her own life to realize. But when key members of her team defy her, she must scramble to enact her plan before obedience gives way to anarchy.
Breaking free from the chains that once bound her to a life of wickedness, Zoe must face the past she once sought to escape in order to save the futures of those she doomed. Will she make amends with the dead in time to save the living?

A teenager still lives inside author Jennifer Alsever. She spent two decades as a professional journalist, contributing to such publications as Fortune Magazine, the New York Times, Inc Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, before letting her imagination run wild in 2016. The result is Ember’s story told in the three-book Trinity Forest Series, her first published fiction work.
When not absorbed in writing, Alsever enjoys a good hike, doing some yoga, hanging with her boys, some moguls on skis, a rigorous mountain bike ride or indulging in the simple pleasures of life. Her favorites: untouched snow, frozen chocolate chips, savasina on a yoga mat and yes, bowls of pan fried brussels sprouts. Jennifer is working on her upcoming novel, Psychic Monkeys, to be released in 2019.

Narrator Bio

Moira Todd is a Washington, DC-based actor. She originally hales from Mt. Hood, Oregon where the trees are always green, the mountain is always pointy, and the weather is usually rainy. It was there that she learned the secret arts of alpine skiing and whistling at the same time as you hum. While neither has proved useful in her theatre career, she remains hopeful. These days she spends most of her free time swimming, baking bread, and watching whale documentaries.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Jennifer Alsever. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

This is the final showdown, the third book in the Trinity Forest trilogy, and it all ends here. One way or the other. Either Ember and her friends can stop the apocalypse, or Xintra wins.

I enjoyed the story playing out the final way. I liked that we got a lot more answers, and got to understand how Ember’s mom played into this.

I liked the narrator’s tone and voice, as in the previous two books, she was enjoyable to listen to and had great pacing.

My only complaint is too much was going on. There were too many POV switches in the book, and the voices for each were not distinct enough. I often struggled with knowing who was narrating that section when I came back to it from a break in listening.

I did enjoy that we had people waking from their, well essentially possession, and taking action to stop the big bad witch. Overall, a great series and a satisfying ending.

 

Read my review of Ember Burning (book 1) and Oshun Rising (book 2).

  1. Thank you so much! I am so happy you enjoyed the series. Would you mind posting these reviews on Amazon as well as Audible? For some reason, though Amazon owns Audible, they won’t show those Audible reviews to Amazon readers.
    Thank you! Jennifer
