Endsinger
Endsinger: The Lotus War Book Three | Jay Kristoff
With Stormdancer, Jay Kristoff came roaring onto the fantasy scene-he has been praised as "the master of unique and intense plots and huge twists" (USAToday.com), while critics raved about the novel, calling it "[A] fast-paced, fantastical adventure [that] is sharp as a Shogun's sword." (The LA Times). And with healthy sales in hardcover and electronic-fueled by Jay's inventive, enthusiastic, and relentless promotion on his website, Facebook, Twitter, and the blogosphere-we know readers are hungry for the finale to his wildly inventive Lotus War saga.As civil war sweeps across the Shima Imperium, the Lotus Guild unleashes their deadliest creation-a mechanical goliath, intended to unite the shattered Empire under a yoke of fear. Yukiko and Buruu are forced to take leadership of the rebellion, gathering new allies and old friends. But the ghosts of Buruu's past stand between them and the army they need, and Kin's betrayal has destroyed all trust among their allies. When a new foe joins the war, it will be all the pair can do to muster the strength to fight, let alone win. And as the earth splits asunder, as armies destroy each other for rule over an empire of lifeless ash and the final secret about blood lotus is revealed, the people of Shima will learn one last, horrifying truth. An exciting, vivid conclusion to a critically acclaimed series, Endsinger is sure to have fans racing through the pages to savor every last revelation.

By anyone else's standard as a conclusion to a first series this would be pretty good but you can definitely see the growth of Kristoff as a writer when compared to his later series The Nevernight Chronicles (one of my favourite series in the last few years). A good conclusion to the trilogy but I did find myself wishing it would get a move on, not a sensation I'm used to with Kristoff. Still a pick and worth reading, glad I finished the series.

I have mixed feelings about The Lotus Wars series. It just didn't grab me. I found myself skimming over parts of it, just so I could finish. I can't pinpoint why. There was plenty of action, interesting characters and plot, but I just couldn't get into it.

I went into the series after having read Nevernight which I absolutely loved & so I had certain expectations that weren't met

It may just be that it wasnt the right series for me right now

Tera66 Too bad, its a great cover 3y
LazyOwl @Tera66 I agree, the cover is pretty 3y

This trilogy had me completely immersed in this #steampunk world. I want my own griffon to fly on!

BiblioNyan I remember trying out the first book but in the end I couldn't finish it because of how terrible the cultural appropriation was. But the premise is definitely fascinating! 7y
speljamr I get it. If this was an historical fiction piece I'd be more concerned with the cultural appropriation, but it's not. This is a fantasy setting, so I'm OK with things being different than real life. 7y
