The only reason im not rating this higher is due to a fault of my own, not the books.

with such a large cast of characters, everyone is bound to have their own favourites, and so its nice to know that regardless of which character a reader connected with, they will be happy with how everything ends. and even though the plot progresses and ends in a way that makes sense, i think most readers will find enjoyment with how the characters’ arcs are concluded. This series as a whole is very character driven, which is to be expected for a story that follows on a ‘chosen ones’ trope. This is the kind of finale that does right by the characters, which is all i wanted. The Age of Darkness trilogy is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Children of Blood and Bone, and An Ember in the Ashes. But the cost of keeping that secret might be their lives-and the lives of everyone in the Six Prophetic Cities. With time running out, the group’s tenuous alliance is beset by mounting danger, tumultuous romance, and most of all by a secret that Anton is hiding: a way to destroy the god at the price of an unbearable sacrifice. Armed with the truth about how the original Prophets killed the god, Anton leads Jude, Hassan, and Ephyra on a desperate quest to the edge of the world.


Meanwhile, far away from Pallas Athos, Anton learns to harness his full powers as a Prophet. But every day, the god grows stronger, threatening to break free and sow untold destruction.

Both are at the mercy of the Prophet Pallas, who wields the god’s powers to subjugate the Six Prophetic Cities. Following the destruction of the City of Mercy, an ancient god has been resurrected and sealed inside Beru's body.
