Having read the first two in the series, I was excited to see The Sorrow of the Sea! Excellent conclusion yet maybe leaving room for more?! Action, adventure...sorrow and tribulations. Fighting the Khans for freedom, love this period.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the advanced copy in return for an honest review.

The amazing conclusion to a story of war and magic on an international scale with a happy ending. I want more!

Mongol warriors led by the progeny of the great Genghis Khan, Persian rebels, networks of spies, mages that have their own conflicts and also interfere in human clashes, all this and more come together as history and fantasy cross paths in The Nightingale and the Falcon Trilogy. The Sorrow of the Sea winds up this trilogy in the action-packed story telling style of the prior two entries into this series. The book begins with a so far-summary that I always appreciate in fantasy series when I am not binging the entire set (but not enough that could replace reading the prior books). Then we return to the conflicts and trials faced by Temujin, Kokochin, Kaivon and their friends. We travel from battlefields in Persia to cities in what would be present-day Pakistan and Italy and meet characters whose names are familiar from history books. All the while, the tale of grand conquests and epic wars also remains that of this handful of persons that bring it to life. By the end, we get some sense of closure for the characters that we have come to know, but this is a wide world and history does go on...I'm sure that anyone who started this trilogy will be excited to read this ending and fans of historical fantasy that have not yet started the series will be excited at the opportunity at a completed trilogy to travel back in time with.
I received access to this eARC thru NetGalley (for which I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher, Angry Robot) for an honest review. The opinion expressed here is my own.
