The final volume in the bestselling Library Trilogy, following THE BOOK THAT WOULDN'T BURN and THE BOOK THAT BROKE THE WORLD.

The secret war that defines the Library has chosen its champions and set them on the board

The fate of an infinite library hangs on one book, a book that holds the power to break the unbreakable. In the face of such forces, fragile things like hearts, family, and the world seem certain to fail.

The people most vital to Livira are scattered across time and space, lost, divided into factions, in mortal peril. Somehow, she must bring them together and resolve the unresolvable argument that fuels the library’s war. The bond between Livira and Evar has stretched and stretched again. Can it hold at the end, when things fall apart? Can it bring them together against impossible odds? This is the last chapter, the final page. The end threatens and no one, not characters, readers, or even the author, will emerge unscathed.

The ending to the library trilogy lives up to the promise of the concept, which is sometimes not the case with good iideas.
Glad to say, this one does.
All three books are top notch and I'll be reading them again someday.

A perfect ending

Great conclusion to the story although it left me sobbing... I can tell this series will linger in my mind for years to come as any good, thought provoking book should. The premise is quite complex so I wondered where could the story go but I was not disappointed despite my inevitable tears. Also the integration of reality into a fantasy setting was surprising and felt like a risky move but Mark made it work!

A great conclusion to a long complex journey

As usual with his books I cared so much about the characters in the series I didn’t want it to end, but as usual he sticks the landing so well, I was happy how it did. Hack! Hack! 😘

Astounding and beautiful, again.

I have read a lot of fantasy and this did not fit into any of the usual tropes. Entertaining and thought provoking in equal measure, with Mark Lawrence’s fantastic writing style.
As I have come to expect from Mark Lawrence the characters have depth. Characters I wanted to spend time with, hear their story and care about the outcome.
Would definitely recommend.
