Holy Sister (Hardcover)


Nona Grey's story reaches its shattering conclusion in the third instalment of Book of the Ancestor. THEY CAME AGAINST HER AS A CHILD. NOW THEY FACE THE WOMAN. The ice is advancing, the Corridor narrowing, and the empire is under siege from the Scithrowl in the east and the Durns in the west. Everywhere, the emperor's armies are in retreat. Nona faces the final challenges that must be overcome if she is to become a full sister in the order of her choice. But it seems unlikely that Nona and her friends will have time to earn a nun's habit before war is on their doorstep. Even a warrior like Nona cannot hope to turn the tide of war. The shiphearts offer strength that she might use to protect those she loves, but it's a power that corrupts. A final battle is coming in which she will be torn between friends, unable to save them all. A battle in which her own demons will try to unmake her. A battle in which hearts will be broken, lovers lost, thrones burned. HOLY SISTER completes the Book of the Ancestor trilogy that began with RED SISTER and GREY SISTER. A ground-breaking series, it has established Mark Lawrence as one of the most exciting new voices in modern speculative fiction.

The 3rd book in the book of the ancestor. Orbiting a dying star is a world slowly being consumed by ice, as the ice closes in the inhabitants are being squeezed together, and war for control over what's left is well on the way. There is only one hope, to gain control over an advanced long-lost technology called the moon with which control over the ice’s advance can be halted or reversed but what can be the salvation of all can also be the death of all. The world Mark Lawrence has crafted is a masterpiece and certainly stands up alongside other well crafter fantasy worlds in books like Game of Thrones and the Wheel of Time. The characters are all very complex and have their own unique and compelling backstories, these backstories not only form the choices their characters make, but their history is also built into the book's main narrative and has a significant impact on the twists and turns that all good stories have. This book is a gem of the fantasy genre, and even if you haven't read the other books in the series this one will undoubtedly leave you wanting to, it did me. Alex Breakaway reviewers were supplied a copy for review.
