Summary

It’s been almost a year since the Trials of Unyielding Steel.

When Lydia gets a lead on the whereabouts of Jonathan Sterling, she concludes her training with a legendary immortal sorcerer and puts a plan in motion for his capture.

Near Selyr, Taelien reunites with an old friend - Wrynn Jaden, the legendary Witch of a Thousand Shadows - and meets with Jonan to make a deal.

Jonan, of course, has other concerns. His master, the legendary Lady of Thieves herself, has given him a new assignment - one that hints at world-shaping events, if he can survive the mission. He’ll partner with Velas, but she has her own problems to deal with, including a revelation that will test where her loyalties truly lie.

A fitting end to an excellent trilogy

This series comes to a fantastic conclusion and runs straight into its sequel series at breakneck speed in this fantastic fantasy novel

Not a single moment is wasted in drawing the reader into the universe with interesting world building, and then dazzling them with excellently choreographed action sequences.

Every character drips with intrigue, and leaves you wanting to see more of them all the time. The multiple viewpoint characters provides insight from multiple angles of the narrative and leaves enough puzzle pieces for observant readers to pick up and follow the clues to their own conclusions

Not to mention the audio performance by Nick Pohdel is fantastic to boot. Fantastic value, and I can't recommend this series and it's sequels enough!

Excellent continuation

I had to listen to the first two books in the series again as it’s been a long time between 2 and 3 but it has been a excellent journey so far and I am really looking forward to book 4 (hopefully not as long) excellent character development and brilliant story

The story afther Defying Destiny

if you enjoyed The War of Broken Mirrors series by Andrew Rowe and want to learn about what happend afther i would recomend to read the following series: Weapons and Wielders, and the series Arcane Ascension

The weapons and Wielders serie follows Taelien at the location where he comes to at the end of this book (I will not spoil any of the story), The first book in this series is named Six sacred swords, there is also a book two of this series but it havent been released yet (Or atleast not in audiobook form like this one was) The name of this book is Diamantine and will be releasd on the 07.07.2020.

the Arcane Ascension books followeds some other persons that we havent met yet in The War of Broken Mirrors book series, Taelien do apears in these books to, in book 1 it only brifely but in book 2 he got more of an impact. but it do not make it clear how many years have gone past between the books Six sacred sword, and book 1 in The arcane Ascension books.

i would higely recomed to read these books if you did enjoy The War of Broken Mirrors books

Addicted to Rowe's tales

I've not found another author for the style, who's works I like more than Andrew Rowe's. Nick Podehl brings the win again.
