About this listen

The city of Voortyashtan was once the home of the goddess of death, war and destruction, but now it's little more than a ruin.

General Turyin Mulaghesh is called out of retirement and sent to this hellish place to find a Saypuri secret agent who's gone AWOL in the middle of a mission. But the ghosts of past wars have followed her there, and soon she begins to wonder what happened to the souls in the afterlife when the gods were defeated by her people, the Polis.

Do the dead sleep soundly in the land of death? Or do they have plans of their own?

A welcome return to the universe of 'City of Stairs', I really didn't want the book to end.

Good narration that was understandable at x2 playback speed.

Looking forward to the last book in the trilogy.

A worthy sequel.

I found the narrator was excellent.

New location, new plot, exploring other characters.
Same excitement, action with clever suspense and a philosophical question in its undercurrent.

Very enjoyable book but why isn't the final book available on audible? Seems strange to offer two books of a trilogy.

Loved city of stairs, just couldn't quite get into this one. Main character good but the plot maybe a bit slow!

Decent but bit slow
