Story4.5 out of 5 stars 784
After the old gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrio. Now, power-hungry jarls carve out petty kingdoms, and monsters stalk the shadow-haunted woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame, and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people. All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos.

The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can't get enough. The dungeon gets more dangerous each day. But in a grinder designed to chew up and spit out crawlers by the millions, Carl and Princess Donut need to work harder than ever just to survive. They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose.

After winning two wars against the Nemovorti, Minalan plans an expedition to The Lost Valley of Anghysbel, in the far north of his realm. It's there, in the caldera of a supervolcano at the edge of the tundra, he suspects many of the answers he so desperately needs might be hidden. The only problem is that thanks to the anti-magical properties of the jevolar, his spells won’t work; he’ll be without magic for the first time since he came into his Talent.

Humiliated in the ruins of Imperial Ithos, with the Exile Splinter stolen from their grasp by the ancient sphinx Kanderon Crux, Havath's Duarchs have assembled an army that dwarfs the entire population of Skyhold. Led by their Great Powers, monsters and mages individually capable of leveling a city, they pose a threat that even Kanderon, one of the mightiest of Great Powers, and her equally monstrous allies might be unable to stop. As the Havathi forces push closer and closer to Skyhold, Hugh and his friends train relentlessly, hoping to make a difference in the oncoming siege.

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Publisher's Summary
Mage Alex Verus has gone from a Camden shopkeeper to one of the most powerful mages in Britain. Now his last and most dangerous battle lies before him.
Alex's girlfriend, the life mage Anne, has fallen fully under the control of the deadly djinn she made a bargain with, and it is preparing to create an army of mages subject to its every whim. Alex, the Council, and the Dark mage Richard Drakh agree to call a truce in their war, and plans are made for a joint attack. Alex knows that it's only a matter of time before Drakh and the Council turn on each other...and neither cares about keeping Anne alive. Can Alex figure out a way to stop Anne and to free her from possession before time runs out for the people he loves?

Thoughtful, intense, action-packed, I loved it
Risen was a fittingly thoughtful, emotionally intense and action-packed climax to the Alex Verus series. It exceeded my expectations with the battle scenes and particularly with how several difficult threads were wrapped up. I also appreciated all the nuances of Alex's situation on every level that were brought out and addressed.
Gildart Jackson's narration was outstanding as always, lending the right gravitas and emotional depth with clarity and good pacing.
I hope with the continuing fall in minimum real production cost, the proliferation of talent, and the growth of the streaming model, that one day the Alex Verus series gets made into an animated series on the level of the Netflix hit, Arcane. It would be absolutely glorious.

Riveting
Finished the whole thing in a single day, simply could not stop listening. It's now been 12 hours and I am still riding the high. Man, what a book. The saga of Alex Verus ends in a book-long high note. Plenty of action, plots, twists and scenes of Alex just generally being crafty as hell. Risen is a fitting farewell to an amazing series.
Gildart Jackson's was great as always. Plenty of emotional scenes brought to life by his performance.

Wow! The ending we've all been waiting for.
Difficult to review without spoilers! If like me you thought there were going to be thirteen books not twelve, adjust your mindset....this is a roller coaster of a final book.
Great narration by Gildart Jackson, who always brings the books to life.

Who needs films with books like this?
I never thought BJ’s writing could more intense, but this was a brilliant book and the reading of it was perfect. Every nail biting second. The combat descriptions with so much detail and emotion.
Recommend this book and I shall be coming back to it again very soon.

It was ok
I was really looking forward to this but I have to say it really dragged out in places and got a bit annoying. Even though it was action-packed it felt like everything was in slow motion. Nothing really new or exciting happened. Enough already, I kept thinking! But it ended nicely with the possibilities for future books to go on different tangents left open.

Extraordinary Conclusion to an Extraordinary Story
Benedict manages to bring the story to an exemplary conclusion with this masterpiece of urban fantasy. I can wholeheartedly recommend this as a listen. Gildart Jackon's narration was as always excellent, it's always bliss when a narration makes characters immediately identifiable by their voice. Just splendid.
