Book description
I've just finished listening to Half Lost, the third and final instalment of Sally Green's Half Bad trilogy, and I'm still buzzing. From the very first note the narrator's voice cuts straight to the heart of the action-Nathan Byrn, a seventeen-year-old witch with a growing tally of kills, spirals toward madness while the Alliance teeters on the edge of collapse.
What I love most is how Green lets the war feel personal. Nathan's struggle isn't just about battling the Council of White Witches; it's also his fight to avenge Annalise, the girl he once loved before she committed an unthinkable crime. That back-story is threaded through every chant and clash, and the audiobook's pacing keeps you glued. You can almost feel the chill of the Council's oppressive magic and the heat of Nathan's desperation in every line.
The amulet guarded by Ledger-the most powerful witch in the story-adds a layer of intrigue that feels almost mythic. It's the last beacon of hope for Nathan and the Alliance, yet it's also a dangerous bargaining chip. Green balances the stakes with the quieter moments of vision-Nathan's haunting images of a golden death and an endless line of Hunters-making the narrative feel like a full-bodied symphony of conflict and destiny.
Gabriel, Nathan's closest companion, offers a compelling counterpoint. His quiet desire to flee together provides a gentle, emotional counterbalance to the raging war. Even when the book reaches its climax, the dialogue remains intimate, giving the story depth that often gets lost in high-stakes fantasy.
And the final battle? It's a roaring crescendo, with every magic spell and strategic move delivered with palpable tension. The audiobook's narration pulls you through each twist, each revelation, until the last line lands on the page.
In short, Half Lost is a satisfying, emotionally charged conclusion to a series that never stopped surprising me. The audiobook's delivery amplifies the intensity of the narrative, making the final showdown feel as close as your own heartbeat. If you're after a story that blends magic, war, and the fragile edges of love, this is the one to add to your queue.
