Synopsis

"A god is nothing without a good story."

It has been six months since the fall of the great cities of Ancient Sumer. Six months since war and chaos scattered everyone to the wind.

Ereshkigal, the queen of the underworld, finds herself trapped in the rubble of her realm with only one thought: to rescue the man she loves.

In the realm of light, Harga and Marduk mount a hopeless resistance against the vast Akkadian forces, whilst Gilgamesh, once king of Uruk, travels to Egypt in search of a legend that could save them.

High above them all, in the kingdom of Heaven, a goddess with no memory lies imprisoned and helpless whilst a faint voice on the wind whispers a name . . . Inanna.

And, wandering between the realms, a lost and lonely spirit named Ninshubar desperately tries to find her lost mistress.

But as their search for one another begins to draw them closer, Tiamat, the many-headed dragon-queen of Heaven, is preparing for an assault on the realm of light that could crush all life on Earth.

Eindelijk klaar met de serie (en dat bedoel ik niet negatief, ik had gewoon de tijd willen hebben om het sneller uit te lezen). Ik vind het een heel leuke en goede serie. De schrijfstijl is goed en houdt je in de ban. Je krijgt een goed beeld van de Mesopotamische mythen. Een aanrader!......more

Ninshubar is the finale in the Sumerians trilogy and wow, this was my favourite out of the 3! It was so good to be back with these characters and I was torn between wanting to devour it and taking my time savouring it (I devoured it because I’m incapable of doing anything else) Sumerians is a vibrant......more

I am heartbroken that this book concludes the phenomenal Sumerian Trilogy. Well, on with the review. One step and then the next... Emily H. Wilson’s Ninshubar is a stunning, soul-deep finale to the Sumerians trilogy; a lyrical, gripping reimagining of The Epic of Gilgamesh. Six months after the fall......more
