Synopsis

Seth Dickinson's epic fantasy series which began with the “literally breathtaking” (NPR) The Traitor Baru Cormorant, returns with the third audiobook, The Tyrant Baru Cormorant.

The hunt is over. After fifteen years of lies and sacrifice, Baru Cormorant has the power to destroy the Imperial Republic of Falcrest that she pretends to serve. The secret society called the Cancrioth is real, and Baru is among them.

But the Cancrioth's weapon cannot distinguish the guilty from the innocent. If it escapes quarantine, the ancient hemorrhagic plague called the Kettling will kill hundreds of millions...not just in Falcrest, but all across the world. History will end in a black bloodstain.

Is that justice? Is this really what Tain Hu hoped for when she sacrificed herself?

Baru's enemies close in from all sides. Baru's own mind teeters on the edge of madness or shattering revelation. Now she must choose between genocidal revenge and a far more difficult path—a conspiracy of judges, kings, spies and immortals, puppeteering the world's riches and two great wars in a gambit for the ultimate prize.

If Baru had absolute power over the Imperial Republic, she could force Falcrest to abandon its colonies and make right its crimes.

After the first two books in the Masquerade, the third would have to pull off a miracle to outdo what has already been done. I mean, seriously, I've never read a more grimdark tale of friendship and betrayal in the name of a cause. The second one already blew my mind with a certain bloody scene, so I......more

Goodreads review by Christopher on August 27, 2020

I genuinely don't know how this book/series/author can exist. I legitimately have no idea how Seth Dickinson wrote this. There are so many different threads he has to maintain and weave together--not just plot threads, but character, culture, commerce, geography, history, weather, disease, etc. And so......more

Goodreads review by Mike on August 03, 2020

I have a lot to say about this book. TLDR: it was great. Now for the long version. I read *Monster* immediately before reading *Tyrant*. *Monster* had been lurking on Mt. Readmore since it came out, and getting an ARC of *Tyrant* finally pushed it to the top of the queue, for obvious reasons. So I bas......more

3.5 stars I loved this political fantasy series but I will admit that I didn't love this third book as much as the first two. However I loved how this one ended and am very excited to see how it ends in the final book.......more

Goodreads review by Johan on September 06, 2020

I'm tired now. What bogs this book down are the endless discussions between various people about how their loyalties are not the ones they think they are, how their motives are not those they think they are, why their goals, hopes, and dreams, are not what they think their are, the endless turn after......more
