The Fall of Babel

De: Josiah Bancroft

Narrado por: John Banks

The incredible final book in the phenomenon fantasy series described as “future classics" follows one man's dangerous journey through a labyrinthine world and the mysteries he uncovers along the way (Los Angeles Times).

As Marat's siege engine bores through the Tower, erupting inside ringdoms and leaving chaos in its wake, Senlin can do nothing but observe the mayhem from inside the belly of the beast. Caught in a charade, Senlin desperately tries to sabotage the rampaging Hod King, even as Marat's objective grows increasingly clear. The leader of the zealots is bound for the Sphinx's lair and the unimaginable power it contains.

In the city under glass at the Tower's summit, Adam discovers a utopia where everyone inexplicably knows the details of his past. As Adam unravels the mystery of his fame, he soon discovers the crowning ringdom conceals a much darker secret.

Aboard the State of Art, Edith and her crew adjust to the reality that Voleta has awoken from death changed. She seems to share more in common with the Red Hand now than her former self. While Edith wars for the soul of the young woman, a greater crisis looms: They will have to face Marat on unequal footing and with Senlin caught in the crossfire.

And when the Bridge of Babel is finally opened, and the Brick Layer's true ambition revealed, neither they nor the Tower will ever be the same again.

A fantastic ending from a marvelous wordsmith

I don't usually read books in this genre, favoring more medieval-flavored stories. The whimsy in this series is just plain fun, the narrator wonderful, and the plain truth is that the quality of the prose is peerless in the fiction fantasy realm. I loved all of them. Well done, Mr. Bancroft.

The character development was phenomenal!!

Overall and amazing story of twists and turns. You can really get sucked into the story almost like the tower itself. The reason I give 5 stars is because it’s all around an amazing story and so well told the only thing I don’t like is how Maria is in the end.

Good book

I was going to write a long review but will settle at just a couple sentences. First off the rating I gave was for the series not necessarily this this book as I would give it a little higher as again I think each book has been better than the last. That being said while everything was good about this series it was not as gripping as many others I have listened to taking me much longer to finish than usually, which I do think in this case is indicative of something about the series as it was not due to a lack of time throughout. Either way was good and looking forward to seeing we’re it goes next. Just want a bit more of that X factor to keep me neeeding more. Good book.

Fourth is the best

This was the best of the four. They are all good but Bancroft lets a little loose w the humor nd it is great.

BEEN WAITING FOREVER

This series is the absolute best and I’m stoked to read it right now! Woo

An ending to a pretty good story

I liked all of the characters in this series, except Tom. That’s not to say he was poorly written, I just didn’t care for him or his personality. Edith remained my favorite character. I’m giving the book 5 stars because at least he finished the story. I didn’t have a preference for how it ended, as long as I got an ending. And be fair, the ending good if not partially predictable.

Literally cannot recommend this series high enough

This is one of those audiobook series that makes me want to go back and give other books I've rated 5 stars lower ratings. So good in every way

Truly Great Series

This is legitimately one of the best series I have ever experienced. the story was amazing and unexpected. coupled with a tremendous performance by John Banks makes this an absolute favorite.

Fantastic conclusion.

Well done. I was really very worried after reading the first in n the series. I'm am happy to discover that the finally is a satisfying and delicious read. This series is masterpiece.

Phenomenal writing

The end of the four part series showcases Josiah Bancroft’s mastery of world building, character creation, and prose. I’ve never before read a series like this. I couldn’t stop listening, ended up staying awake until 5am to finish the ending.

I hope that Bancroft continues to expand this world to answer some of the questions left behind.
