    About this audiobook

    When a battle with death-dealing Skinners catapults Daine and her mentor, Numair, into the divine realms, the riddles of Daine’s past finally begin to reveal themselves. However, the pair must return to their beloved Tortall, for the kingdom is under attack and survival depends on Daine’s wild magic.

    A harrowing journey across the divine realms leads Daine and Numair through danger to dragons; to a breathtaking confrontation with their great enemy Ozorne; and finally brings Daine face to face with the Great Gods, who will force the girl to make the most important decision of her life.

    Filled with breathtaking peril, lightened by deft moments of comedy (wait till you meet the darkings!), The Realms of the Gods is a fitting conclusion to one of the great fantasy series of our time. An exclusive interview with Tamora Pierce about writing The Immortals Quartet concludes the recording.

      I've been loving finally reading Tamora Pierce's books, and I've enjoyed the Immortals series even more than The Song of the Lioness, especially the last two books. This one wasn't quite as thrilling as Emperor Mage (which had dinosaurs) but it was still very enjoyable and expanded the mythology of the Tortall universe in interesting ways.
    • 5/5
      the best of her books for me personally. i looooooove her writing!

      A good wrap up to the series and a fair amount more violent and sexy than I remembered, this is probably my least favorite of Pierce's books. I still liked it, but I don't have the same connection to the characters that I do with some of the other series and the age difference with Daine and Numair ends up playing just a little icky because she's still so young (I know 16 in a medieval/renaissance world isn't that young, but it still feels young to me) plus they had the student/teacher thing going for awhile, so just a leeetle bit icky. Not terrible, just enough to be slightly distracting. I feel like this was the last of Pierce's books where she's still working on finding the exact style that works for her. Listened to the Full Cast Audio recording; Full Cast continues to impress with consistently excellent and enjoyable recordings. Previously read a couple times at least.
    • 4/5
      A fitting finale to the series. War is raging and Daine and Saladin travel through the Realms of the Gods. Until this book I would have recommended the series to my 10 year old daughter, but after this one I think she maybe should wait a couple more years.
    • 4/5
      Daine and this series aren't my favorite among Pierce's characters or books. I think because I find the environmentalist themes unsympathetic and preachy. Pierce's imagination never flags though, and that does make all her books enjoyable and in this one I especially love how she gives another dimension to the Stormwings in this conclusion to the series, and the Darklings are adorable. And if Daine isn't my favorite Pierce heroine, well, I think Daine and Numair are my favorite Pierce couple, and Numair my favorite male Pierce character. Some I'm sure will decry the age difference (she's a teen and he's a 30-something), but I think they play well off each other, and I liked how their relationship grew over the four books, here finally building to romance.
    • 4/5
      Again, a lot of interesting scenes, and this one has a rich story to tell as well. However, it's a bit scattered, and again Daine is being pushed by others - though it's more her own choices this time, much less manipulation than in Emperor Mage. Good but not wonderful.
    • 3/5
      It's time for the final battle. Ozorne's back and he wants revenge. Daine and Numair are sucked into the Divine Realm at the worst possible time: right before Ozorne's forces strike Tortall. Will Daine and Numair be able to make it back in time to help King Jonathan drive off Ozorne and his Stormwing legion or will all of Tortall be destroyed in the upcoming battle?As for being the "final battle" of this quartet, The Realms of the Gods was a bit of a letdown. The book, like the other three, follows Daine and in this final volume, Daine spends about four-fifths of the book trying to get back to the mortal realm. That means four-fifths of the book is her and Numair walking. They come across a trap every now and then and you get little insights into the battle that's occurring in Tortall while they're trapped, but it's still a lot of walking. Not exactly what I expected to find in what should be the most powerful and intense book of the series. The final fight between Daine and Ozorne was exciting, but it took a lot of work to get there.I also didn't believe the romance between Daine and Numair. Age difference aside, there weren't any hints in the previous books (minus I think one statement where Numair called her pretty when she put on a dress) that their student-teacher relationship would progress further. For me, it felt kind of like she realized she hadn't paired Daine up with anyone and since she was trapped all alone with Numair, the two might as well be a couple. The Immortals Quartet was a bumpy ride. It started off strong, got weak, got strong, ended weak. I must say that I prefer the Song of the Lioness Quartet. The quality of the books was much more stable, the romance more believable, and the ending was insanely good. The Immortals, while strong as a whole, just didn't hold up to that quality of writing. Still, it's a good read and I do recommend it.3 stars!
    • 4/5
      Daine and Numair go up against a group of magical creatures of a kind they've never seen before and when it turns out that neither Daine's wild magic nor Numair's Gift can effect them, rescue comes from a surprising direction. But now they're stuck in another realm while war threatens Tortall.There are a lot of new and interesting characters introduced in this last book in the Immortals series, including various gods, dragons, and other immortals and magical creatures, and Daine's prejudices against Stormwings are tested. The realm of the gods itself is an intriguing place to read about, with different rules from the moral realm and wonders and dangers all its own. It's a fitting end to the series.
    • 2/5
      I love her books. The Immortals, though, was not my favorite series of hers.
    • 3/5
      This last installment isn't quite as good as the previous ones, but it is still very good.
