It is the beginning of the end . . . The end of the axe-age, the sword-age, leading to the passing of gods and men from the universe. As all the ancient prophecies fall into place, the final battle rages, on Earth, across Faerie, and into the land of the dead. Jack Churchill, Champion of Existence, must lead the Brothers and Sisters of Dragons in a last, desperate assault on the Fortress of the Enemy, to confront the ultimate incarnation of destruction: the Burning Man. It is humanity's only chance to avert the coming extinction. At his back is an army of gods culled from the world's great mythologies - Greek, Norse, Chinese, Aztec, and more. But will even that be enough? Driven to the brink by betrayal, sacrifice and death, his allies fear Jack may instead bring about the very devastation he is trying to prevent . . .… (mere)

The third book of the third trilogy about the Brothers and Sisters of Dragons. A welcome return to this world and a fitting conclusion to this series.

Good and Evil; Gods and humans; armies and friendship - this book has it all. The interweaving of various mythologies works. The characters are real, deeply flawed people trying to do their best.

All I can say is if you like dark fantasy and mythology Mark Chadbourn's work is a real treat. Wonderful world building; rich, dark and thought provoking. Loved it. ( )

Where to start on drawing a conclusion to a nine part series... Destroyer of Worlds is the end of the Brother and Sister of Dragons series of books which started with the Dark Age, moved through to the Age of Misrule and ended with the Kingdom of Serpents. Three books in each giving the series as a whole a neat symbolic feel. The entire series has encompassed so much: myth and legend, symbolism and religion, and a whole lot more. Although a work of fiction there are avenues to explore to find out more about the underlying topics. It’s not just the story that impresses, but the author’s ability to keep everything together but also the strength of the characters. Though essentially flawed they are believable and likeable (on the whole!)
Destroyer of Worlds is a satisfying ending to the series. I struggled initially picking up the book, as with what’s gone before it was hard to remember the numerous plot threads but the more I read the more the story came back to me. I particularly liked as the book drew to a close, as the final stand-off began, the levity between the main characters came across as very natural, a defence to the impossibilities that lay in front of them.
Although sad the series has finished, this is a something worth reading again. Searching for hints and clues, researching the endless topics raised. Given its scope there’s enough information contained to keep me busy for years. ( )

Breath-taking, beguiling and very British, I can recommend Destroyer of Worlds and the entire trilogy of trilogies, as books which any serious reader of dark fantasy should have in their collections.
