I kept on bargaining with myself about it.īut my gut-fucking-instinct knew that this story wasn’t improving. That my reluctance to pick up this book would dissipate. That everything I loved about Nevernight would appear. I feel like I’ve gone through all the stages of grief here.Īs I was reading this book, I was in denial that this book was actually boring me. I haven’t fully comprehended nor accepted my heartbreak yet. YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat going to go out on a limb here and say that a disappointing book is as bad as heartbreak. Simply stunning - the narration was absolutely engaging and the tone was perfect. and this: That's the power of words twenty six little letter can paint a whole universe. One more thing, I love Kristoff's take on books - there's this: The heavens grant us only one life, but through books, we live a thousand. The lengths she is willing to go - nothing short of truly stunning.Īlso, after going through so many YA novels over the years, can I mention HOW much of a RELIEF it is when you hear the characters swear. Mia is such a crazy bada** that I am seriously just blown away by her. The plot this time around (the gladiators) was really well done, though (and this could just be me) but the ending did feel a tad bit predictable.but I was having SO much fun getting there that I hardly minded. I am absolutely in love with how fully fleshed out this world is - all of the little tidbits and notes about their ceremonies or other aspects of their country really brings it to life. In short - my heart can't take this and my head is overwhelmed. I just can't, the stress! Oh the stress! * breath, just breath.*

If Vengeance has a mother, her name is Patience.Ohhh my gosh. Patience, she’d tell herself, whispering the word like a prayer. Iron in her heart.But anyone can betray her, the rivals are fierce and if she is exposed, everyone she knows will die.īut, that is a risk she is willing to take. If she becomes the head gladiator of a collegium then she will be in the same arena, on the same sands, as both her targets. The Grand Games, a result of the gladiatorial collegium, are set to happen in Godsgrave this year and both Scaeva and Duomo are to make an appearance in person.Īnd so, after making excuses to the Red Church (the guild of assassins), Mia does the only logical action, she sells herself into slavery and takes over a collegium. Consul Scaeva and Cardinal Duomo are responsible for her family's ruin and she will do whatever's necessary to murder them. Thus, the greatest monsters get their way, she realized.

Mia Corvere, once a wealthy heiress, now a ruthless assassin, has received her first assignment.īut her heart is not in her work - she only wishes to extract revenge on those who killed her family.
