Mia Corvier is a daughter of traitor who is hell bent on revenge against the people who is responsible for her father’s execution. Nonetheless it was quite an adventurous read and totally worth my time. I had two issues with the book but mostly with it’s unique writing style. It was a great read but it wasn’t a total perfection either because this book does have some flaws. Basically, I love reading books with female assassins and after reading the intriguing synopsis of Nevernight, I knew I had to devour this book ASAP. This is my first series from Jay Kristoff and I can’t say how much I enjoyed reading this masterpiece. It’s a adult fantasy read with some mature themes intended for mature readers. The main protagonist is a 16 year old girl but this book is definitely not for Young readers. Storywise this book is absolutely amazing and beyond my expectations. Will she even survive to initiation, let alone have her revenge? But a killer is loose within the Church’s halls, the bloody secrets of Mia’s past return to haunt her, and a plot to bring down the entire congregation is unfolding in the shadows she so loves. If she bests her fellow students in contests of steel, poison and the subtle arts, she’ll be inducted among the Blades of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the vengeance she desires. Now, Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic-the Red Church.

But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades. SUMMARY: In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family.ĭaughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life.
