4.5 starsAbout a year ago, the words assassin nuns first started showing up around the blogosphere. Pretty soon they were everywhere, and everyone was talking about Grave Mercy, some obviously thrilled and some not so much. Seeing as I neatly fell into the first category, Dark Triumph became one of those books I often thought about dreamed about, to be completely honest. And I was not disappointed.The darkness of Ismaes story pales in comparison to the utter hopelessness of SybellasFEELS. I have so many feels,i will burst! This book was so good. I haven't read a book that good in a while. Sybella was such a complicated character. Everything she's been through was horrifying and the fact that somehow in the end she got over them and moved on, its a sign of hope. She's so strong and kind and good and badass and a proper assassin. I LOVE HER!! The Beast, OMG, he's the personalisation of goodness. He's so full of life,bravery,kindness, that he radiates that, he doesn't have to
Rating: 3.5 StarsWhere Grave Mercy was a lie, a novel about dancing and political parties deftly wrapped up with a bow-tie of kick-ass assassin-nuns that never assassinated, Dark Triumph is more of the dark, bad-ass story I was looking for with LaFevers's debut last year. Nevertheless, while Grave Mercy was a sore disappointment, I am glad to admit that Dark Triumph completely won me over. It seems to be the case this year that series I swore off of last year have come back to haunt me, making
This is even better than the first one, I was a bit skeptical about this, that was why it took me this long to read this. This one focuses on Sybella's story, the politics and war was less in this, the book is 50% Sybella's life, 50% the other stuff. The romance also is cool, it wasn't forced or rushed but happened at a good pace. This book took place after the final battle in Grave Mercy.The world building and writing is esqusite, I can see an improvment between this and the first book,
Now this is the book Grave Mercy was supposed to be. I was on the fence about Ismaes story, basically when I discovered (along with everyone else) that the assassin nuns werent so much espionage, murder, and mayhem as much as forbidden romance and courtesan intrigue, but I ultimately came down on the pro side because the backdrop of Anne of Brittanys attempts to keep her duchy independent and out of French hands resonated with this admitted historical junkie. Still, I think its probably telling
This review can also be found at Carole's Random LifeI received an advance reader edition of this book from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt via Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review.5 Stars!I loved the first book in this series and to be honest I really didn't think the second one would be able to top it. But it did. This book was absolutely amazing. This was the kind of book that I hated to put down. This story grabbed me and made me feel for the characters. This type of novel is
I just want to marry this book.And Sybella. Love this girl! I seriously enjoyed reading this beauty - the story was amazing, the characters were captivating and complex and the action was phenomenal. I loved reading from Sybella's POV and it just made me like this trilogy even more. It's been a long time since I've loved a book this much. I've missed this gorgeous feeling. Also, MY ULTIMATE SHIP IS IN THIS BOOK! Asdfghjkl. Love them! And I just want them to be happy. They really deserve it. I've
