Nevernight

"Wow…what a ride! "

"DNF 20%. I tried but it took forever to go only 20%. I’d rather follow Arya Stark"

"The writing was very detailed and dramatic, but in a good way. It read like the narrator in an onstage play was speaking to the audience. I very much enjoyed the book, but for some reason wasn’t able to bring myself to read the complete series. Still very good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I think I was left with more questions than answers and well, that’s what the first book in a “quadrilogy” does right? (I don’t think that’s a word.. update: it’s called a quartet!) However, I can’t say that I wasn’t glued to Mia from the very first page. Who wouldn’t want to see what the amount of rage a 10 year old can harbor and manipulate when her entire family is wasted away. What vengeance filled leaps can she make when that same rage gives her dark shadow powers? We meet Mia at her father’s death, her mother’s demise, and almost her own watery grave. But she’s got more up her sleeve than tears and temper tantrums. She’s got gravebone, the not-cat and and nothing but rock bottom to brace herself. Six years later, she’s ruthless, deadly and set on a course for vengeance that, as all great stories tell, ends up being so much more than what you see. Mia came to the Red Church for the access, and stayed for answers to questions she didn’t even know she had. Love is always a Tric of the shadows… and Ash is only the result of a strong fire… but can only burn so long. Who’s Cleo?? Where’s Mercurio? Happy reading… "

"Eh"

"Jay Kristoff gives his female protagonist- a minor, by the way- a magical boob job in this book. There’s no reason for it. There’s also been issues of racism, antisemitism, and harmful uses of Māori culture brought up in this book. There’s plenty of reviews that go into further detail about this and YouTube videos"

"I was down on my luck with books, tired of the unoriginal tropes, in the mood for escape and release. I tried reading this story once before but was not in the right mind to keep up with it all. What I thought was unappealing side stories began weaving a rich tapestry into the world. With the help of self notes the multitude of characters gave the story new life. Cunning and suprises I haven't seen since I read Red Rising by Peirce Brown.<br/><br/>I'm so pleased I picked this up again. I very much enjoyed the main protagonist. She had a bad mouth and was unpredictable my favorite kind. The humor, famila, blood, love, lust, sword play all swirled together to make a fun rich story I will be rereading for years to come.<br/><br/>The story starts with a man telling Mia's story so throughout the book he is speaking to the reader which made the book even more badass. Some of the sentences just spoke to me and I began to nod along or growl in anger. This became another of those stories that I will be badgering everyone I know and don't to read it. That means you!<br/><br/>When all is blood, blood is all."

"I made it just under halfway through the book when it began to sound more & more like Arya Starks story. They changed character names but, there's not much originality in the book. "

"Originally I was going to rate the book 3.5 stars but the ending was so great I just had to bump it up! The imagery in Nevernight is so clear and startling, and the contrast between the two points of view at the beginning is beautiful. However, the middle of this book was a struggle to get through for me. I’m glad I pushed through because the ending was fast paced, had lots of good twists, and I enjoyed the cliffhanger."

"This book had me at the first sentence. Gosh okay so the first chapter is a bit confusing but this book takes you and tosses you through a roller coaster. The twists, the turns, my gosh i cannot tell you enough, if you like dark fantasy read nevernight!!#fantasy #assassin #dark_fantasy "
