5 Stars (And I'm being stingy with these this year, so this is a big deal, gentle friends.)I originally marked this as 4+ stars.But after further consideration of the following:1) I read this book in ONE sitting because I was so spellbound. And, 2) I re-read my review for book one and realized that ALL the things I said I couldn't stand about book one, I adored about book two...I decided to say, fuck it, 5 stars for everyone, folks. And because good on you, Sir Kristoff. He really is a creative

I applaud The Droogs who finished Godsgrave before or around its publication date, thank you for your sacrifice; may the Lady of Blessed Murder bless your patience. “That's the power of words; twenty six little letter can paint a whole universe” Godsgrave is the sequel to Nevernight. The story still follows our beloved ruthless assassin, Mia Corvere, as she continues her journey for vengeance. Godsgrave didn’t start off easy for me to get into. Nevernight was a revenge story with a ba...

Obviously. Review to come on my channel :)

my new review after my 4th reread:godsgrave starts almost a year after nevernight, with mia setting her plan to avenge her familia in motion. but there is quite a significant gap of information between the last scene in nevernight and the first scene in godsgrave, with mia in the desert. so, to bridge that gap, the first third of the story is told in alternating timelines, which adds to the main plotline in a frankly genius way. the information is revealed gradually, and kept me on the edge of m...

1.) Nevernight ★★★★★ “The heavens grant us only one life, but through books, we live a thousand.” Well, I’m not entirely sure how I’m supposed to function while lying in wait for the third and final book in this series. That last chapter made me feel things that very few books are able to evoke from me. I honestly am not sure how I could possibly string together words to let you guys know how much I loved this book, but I do suppose I should at least try. Godsgrave picks up right after...

the characters the witty dialogues the fight scenes the parallels that mindfuck plot twist at the end.... poetic cinema

”Conquer your fear, and you can conquer the world.”I’m the first one to admit that this book was not what I expected it to be. I mean after the “school for assassins setting” in the first book I thought this series might continue in that vein. Little did I know Jay Kristoff had completely different plans that would exceed all of my expectations. And what kind of glorious plans they actually turned out to be. Glorious, indeed. Sanguis et gloria to be exact! Yes, my gentlefriends this is latin and...

Please excuse my colourful language.....But to quote our dear little Mia:What the "shit cock twat fucking fuckitall", man!?Mister Kristoff, you are a cruel, brilliant man.Review copy provided by author in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 starsLast year, NEVERNIGHT, the first book in Jay Kristoff's NEVERNIGHT CHRONICLE, was at the top of my Best Books of 2016 list. The writing was brilliant, the story and characters compelling, the world-building was fantastic . . . I was smitten. So I was understandably excited about its sequel GODSGRAVE. *sighs*BUT.The story was still compelling, just not as compelling, the writing was likewise not as brilliant, and the old characters manifested new flaws while several of the new characters...

You can keep the glory. I'm just here for the blood. I'm so motherf*cking dead right now.Mia Corvere, once a wealthy heiress, now a ruthless assassin, has received her first assignment. But her heart is not in her work - she only wishes to extract revenge on those who killed her family. Thus, the greatest monsters get their way, she realized. By looking just like the rest of us. Consul Scaeva and Cardinal Duomo are responsible for her family's ruin and she will do whatever's nece

As I said with the first book, deleted my big review, changed my star rating and unhauling books! And I’m fine being in the minority! 😉Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾

i need new letters to create new words, because there are not enough in all the languages combined that can describe how i feel about this book and series. i never thought i would love something that is so ruthless, so unapologetic, and so downright disturbing. but yet, here i am, giving it all the stars in the world. please send psychological help. because i am desperately close to selling my soul to whatever shadow creature will take it in order to get my hands on book three. 2019 feels like t...

“When you take a person out of the world, you don't just take them, do you? You take everything they were, too.” Story ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A short summary of what happens in the book: Sex and murder (yes, at the same time), fight, train, Gladiatii, kill, fight, train, murder, sex, intrigues, fight, murder, surprise, kill, fight and brutal plot twists.That left me like this:Whereas the first book was concentrated in the school for killing (that’s my personal name for it...) this book played in the arenas

Jay Kristoff is an absolute master storyteller. This is such an exceedingly well-balanced novel in all its grandness. I expected some of the momentum to dwindle, as often is the case with the second book in a series, though this retained its sharp edge. And boy does it sting! He is not afraid to kill off characters. He is not afraid to destroy friendships and watch his heroes crumble into the dust. And he certainly isn’t afraid to take his book in new and exciting directions. Mia spent most of t...

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that a disappointing book is as bad as heartbreak. I haven’t fully comprehended nor accepted my heartbreak yet. I think. I feel like I’ve gone through all the stages of grief here. As I was reading this book, I was in denial that this book was actually boring me. I was hopeful that it would get better. That everything I loved about Nevernight would appear. That my reluctance to pick up this book would dissipate. I kept on bargaining with myself about it...

To-do list for this book:- produce an unhealthy dose of fear for Mister Kindly;- stan Mia with a passion because she's a clever little bitch;- try to stitch the knife wound between your shoulder blades;- drink a gallon of holy water, cross yourself and proceed reading with care._____________________________________________________5/5 ⭐Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺 “All must fall so one may stand.” Hello, people! Guess who’s been destroyed by a book? Yes! You’re right! M...

4.5 starsThat's right, folks. We've transitioned from assassins to gladiators!Now, some of you will (like me) love this, but some of you? Ehhhhh. Maybe not so much...Personally, I loved the way Kristoff mixed it up this time around. There was pseudo-Roman empire feel to the setting of the story in the first book, so (to me) this was a natural progression of that same story. But I can see how some might find the transition jarringbecause my mind doesn't automatically translate ninja assassins...

F U C K. ME. And I HATE you so much right now, Mr. Kristoff.Literally GTFO. * screams for days *(I was going to do a review on my channel, but I'm waiting for the UK edition to arrive so I can show all of you how beautiful it is, so once I do, I'll leave a link to it down below.)I think this book surpassed all of my expectations and brought them up to an all new high. It was so, so good. Again, Jay's writing was excellent, full of buttery prose and lyrical pieces. This time around though,

lmao it must have sucked for all of yall who had to wait for book 3 to come out after THAT ending

I am..................................... how do you say............................. ShookWith so many insane plot reveals I had trouble keeping track, a really great slow burn romance, and the most excellent lead character, this book kind of killed my soul. It’s a sequel, so we’ll split this up into sections. Let’s talk! → theme work ← Aaaaaah, this was so great. I think this book was more focused on the fact that every single person is the hero of their own story. In the first half, I was t...
