When I started this I was a bit worried. Actually, it wasn't the start, the prologue was heart-thuddingly, pulse-poundingly exciting: It is important, when killing a nun, to ensure that you bring an army of sufficient size.That opening sentence... Seriously, could you resist the lure of that dark promise??Then the first chapter.No child truly believes they will be hanged.If I could do that scream emoji on here, picture that. It's the kind of beginning that makes you sit up in your seat, tense a...
4.5 stars!
It had never crossed my mind that I would read a greater story than that of Kvothe the Arcane. I had never thought it was possible to find a greater character than the Emperor Jorg Ancrath. I had never even slightly considered that there might be a fantasy world out there toppling that of Τhe Final Empire, and most definitely, I had never thought that i could love a book more than The Night Angel. But here we are. Nona, a young girl of eight, orphaned by her father and abandoned by her mother, i...

ARC provided by the publisher—Harper Voyager—in exchange for an honest review.The magic of rereading Red Sister strikes a gold mine.Other than a few changes or grammatical fix, I rarely rewrite my full review. However, Red Sister merits one because I loved it so much more than my first read; the quality jumped from great to amazing in my criteria. I was pleasantly surprised by this. I decided to reread Red Sister in order to refresh my memory before I continue with the series, I didn’t expect to...
I've been a fan of Mark Lawrence's gritty 'grimdark' fantasy novels for a long while now, but I think Red Sister may be my favorite. (Sorry, Prince of Thorns. I still adore you.) Elevator pitch? Okay, it's reductive, but imagine Hogwarts as a nunnery that trains young girls to be assassins. The world of Abeth orbits a slowly dying sun. As a result, most of the world is encased in ice except for an ever-shrinking corridor along the equator, where humanity is squeezed together, fighting for surviv...
