"In a world where the suns almost never set, a woman gains entry to a school of infamous assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers that destroyed her family. Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father's failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she wanders a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and its thugs. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the hearth of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined. Now, Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic-the Red Church. Deadly trials await her within the Church's halls: blades and poisons, treachery and death. If she survives to initiation, she'll be inducted among the chosen of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and be one step closer to the only thing she desires. …

Review of 'Nevernight' on 'Goodreads'

1 žvaigždutė

I did not finish this book.



Here is the reason:



The writing is atrocious (to me, who knows, you might like it), the plot convoluted and barely detectable between the clusterfuck of prose. With an inexplicably small (borderline unreadable) font size and tons of footnotes about various mundane details in made-up high-fantasy history felt condescending and pretentious and so monotonous, not to mention like a crime against sentences. The sex scenes made me cringe (and I’ve read Jay Kristoff described as a male author capable of writing full, realistic female characters, but after the way Mia sexualized, I must beg to differ).



It is what happens, a man writes a book with a female protagonist. She would have absolutely no healthy friendships with women. Nonstop description of how beautiful her body part is, and the terrible smut that goes with it.



Kristoff was trying too hard to make this book …
