Summary

From best-selling and award-winning author Jay Kristoff comes the thrilling and heart-breaking conclusion to The Nevernight Chronicle.

Mia Corvere, gladiatii, escaped slave and infamous assassin, is on the run. After the greatest games in Godsgrave’s history ended with the most audacious murders in the history of the Itreyan Republic, Mia finds herself pursued by Blades of the Red Church and soldiers of the Luminatii legion.

She may never escape the City of Bridges and Bones alive. Her mentor Mercurio is now in the clutches of her enemies. Her own family wishes her dead. And her nemesis, Consul Julius Scaeva, stands but a breath from total dominance over the Republic. But beneath the city, a dark secret awaits.

Together with her lover Ashlinn, brother Jonnen and a mysterious benefactor returned from beyond the veil of death, she must undertake a perilous journey across the Republic, seeking the final answer to the riddle of her life. Truedark approaches. Night is falling on the Republic for perhaps the final time.

Critic reviews

"If you love Robin Hobb or George R. R. Martin, you will adore Nevernight." (Starburst)

"With a delicate balance of the ancient and the magical, this tense and brutal tale is unflinching, thrilling and satisfying." (Publishers Weekly)

"Joins lyrical high fantasy, Pratchett-like humour and unflinching descriptions of violence [...] something special." (SciFi Now)

Amazing

Narrator: AMAZING
Plot: AMAZING
Characters: AMAZING
Amazing? AMAZING

I'm litrerally dead right now and all i can say is AMAZING. And seriously *well done* to Holter Graham: he voiced the characters exactly right (Mercurio is the bessst) and I truly forgot that the same man is speaking for all these different characters. Truly phenomenal.

Good, but not as good as the first

I loved the first book but found this one to be very up and down for me. There were parts where I nearly gave up on it, but glad I stuck it out to the end. Overall I really enjoyed this series and the like the narrator a lot.

Superbly Written Tale.

When All Is Blood, Blood Is All. Wow what a fantastic conclusion in the Nevernight series, absolutley brilliant storytelling that leaves you in awe of Jay Kristoffs amazing world. A fast paced action packed blood drenched tale, vulgar mouthed assassins that will have hanging on every page wishing that there is no end in sight to this epic journey of vengeance. Fantastic characters, plot and the dark, oh very dark setting where the shadow daemons come out to play. I love the way the author takes the mickey of his footnotes in the story and it brings a bit humorous fun to a tale where there is just so much stabbyness and death. Darkdawn follows Mia Corvere teenage assassin, ex gladiator, former member of the Red Church dedicated to the worship of the goddess of Night and murder and dark kin a magic user that can manuplate shadows to her will. This book finds Mia on the run from the events of Godsgrave, the attempted assassination of her arch enemies the leaders of the republic that destroyed her Familia with a hostage in tow reeling from the fallout of realizing that she has been used as a pawn in the great game that her allies aren’t who she thought and that several characters thought to be dead and gone are back. Will Mia get her revenge that she is so obsessed with, read to find out, you will absolutely love the twists and turns in this superbly written trilogy. The narrator Holter Graham has given his all and has brought this amazing series to life. I very highly recommend...🖤🗡💀💥

So worth it

This is a very, very dark romance. The footnotes, which teeter on the edge of being irritating, finally make sense when all is revealed at the end. A worthy finale to a gory, witty, clever series - captivating and action packed. If you liked Deadpool you will love this. Beautifully written and well narrated, and a very satisfying listen.
