But if you have read either of those series, or others like them do not expect the same from Nevernight. It’s set out clearly in the blubs of both, and in no way spoils them. In YA there are series like Throne of Glass or the Graceling trilogy, both of which are popular tales of female teens who have a professed skill at killing.
There are plenty of novels out there about assassins in the fantasy genre. To say any more about the plot is to spoil the joy of discovering for yourself the layers Jay Kristoff has crafted. The story roughly charts her quest to attain the skills needed to execute the revenge she desires. The fantasy world that this story inhabits has three suns, and their discordant rotation results in only a single day of darkness every four years, known as ‘truedark’. Nevernight relates the story of Mia Corvere, a teenager hell-bent on revenge against some of the most powerful men in the strange city she calls home. Undeniably compelling, there is something about Nevernight which forces you to keep looking, to never close your eyes for a moment, or pause for a second in turning the page, lest the darkness seep off the edges and onto your fingers. I love this brutal novel with all the darkest corners of my heart.
