The only thing I was kind of disappointed in was how the book wrapped up. This was a very intense read and never really let up. The situations Sybella and Genevieve (and the women around them) are forced to deal with are raw and dark and will make you cringe at points. Both Sybella and Genevieve are equally engaging characters and I loved them. It was incredibly engaging but does require some concentration to get through. It is a long book and it took me a bit to read, it never felt long though. This book is full of lush descriptive writing that is beautifully done and really makes the world and characters come alive. However, she’s been undercover for many years and has no idea what she is supposed to be doing or who she is supposed to be serving.I really enjoyed this a ton. The second is Genevieve, she is serving in France undercover. She is serving as handmaiden and bodyguard to the Duchess of Brittany. The first is Sybella (who we know a lot about from the previous series). This book alternates between two different heroines. The world here is lush and intricate, the intrigue complex. I loved both of the characters we followed and the writing style was beautiful.
I would definitely recommend reading the His Fair Assassin series first. This book is set in the same world and deals with many of the same characters as the His Fair Assassin series but is set later in time. This is the first book in the Courting Darkness duology by LaFevers. When she discovers a hidden prisoner who may be of importance, she takes matters into her own hands.Īs these two worlds collide, the fate of the Duchess, Brittany, and everything Sybella and Genevieve have come to love hangs in the balance. Genevieve has been undercover for so many years, she no longer knows who she is or what she’s supposed to be fighting for. Mortain who were placed in the French court years ago. Surrounded by enemies both known and unknown, Sybella searches for the undercover assassins from the convent of St. When Sybella accompanies the Duchess to France, she expects trouble, but she isn’t expecting a deadly trap. Mortain’s convent deep undercover in the French court, she must use every skill in her arsenal to navigate the deadly royal politics and find her sister in arms before her time-and that of the newly crowned queen-runs out. Told in alternating perspectives, when Sybella discovers there is another trained assassin from St. First in a duology, this darkly thrilling page-turner set in the world of the best-selling His Fair Assassin series is perfect for fans of THRONE OF GLASS, RED QUEEN, and GAME OF THRONES.
