And the constant theme of family being the people you choose is so beautifully executed throughout this entire series, but it is especially highlighted in Darkdawn.Īnd not to get into anything spoiler, but you all know I love reading about sibling relationships, especially when it is an older sister protecting a little brother. Mercurio and Mia’s relationship and found family is the stuff of dreams. I love what was done with his character so much! And let’s all be honest here, we all love seeing when the hard, grumpy one ends up being the soft, sweet one. You all know that I have loved this grumpy old man for many years, but what a bright, shining light in this final installment. “But it’s a terrible thing, Dona Mia, when the ones who should love you best leave you for the wolves.”Įspecially Mercurio. This series has such an extensive cast of side characters, but they all feel so different and so fleshed out. But Mia has so many enemies, but just as many people who truly have grown to love her. I guess I should take a minute to talk about all the side characters, even though I truly could gush about Mia Corvere forever. Seeing Mia be a recruit for the red church, to seeing her being a gladiator willing to risk it all, to seeing her deal with what it means to get close to your absolution, it’s all so beautiful and it all evokes so many emotions from me that are beyond words. This is going to be a hard book to review, mostly because it is the concluding book of a trilogy, but also just because I am too emotionally invested. A true honor and one that I won’t forget. Seeing Mia, seeing her struggles and defeats, seeing her power and victories, seeing everything ugly and beautiful in between, it has been an honor, friends.
Most of you know, this is a very beloved series in the book community, and with good reason, it truly is a story that somehow has completely bled into my very own heart and feels completely a part of me. Hi, my name is Melanie, and I truly think this trilogy is a masterpiece. “As promised, her birth you’ve witnessed, her life you’ve lived. Godsgrave is about a young woman, learning more of her and her family’s past, and willing to do anything it takes to survive.ĭarkdawn is about a powerful woman, learning what she wants in this life, and willing to do anything to protect the ones she loves. Nevernight is about a girl, desperate to learn the truth of her family, and willing to do anything it takes to seek her revenge. I am the vengeance of every orphaned daughter, every murdered mother, every bastard son.” Mia leaned forward and looked the man in the eye. “I am the thought that wakes the bastards of this world sweating in the nevernight.
“I am a daughter of the dark between the stars,” she replied. ARC provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
