Gen and Maraud are a couple I can totally get on board with. She definitely redeemed herself throughout this book. In this book, I appreciated her efforts to make things right again or at least to the point where her friends and sisters wouldn’t be in danger from the Crown. She is a bit unpracticed but it’s understandable since she left the convent at 12 and never got to finish her training. She really was trying to help but when she realized she made this colossal mistake, she does try to make amends. This book is about her trying to fix her mistakes. She can be naive, too trusting and made some really stupid mistakes in the last book. I had mixed feelings about her in the last book because let’s face it. Beast reminds her that there is light alongside the darkness in this world. She is truly a wonderful heroine and I’m glad to see her journey extended in this duology. I have always, always loved her fierceness, her loyalty, strength and love she has for her sisters and friends, even showing kindness to the people she really dislikes. I will say this book in particular may not be my favorite out of all of the books, I still really enjoyed seeing how each characters’ story wrapped up.įirst, Sybella. Praise Mortain! I’m finally done! I have been waiting since Grave Mercy for a happy ending for these characters I have grown to love so much over these years. No one can be trusted and the wolves are always waiting in this thrilling conclusion to the Courting Darkness duology, set in the world of Robin’s beloved His Fair Assassins trilogy. Still, Death always finds a way, even if it’s not what one expects. Sybella, having already drawn the ire of the French regent, may not be able to depend on her sister and ally as much as she hoped. But when Genevieve mistakenly draws the attention of the French king to the convent of Saint Mortain and its deadly arts, she may do her sisters (and herself) more harm than good. But with her sisters on the run from their evil brother and under the watchful eye of her one true friend (and love) at court, the soldier known as Beast, Sybella stands alone as the Duchess of Brittany’s protector.Īfter months of seeking her out, Sybella has finally made contact with a fellow novitiate of the convent, Genevieve, a mole in the French court. Sybella, novitiate of the convent of Saint Mortain and Death’s vengeance on earth, is still reeling from her God’s own passing, and along with him a guiding hand in her bloody work. When you count Death as a friend, who can stand as your enemy?

Set in the world of the beloved His Fair Assassin series, this is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Game of Thrones. From New York Times best-selling author Robin LaFevers comes the follow up to “sharp and breathless” (Kirkus Reviews) historical fantasy Courting Darkness.
