I love books that take place in fantasy schools and contain competitions — so this book was perfect. We follow Mia as she searches for The Church (a school of deadly assassins).
I will definitely be continuing this series and looking forward to learning more of the mysteries the author has left unanswered 👀.
Reread 2023: I reread the physical copy this time & loved it just as much! I felt the betrayals even deeper knowing what is to come next. Such addictive writing and eloquent world building.

"Harry Potter meets The Lies of Locke Lamora."
For those who haven't read Lynch's book (which you should, if you enjoy Nevernight), this is a story of the brotherhood (and sisterhood!) of thieves, love in the dark, knowing what the dark is, and how to walk in Her shadow. Not for the faint of heart, this is a brilliant magical fantasy that will remind you of The Elder Scroll's Night Mother and Daedric Prince Nocturnal with every word. It is brilliant, emotional, tangible, and had me almost crying at a few spots.
