Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers
5.0
My Review: Wow just WOW I really thought I wasn't going to love this book as it was not in the same POV as book one. But I learned really quickly that I loved this character just as much or more than book one. I will say that parts of this story took me by surprise. I was shocked when a certain thing was told and it really really shocked me. You can find out the spoiler here.
Other than that one part in the book this one broke my heart and then put it back piece by broken piece. I really felt for Sybella and what she was going through. Because, although she was trying to keep her sister's safe as well as the Duchess etc. She was torn on what she should do and what choice she should make. She was more like a mother to these girls than an older sister and it just made me feel so much for her. I know that I would go to the ends of the Earth to keep my girls safe.
I will say that this one felt like it had just a little more depth just because of everything that she had been through. Unlike in Grave Mercy with Ismae, Sybella has lived in this horrible world and has done unspeakable things. This story really went from an innocent character in Ismae to this world-worn character Sybella and I loved every second of it.
I am now very excited to read the last book as again we get a character change but this time we have Annith who has never left the convent EVER.

I am horrible at names. But its the guy that wants to force the Duchess to marry him. Anyway, he kills Sybella's baby girl by snapping her neck and this was very shocking to have in this title. I mean it fit but it was still very disturbing for me to read.Other than that one part in the book this one broke my heart and then put it back piece by broken piece.
