A review by debbiebarr
Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers

5.0

I loved GRAVE MERCY, and was thrilled when copies of DARK TRIUMPH were available at the Heartland Forum trade show last week. As with most sequels, I was concerned that it wouldn't live up to the first book,, but I am happy to say that that DARK TRIUMPH was just as engaging and well-written as its predecessor.

This time around we hear Sybella's story, a girl full of secrets which slowly unravel throughout the book. As with GRAVE MERCY, all of the rich historical details were well-researched and woven perfectly into the story. There was plenty of action, but it's also a more personal story, as Sybella struggles with her own personal demons along with the physical dangers that surround her.

If you haven't yet started LaFevers' trilogy full of kick-butt assassins, wonderful romance and just a touch of magic, do so now! They are well worth the read.

(Definitely recommended for older readers, though, especially this one, as it was, at times, quite dark).
