Nevernight
by Jay Kristoff
Wow. Just wow. That was freaking incredible.
I can't believe I put off reading this book for so long. It is worth all the hype and the praise.
Reading this book was an experience. I honestly wish I could just read this book for the first time again and again. It was freaking magnificent.
More thoughts at a reasonable hour.
But please read this god damned book, you'll not be disappointed.

This book is so gloriously dark and unapologetic. Nothing is held back.
Mia is who she is and she won't change for anyone.
I loved reading her journey.
How determined she is and how although she has to go outside her comfort zone in order to achieve her goals, she also stays true to herself.
She will make an incredible Assassin, but that doesn't mean she has to lose every part of herself to get there. She doesn't need to lose her empathy and pity and comfort, she just needs to learn where to place it.
A lesson she learns very well throughout this leg of her journey.
Tric was a sweetheart. I loved him from the start. A bit of casual cunt-ing talk from Mia and Tric was besotted. Fucking brilliant.
In some ways he didn't belong there either. He was too warm, too caring. He didn't deserve his end.
Though I still have hope. No body means he could still be out there. I believe in him! Him and Mia were too cute.
I loved the magic and mystery of this world. The Speaker and Weaver were fucking creepy as shit but so intriguing. I loved their scenes, the descriptions of their powers and their ageless horror and beauty. Just magnificent.
Mister Kindly was a joy. Such a different spin on the animal companion. I really liked the fact that he was constantly referred to as the 'not-cat'. It wasn't ever simplified, we were reminded each time. Continuously dragging you deeper into the world.
The narrator was brilliant. Admittedly I was put off this book at the thought of footnotes. How pretentious it seemed. But they were honestly some of the best parts of this book.
It's a story about Mia, but she's not the one telling it (or is she? 😏). It has already happened and someone is relaying the tale as well as adding in their own snippets and comments along the way. Even simple information was expressed with such hilarity that I looked forward to when a new note would appear. I loved them. Really brought this world to life.
I can't believe I waited this long to pick up this series. I have thoroughly enioyed every minute I have spent thinking about this book and can't wait to start the next one. I already know Darkdawn is going to kill me but I'm going to walk headfirst into it anyway.
Highly recommend. Excellently done Jay, bravo.
