5.0

This is LaFevers' fourth book I read as well as the fourth book I read in this universe and I can't repeat enough how much in love I am with both her writing style and the world-building of the universe.

I never thought political intrigue and historical assassin spies would be things that interest me, but I cannot help but be drawn into every single one of these books.
Dark Triumph is no exception.

I really want to live in Sybella's head. Having read Dark Triumph, as well as her further adventures in Courting Darkness and Igniting Darkness, I still have not enough of reading about Sybella, her sisters, Tephanie and beast. I am missing Ismae from Grave Mercy a little, even though she does appear, I would have loved for her to appear more, even though I do understand how Sybella's story took her far away from any place Ismae would be at.

I am very sad that Mortal Heart will be the last book of this series I can read, before I have to start rereading them in order to get back into this world LaFevers constructed, but this series definitely wedged itself into the list of my favorite books.
