I had thought my return to this series would be as easy as falling back in a friendly old dream, as effortless as curtains parting and meeting again on either side of an opera performance, a lever being pulled, one set whisked to the rafters and another dropped to the stage.
Yet, when I finished reading Darkdawn, I found myself moved by two contrary currents: my love for this series, appearing in the fragile wisp of my memory very much like its bright old self, and the realization—like a shock of ...more

Damn... it's over. I'm going to need some time to process this...
(4.5) I think the last book of the series will divide the fans. For my part I enjoyed it!
Questions are finally answered, the characters continue to grow and to bring laughter and tears.
The magic system is so interesting and original and I hope there will be more books in that universe.
Can't wait to discuss this one in details soon with everyone!
Oh, and gotta love Kristoff making fun of his own writing!

“I am a daughter of the dark between the stars,” she replied. “I am the thought that wakes the bastards of this world sweating in the nevernight. I am the vengeance of every orphaned daughter, every murdered mother, every bastard son.” Mia leaned forward and looked the man in the eye. “I am the war you cannot win.”

O’gentlefriends, Darkdawn concluded The Nevernight Chronicle trilogy on a bloody high note, and it’s not implausible for me to say that this has become my favorite book in the series.
Each installment within the series can be classified as Mia’s journey throughout her life; Nevernight as Mia’s book of birth, Godsgrave as Mia’s book of life, and Darkdawn as Mia’s book death. Don’t worry, if you’re reading this withou ...more

well, gentlefriends, how devastatingly mias story finally ends.
with it ruining me very gently, and then ruining me very hard.
but each page was worth the release date being pushed back a year,
the countless tears i shed for tric,
the cunning brutality of kristoffs writing,
the longing i felt for mias revenge,
and the acceptance of knowing this is the ending i got, even if its not quite the one i wanted.
and so finally, as i close the cover, this story

This trilogy gives me chills. I’ll have a full review and discussion on my channel.
Darkdawn was the dramatic conclusion to the Nevernight trilogy full of humour, murderous angst and the indomitable sass of Mia Corvere.

this is one of those books where i didn't start crying until i finished the epilogue and closed the book. the ending was a tiny bit muddled with the action, but other than that, i have zero complaints. i'm gonna miss mia and her triumphantness and mister kindly :c

oooooooh the disappointment....
All I can say is holy fuck...
Unpopular opinion time.
I have never been less into a relationship than I was in this book. Ashlinn Jarnheim you know what you did and this reader can never forgive you. Therefor for most of this book I teetered between boredom and impatience to pick up the pace and get to where we are going.
As my good friend Eon said. "I want to smother that romance in darkness and feed it to the MaW!" Good call sir, good call.

When all is blood, blood is all
And when one of your favourite series reaches its inevitable end, all is bittersweet. Goodbye, Mia Corvere. Thanks for the anarchy.

so. darkdawn. the final book in my favorite series. the long awaited death of mis corvere. how do i review a book this important to me? i cant put my feelings into words, but for the sake of this arc i'll try.

You never miss your shadow until you’re lost in the dark.
So I don’t even know where to start this review as I’m just so sad that my journey with Mia has ended. I feel like I have been punched in the gut and now I don’t know what to do as the series has ended. But it ended spectacularly and now I am just sitting here contemplating the end of the series.

Finishing this book is like a weight lifted from my shoulders. It’s a bittersweet relief to hold the end of this story within me now. More thoughts to come ...
This is not a review. This is a heartbroken goodbye. I have loved this trilogy even more than I thought possible. My love for Mia is boundless. Her story? Well, that's something I'll be coming back to every now again. I will need to visit her and her merry band of misfits. To Jay Kristoff, all I can say is kudos! Best effing series I've read in a very long time. Also, where's Jonnen's tale? Surely He also has a story to tell!
