Jul 31, 2019 Emily (Books with Emily Fox) rated it it was amazing

Shelves: 2019-releases, arc

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! ...more

the countless tears i shed for tric,
the cunning brutality of kristoffs writing,

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.

“I am a daughter of the dark between the stars. 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. I am the war you cannot win.”

Revenge is a dish best served with death, copious amounts of it dealt out by a merciless hand. And we all knew this would end in blood. It had to. Mia has been working towards her bloody goals for a long time and for the first time they are within “I am a daughter of the dark between the stars. 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. I am the war you cannot win.”

Revenge is a dish best served with death, copious amounts of it dealt out by a merciless hand. And we all knew this would end in blood. It had to. Mia has been working towards her bloody goals for a long time and for the first time they are within her reach.

She has become a total bad-ass. Well, she was one from the beginning except now her skills match her arrogant attitude. She knew what she had inside of her; she knew what she could become: she just had to get there. I had no doubts that she would get everything she desired because of her raw passion and anger. It’s unrelenting and totally unstoppable. And that’s her greatest strength and she knows exactly how to use it.

“My name is Mia Corvere. Blade of the Red Church. Champion of the Venatus Magni. Chosen of the Dark Mother and Queen of Scoundrels. Never call me girl again.”

Her enemies were once held in reverence by herself. She once looked up to them and was impressed by their power and talents. Now she has more than them. She is stronger. She is smarter. And she is going to kill them all like a master slaying an apprentice. And for the first time her opponents truly started to take her seriously. Her achievements speak for themselves and have earnt her a huge amount of begrudgingly potent respect.

So when death comes knocking they will be ready for it. And what transpires are some of the most well written actions scenes I've ever had the pleasure to read. They are raw and they are real. And I think Kristoff has truly honed his craft as a writer here. The blade he wields has a very sharp edge and he uses it to deadly effect to bring this series to a close with a bloody flourish. Nothing is left unanswered. And all blood is spilt.

I have no complaints. This book was everything it needed to be to bring this trilogy to a close. And what a trilogy it is. One of the best in the genre. It’s pretty much action layered on top of fantastic storytelling with complex characters from the get-go. And that may sound like a very generic and basic thing to say about a book, but how often do authors truly get this formula right? There’s almost always something wrong, some small way in which a writer could up their game or a major way if the book is trash.

So I will end by simply stating this: there is no way this book could have been any better.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Love triangles. The bane of my existence. God, how I hate them. Particularly when I’m on the wrong side.

I’m telling you, Tric deserved so much better and I can’t get over how disappointed I am because of the hand Mr. Kristoff dealt him. He came back from the dead for Mia only to get it continuously shoved in his face how the girl he loves is now with his murderer.

“I know you can smell her on me.”

Good fucking God, have you not one shred of decency you stupid cow? (I really want to call Ash some Love triangles. The bane of my existence. God, how I hate them. Particularly when I’m on the wrong side.

“I know you can smell her on me.”

Good fucking God, have you not one shred of decency you stupid cow? (I really want to call Ash something else here but I’m trying to swear less. (Ha!))
I know, I know, she cried then (boohoo), really regretted it and actually apologized to Tric for sticking a knife in his chest. Well, guess what? Too fucking little, too fucking late, bitch. And of course good old Tric, bless his heart, ended up doing everything in his power to make sure Mia got her HEA and actually forgave the backstabbing bitch for killing him. Well, good for him but this girl holds grudges. Uh-huh!

I’m wondering whatever Tric did to Kristoff for him to turn the guy into the doormat of the series?

Anyway. There’s not much else I have to say about this, sadly. There were some good things, like seeing Sid and Singer again. Cloud cracked me up. Liked learning more about Jonnen. But I have to be honest, the whole Ashlinn/Tric situation was a constant thorn in my side and ruined my fun. I tried looking past it, but to no avail. I started skimming a good deal of the book because I just...checked out. I didn’t want to read anymore about Ash’s lips and her eyes and her freckles and how she smelled and tasted and for the love of all things holy, enough already! I just stopped caring about any of the characters. Mia’s unapologetic stance, Ashlinn’s taunts...When the two main characters annoy you so, it’s really hard to keep giving a damn about the story in its entirety and whether the characters live or die. Which brings me to the ending. So disappointing. Just for once, I would’ve liked for someone to actually stay dead. You know, I'm usually the type of person who really likes a HEA - but it has to fit with the story and here, to me, it just didn't.

Book one will forever remain one of my favorites and I will remember book two fondly, but this one? I’m gonna pretend it doesn’t exist. ...more

I just went on an epic adventure over the sea on a damn ROLLERCOASTER! Action, drama, twists, love, hate, friendship, family, gods, mythology, you name it and this book had it all. I have a lot to say so I hereby present you a long-ass review...

Drakdawn is the last and final conclusion of the story of Mia Corvere. Last we saw Mia complete her revenge by killing her targets and escaping with her brother Jonnen, only to find that Scavea is still alive and well. With her old friend returning from the dead, The Red church on her trails, a sassy brat of a brother, and the task of returning balance to the world—it is safe to say that Mia had a lot to do, no pressure.
“My name is Mia Corvere. Blade of the Red Church. Champion of the Venatus Magni. Chosen of the Dark Mother and Queen of Scoundrels. Never call me girl again.”

With the note that the last book ended on, there was no doubt I was gonna get on with the third book ASAP. That cliffhanger left me craving for more. And so I started the third book as soon as possible. There were so many loose ends by the end of the last book and I am happy to report that Darkdawn tied them perfectly indeed. For starters, we get to know who is the mysterious narrator of the book. One of the things that are different in this book than its predecessors is that it is divided into 5 parts, breaking the ritual of having the book divided into 3 parts. I had noticed before how each part had a specific role assigned to them. 1st part mainly focused on introducing the plot. 2nd on executing and 3rd bore the results and all the main action. However, this book started off with such a banger that I formed very high expectations for the next parts. And it did fulfill those requirements to a certain extent but the relationship and the ending ruined it for me. I have always been patient with Jay Kristoff because I know that by the time I reach the end, it will be worth it. But not this time. I wanna start by commenting on Jay's writing. It took me a while to get used to it in the first book but then when I got a hang of it...it was a smooth ride. His writing was implacable as always. The characters were so well written that you can't help yourself but feel for them. The nevernight Chronicles have some of the best dialogs and one-liners I have ever read, full of emotions and sarcasm dripping from them. Also, can we just appreciate Jay Kristoff making fun of his writing and commenting on the very 'controversial' footnotes XD

“Oh, fuck me," you were thinking, "it's been awhile. I wonder where all the footnotes went. Maybe the author got embarrassed by everyone in his own book taking a steaming shit on them, and decided to refrain for the rest of the novel."
Well, fuck you, gentle friends.”

This book was truly an epic adventure. Mia traveling the world, finding allies, going on a quest that is bigger than everything she has ever known—felt very grand. It felt like a movie with a bigger budget. The first book followed mia's perspective alone but here multiple character POVs were introduced which not only gave depth to certain side characters but also made the book feel sumptuous and elevated.
“You're a thief and a killer and a hateful fucking cunt, but that's why I adore you.”

As I mentioned the relationship between Mia and Ashlinn wasn't for me. It came at me out of nowhere in book 2 and to say the least... I was not pleased. Ashlinn is one of those characters who can do anything and plead me to like them but I will still hate their guts. And so in a line, I would wanna make it clear—I hate Ashlinn. No matter what anyone says, I ~~cant~~ WON'T forgive her for what she did to Tric. I went out of my way to avoid the sex scenes and the "heart to heart" scenes because there is nothing more annoying than reading a character that you know deserves to fuck off but stays and tries to convey everyone that there is not a better choice of a lover for the protagonist then themselves!

"DO YOU LOVE HER?" He asked.

The moment Tric came back, I had guessed there might be a possibility for a future love triangle. And boy I was right. Now, this is a section I call "TRIC DESERVED BETTER" and I hereby announce myself as the president of that association. He was one of my favorite characters in the first book and he is my favorite in the last. He had so much potential and was the right choice for Mia. I can only define him as one of the sweetest and deserving men I have ever read about and Mia didn't deserve him in any way whatsoever. He got played like a dice. A fucking throwing DICE! Sometimes authors throw a very unusual relationship (Mia and Ash) at us and pretend that it is the most natural thing in the world. I am so not here for that *Slams door*
TEAM TRIC TILL I DIE BABY!

I had a love-hate relationship with Mia in this book but it won't hamper my decision that Mia is badass, sassy, crazy, loving, butt-kicking diva. She grew so much through the course of the trilogy. With revenge as her main focus to her friends and family becoming her life, you can feel the change. And this book was proof of how much family meant to her. I loved Mister kindly and Eclipse and I know, no matter what, they are still bantering about something. (view spoiler) This book accumulated so many different friendships that I adored. Characters from the previous books that I hated and loved, as well as the new ones just stole my heart.

“But to live in the hearts of those we leave behind is to never die. And to burn in the memories of our friends is to never say goodbye.”

In every way, Darkdawn was a true conclusion to the story of Mia. Every loose end, every twist, every turn, it all was so beautifully written that it all fit together like pieces of a puzzle by the end of the book. I loved how every character and every story arc got an ending and it all wrapped up. It is very hard to find the last book which truly is the end to a world or a book but Jay Kristoff pulled it off.
But I have to point out that I am glad that everyone and everything got an ending, however, I don't like the ending they got. If the last chapter wouldn't have happened... I would have cried, I would have loved it, I would have raised my ratings. But the last chapter did happen. Everything leading towards the end was perfect, the story was wrapping up perfectly and then...it took a U-turn! I was waiting for that last final impact to hit me but it never did. I was waiting for the ending to one of the best trilogies out there to leave us speechless. And i am speechless but not in a way I imagined.
(view spoiler)

“However it ends, at least you had a story to tell.”
The ride for the Nevernight Chronicles wasn't a smooth one for me. It reached its peak, then went on moderately, then touched the sky only to fall. Despite my 2 major concerns I loved this book. And as for the trilogy as a whole—one of the best books out there. I am so glad I picked this up because these characters have grown close to me. These books have some of my favorite action sequences ever written because they feel so real and deadly. And believe me when I say that now I am going to force my friends to read this.
I can probably describe my experience reading this trilogy as follows:

Amazing characters + badass protagonist + trash relationship choice + epic fight sequences + one of the best worldbuilding + fangirling over Tric + crying + Hating ash + deaths..lots of deaths + not so great ending + best buddy read partner + twists + mystery + 2 favorite animals= The nevernight Chronicles

Buddy read this book with the awesome Lisann. Thank you so much for making this book fun and ranting with me. It would have been awkward if we didn't hate and love the same characters. ...more
