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

“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.
I’ve lost interest. Will never get over how bad book 2 was.
Jay Kristoff, you caused this heartbreak.

everyone be quiet, i'm thinking
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

“Fear has its uses,” he replied. “Fear is what keeps the dark from devouring you. Fear is what stops you joining a game you cannot hope to win.”

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.

All I can say is holy fuck...
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.

NO ONE TALK TO ME. THIS WAS HORRIBLE.
...I just unhauled the entire trilogy. No, thank you. GOODBYE.

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.
In this book things are coming to the great finale. Mia makes her own discoveries and old and new characters from the books come together f ...more

“This is who I am. I'm not a hero. I'm a vengeful, selfish bitch. And I've never pretended otherwise. If you wanted a saviour, perhaps you should've picked a girl who believes this world is worth saving.”
Actual rating: 3.5 stars
In this review I will intentionally not go into the course of the plot, as I personally find it nicer to read a book without a precise idea. So you won't find a summary of the individual parts here, only my opinion in the overall picture.

JAY KRISTOFF, YOU MARVELOUS FUCKING BASTARD.
I would give this more stars if I could. All the stars in the sky and then the entire night, for that is what this story and Mia Corvere deserves. This is one of the best finales to a series that I’ve ever read; it is a masterpiece.
My tear tally is innumerable, too high to count, but it was all worth it. An incredible series wrapped in a worthy way. Bravo, Jay Kristoff, bra-fucking-vo.
