When I first met Mia in Nevernight, I was confused as to whether I’d like to be her friend.

So when she learns of an opportunity that will help her get close to both Consul Scaeva and Cardinal Duomo at the same time, she takes it-even if it means going against the will of the Church, relying on an enemy, and risking her life by becoming a gladiator.īecause nothing will stand in Mia’s way … except for maybe Mia herself. But the new career isn’t leading her quite in the direction she wants it to take her, and she’s not getting any closer to her quest for vengeance against the people who destroyed her family. And in her time since becoming an official blade, she’s done more than her fair share of the Church’s dirty work. The UK versions are the kind of novels I will make room on my shelves to face out, and y’all know that kind of placement is reserved for the truly deserving.īecoming a Blade of Our Lady of Blessed Murder wasn’t without its difficulties, but Mia worked hard to make herself an invaluable asset to the Red Church, even with that little hiccup of humanity at the end. And the use of the color red in an otherwise muted palette packs a punch.īut after seeing the UK cover of Nevernight-and subsequently the UK version of Godsgrave-it just doesn’t compare. It does the job well of making people aware that this is a book about a powerful woman. If you’re caught up with the series, however, feel free to continue below. If you have not read the first book in the series- Nevernight-turn away now to avoid possible spoilers.
