I snagged a copy from Netgalley when this was available as a 'Read it Now'.I liked it so much I bought the entire trilogy in paperback before I had even finished the first book. This is one of those hyped up books that I see enthused over time and time again, and its never really caught my eye. The ...
Pockets of gripping intrigue between yawning stretches of utter boredom.Instead of making this a scattergun approach with a little bit of political intrigue, a little bit of historical drama, a little bit of romance, a little bit of magic - failing to combine all these elements the author needed to ...

Grave Mercy was enjoyable enough. Because of a few things, however, I didn't love it.Firstly, the romance between Gavriel Duval and Ismae feels so forced. I really wish they just had a platonic relationship, not a romantic one. Secondly, the middle part of the book isn't all too interesting. I don't...
I was expecting this book to come in at a solid three stars. The plot element that most intrigued me -- assassin nuns! -- didn't get a whole lot of play, and I wondered if the story and the characters would be enough to hold me till the end.
