Interesting world building, but nothing and no one kept my attention.

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 ...

Her mother tried to kill her still in the womb, leaving her scarred for life. After she's been saved from ...

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 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. I was skeptical; the push-and-pull of the romantic interes...
