⭐5 stars⭐It is this kindness of his that unsettles me most. I can dodge a blow or block a knife. I am impervious to poison and know a dozen ways to escape a chokehold or garrote wire. But kindness? I do not know how to defend against that.

So I was kind of hard-pressed not to pick this book up when I heard it was about assassin nuns. No, seriously, assassin nuns. Just take that in for a moment. It is every bit as awesome as it sounds. In fact, given it is that odd and almost-impossible-to-find combination of fantasy and historical...

Upon reading the first pages of this book, my mind immediately went through some thoroughly unpleasant flashbacks to The Hunger Games.A note to all authors: if you're going to write a story in first person present tense, don't make the story sound like it's being narrated in hindsight.

This is the story of a girl that is trained how to fight and kill... She is trained as a assassin and serve as a handmaiden to death. Good book I though it was going to be difficult to read because its a big book and I though it was going to be boring BUT it's NOT... I really love it.

I shit you not, this was the vibe I got from reading Grave Mercy.THIS IS NOT OK!!!I understand that traumatic events can lead to a specific character trait in the future, but the nuns in this specific novel seem to be sipping from the Deep and Dark Pool of Radical Feminism on a daily basis.After a v...

I get this is a young adult book, but honestly if the main character is an assassin there should be more killing, you know more assassinating. And that’s complaint one. Grave Mercy is an interesting idea – take an alternative medieval Brittany, add assassin nuns (...
