I received a free copy of this book from Harper Voyager exchange for an honest review.

It’s been several years since Nona Grey was brought to the convent and began training to become a trainer fighter, poisoner, path walker and thread weaver. Now a teenager, Nona is deadlier than ever but is still set on getting revenge for the death of one of her best friends. But people want Nona dead too, and they’re coming to get her.

As per expected, I really enjoyed this book. The story and plot definitely seemed to move at a faster pace than the last one, and personally I would have loved more time in the convent and the lessons. I really enjoyed the female friendships in this book, as in the last one, but particularly between Nona and Zole in this one.

The end of this book was super fast-paced and I loved feeling on the edge, and not knowing who was going to survive and who wouldn’t. And I am VERY upset about the person who didn’t, let me tell you.

This is just a fantastic trilogy so far that has a world that’s brilliant to jump into, characters you love to root for, and ones you love to hate, and moments that really set your heart racing.
