Representaion As Books Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle #1)
In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family.Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined.
Now, Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic—the Red Church. If she bests her fellow students in contests of steel, poison and the subtle arts, she’ll be inducted among the Blades of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the vengeance she desires. But a killer is loose within the Church’s halls, the bloody secrets of Mia’s past return to haunt her, and a plot to bring down the entire congregation is unfolding in the shadows she so loves.
Will she even survive to initiation, let alone have her revenge?

Allow me to pay homage to the writing style of this book.Finished the book. I sigh. Twisted my head. Arched my back like a mewling kitten towards its mother, hungry, afraid, an innocent newcomer in this cruel, cold world. My head ached. An unbelievable pain like a knife to the head, hilt broken like a katana sword struck by a bullet, in a fight between a samurai and a cowboy. I sat up. The chair let out a squeak, the noise of an newborn mouse. How can I describe the pain. The suffering! TheLet me start by saying HOLY SHIT.Look, I doubted you my people. I sometimes dont believe everyone when they rave about a book because too often I find theyre overhyped. Well you were right, I should have believed you. So now that this is out of the wayThis. Was. Epic.Loved the world, loved the magic system, loved the characters, loved the story, loved the humor... I JUST LOVED IT ALL.The first chapter is straight up painful. The writing style won't be for everyone (I had no issues with it!). The
NEVERNIGHT is a story about the daughter of a failed revolutionary, seeking revenge against her father's killers: It's set in a place kinda like Hogwarts: If Hogwarts was built in a place similar to certain gorgeous medieval city: And was a school where, instead of learning magic and the true value of friendship, you learn to murder the shit out of people:While there, our heroine must become a badass with the blade:A master of poisons: And an expert in the more . . . erm, subtle arts: Plus

If I were to write a review in the style of this book, it would begin something like this:I turned these pieces of former tree, the midnight ink recounting a narrative tumefied by metaphoric wanderings. It pained, O readers, it pained! Persevere, I thought. Quitting now would be a mark of failure, like a baby bird that flutters its wings for the very first time, stretching them
your friendly reminder that i did not care for this book, and my full review is up now on my blog: https://emmareadstoomuch.wordpress.co...now i'm going to hide.---------------I simply cannot believe how much I hated this book.It was on my currently reading shelf for five months. At one point, I noticed I left it in a friend's apartment and I didnt even mention it for days. Eventually, after weeks passed without me opening the book and I remained unable to even gaze upon it without shuddering, I
