Nevernight took me on such an adventure! I had a hard time putting it down when I needed to be part of the real world (which was more times this past month than I care to admit) and I just wanted to know what happened next. If you are looking for a book that has revenge, assassins, and wonderful writing, this book is for you!

I will say it take a little while to get used to the writing. Nevernight is written with two POVs, one being the main character, and the other being an omni-present narrator. The omni-present narrator has few parts within the main text, their voice is mainly in the footnotes that appear throughout the book. The first chapter is the one that was a little hard to follow, and that is because there is a back and forth between flashback and present time, but after that it is much easier to follow.

I really enjoyed the characters, and honestly didn't know where the story was going, which made it more exciting to read. Each character had a lot of depth to them, and even if their story wasn't fully explained, you could feel it in the way they were written. Mia, the main character, was a great main focus, since she isn't quite sure what she is, and there is a mystery surrounding her throughout the book, which never quite gets resolved. I personally always love having a character that is trying to find where they belong in the world, but it's more of a delicious turn when they don't figure it out completely. Her companion, Mister Kindly, was a fun asset to the story, although I wish he had been a little more outspoken than he was. He had a playful relationship with Mia, but I wish there had been a little bit more to it, more banter and snark.

As for the plot itself, I really had no idea where it was going, which made it more exciting to read. There were so many directions it could have taken, and when I had thought I figured it out, something new was thrown into the mix and I knew what I had thought was wrong. I personally love stories that take turns and are unpredictable, as predictable stories get boring. *SLIGHT SPOILER POSSIBLY* The way some stories have a problem and even though there is next to no hope for the main character or characters to win or figure out the problem, miraculously they do. This is not the case with Nevernight, as Mia tries and fails plenty of times, and at one point where I believed the story to be going into that place where she somehow beats the odds, she failed again. This made the story for me more believable and likable, and made Mia seem like a more humanistic character.

I could say more about how amazing this book is, but why are you still reading this review? Go get yourself a copy of Nevernight AND Godsgrave while you're at it and get reading!
