Nevernight is the first in an epic new fantasy series from New York Times best-selling author Jay Kristoff.

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, 16-year-old Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic - the Red Church. Treachery and trials await her within the Church's halls, and to fail is to die. But if she survives to initiation, Mia will be inducted among the chosen of the Lady of Blessed Murder and be one step closer to the only thing she desires: revenge.

I truly enjoyed the story, a little bit of wasted time and a bit of a squirrel hunt on the very graphic love scenes

Inconsistent characterization, some story issues. I really wanted to enjoy it more then I did.

overall good, but wanted to like it more

Far too quiet when the shadows speak, couldn't make out what they were saying most of the time. And the tangents at the beginning of the book that filled 3 to 15 minutes of useless information each could of been done without. I understand it's world building, but the story's flow is completely broken by them when they happen.

Good, but quiet

I truly enjoyed the whole thing! The narrator did an amazing job, the descriptions were enchanting and the story was interesting. Don't get me wrong revenge tales and assassins are a dime a dozen for books so the idea is not unique. That isn't the charm of the book, it isn't built around an interesting premise or gimmick. The thing that is good about the book is the way the world feels lived in, the characters feel genuine and interesting.
When I read or listen to books a big thing to me is the characters need to be interesting, I want to feel they are real and their reactions make sense based on their previous actions. This one does that well, Mia is Mia start to finish. She grows as a character but she never jumps shark.

I loved it
