Sybella continues to serve the queen, while Gen befriends the King. They are both at the French court now and both trying to keep their monarchs safe in the best way they know how. The men and friends who support them are just as amazing and strong as they are.The story again switches between Sybella and Gen. They make the most of their training as assassins and use it to both help the world and protect those they love. Not only do they try to make the best of these situations, they grow and heal through the process. Both Sybella and Gen are women with such painful pasts who are forced into incredibly dangerous situations. The Courting Darkness duology is no exception and I think it is actually my favorite of all the series LaFevers has written.
Previous to this I had read all other of LaFevers books (including her Theodosia series and her Nathaniel Fludd series) and really enjoyed them all.Thoughts: All of LaFevers historical fantasy novels are exquisitely written and make for beautiful reads. I bought a copy of this book for my Kindle. Series Info/Source: This is the second book in the Courting Darkness duology. No one can be trusted and the wolves are always waiting in this thrilling conclusion to the Courting Darkness duology, set in the world of Robin’s beloved His Fair Assassin trilogy. Still, Death always finds a way, even if it’s not what one expects. But Sybella, having already drawn the ire of the French regent, may not be able to depend on her sister and ally as much as she hoped. But with her sisters on the run from their evil brother and under the watchful eye of her one true friend (and love) at court, the soldier known as Beast, Sybella stands alone as the Duchess of Brittany’s protector.Īfter months of seeking her out, Sybella has finally made contact with a fellow novitiate of the convent, Genevieve, a mole in the French court. Sybella, novitiate of the convent of Saint Mortain and Death’s vengeance on earth, is still reeling from her God’s own passing, and along with him a guiding hand in her bloody work. When you count Death as a friend, who can stand as your enemy? Set in the world of the beloved His Fair Assassin series, this smart, sensational follow up to Courting Darkness is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Holly Black. Two assassins will risk absolutely everything-even their own divinity-to save the people and the country they love in this lush historical fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Robin LaFevers.
