The romance between Gavriel and Ismae was SO GOOD. I was kept on my toes and very worried about how the duchess would fare.
Even with that being the case there were still a handful of twists that I didn’t see coming. You can see who the traitor was from the first moment they stepped onto the page. Reminded me a little of ToG (because of the assassin idea, but that’s it). There was quite a bit, but I was missing a bit more stabbiness. I thought there would be a bit more murder because the whole concept is that Ismae is an assassin for the god of Death. I loved the pacing and felt there was a steady amount of action. The hype train got to me, but it worked! I really had a great time reading this thought it was quick and endearing. I picked up this book based off of the hype for the new series, Courting Darkness. Someone please tell me they got that reference. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart? Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany-where she finds herself woefully under prepared-not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts-and a violent destiny. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Why be the sheep when you can be the wolf?
