The storm begs no forgiveness of the drowned. This book is everything I hoped it would be and so much more, and I don’t know how I’ll ever recover from the traumatizing glory that is this series. I think I could honestly just write several paragraphs of assorted expletives and shocked/devastated/adoring/amused/enraged/ amazed emojis, and it would get the same point across, really. I don’t even know how to start this review. | book 1 | If Vengeance has a mother, her name is Patience.

But as conspiracies unfold within the collegium walls, and the body count rises, Mia will be forced to choose between loyalty and revenge, and uncover a secret that could change the very face of her world. Upon the sands of the arena, Mia finds new allies, bitter rivals, and more questions about her strange affinity for the shadows. When it’s announced that Scaeva and Duomo will be making a rare public appearance at the conclusion of the grand games in Godsgrave, Mia defies the Church and sells herself to a gladiatorial collegium for a chance to finally end them. And after a deadly confrontation with an old enemy, Mia begins to suspect the motives of the Red Church itself. Plying her bloody trade in a backwater of the Republic, she’s no closer to ending Consul Scaeva and Cardinal Duomo, or avenging her familia. Second comes color and B&W maps of Godsgrave, the City of Bridges and Bones and Itreya’s capital.TITLE: Godsgrave (The Nevernight Chronicle, #2)Īssassin Mia Corvere has found her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, but many in the Red Church ministry think she’s far from earned it.

First up, we have color and B&W maps of the Republic of Itreya, where the series is set. So I’m just gonna shut up and let you feast your eyes. Based on the recommendation of a couple of friends, we ran with the amazingly talented Virginia Allyn, and dayum son, she KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE GODDAMN PARK. When I put out a call on twitter a few months ago for suggestions on fantasy cartographers, I had a ton of wonderful suggestions ( thank you everyone!). It’s one thing to create a world in words, it’s entirely another to see that world visualized by an amazing artist. Today, I have the distinct pleasure of revealing two of the AMAZING maps created for my new epic fantasy, NEVERNIGHT.
