The whole series is high-impact, meticulously wrought, and utterly irreverent. Pardon me while I try to articulate my feelings to towards as series that has legitimately left me speechless and sobbing on so many occasions.

Themes: Revenge, Murder, Assassins, Family, Love, Loyalty I can’t recommend these books highly enough.īooks: Nevernight (2016), Godsgrave (2017), Darkdawn (2019) If you crave fantasy that is free from the eight-instalment world building slog and is most definitely written for an audience other than teens, then The Nevernight Chronicle is like winning the freaking lottery. Kristoff’s writing is witty, engaged, and hilariously self-deprecating as the series progresses. The whole series is imaginative, intense, and utterly gripping. And it was not much longer after that I was getting quotes from the books tattooed on my arm. I was only half-way through Nevernight when I knew without a question that I would be buying Godsgrave and Darkdawn in short order. It is, by far, the BEST fantasy recommendation I have ever received.

Thank you, my lovely book community, for pointing me towards the Nevernight Chronicles by the amazing Jay Kristoff.
