but the style of all of this put me off, and I needed more depth in some areas, and less in others. But, generally, I was trying to find reason to care about the characters and the story, and reading just to read.So as excited as I was by the blurb and the concepts and what I knew of the story. And, truly, there were some beautiful moments in terms of both writing and story-some that left me laughing out loud or feeling something immediate. Most of the depth of this came into play in the world-building and the background, but too often, it felt like the author's attention was more on being clever than telling a story. More often than not, I was either slightly bored or slightly confused.
I was really excited to read this work, but in the end, I'm afraid it's just going to be remembered as one of my more disappointing reads.While this sounds like a fascinating story, and while I love the concepts behind everything and even the characters, I never really got into this book. No doubts I will continue with this series and read Godsgrave. In A Massive YEAH WAY! It should be compulsory reading for all fantasy authors! Definitely a favourite. I wish I had read Nevernight before I started writing The Curse of Time as there were so many parallels and that made me go WOW. by something that occurred towards the end of the novel, but no spoilers.
I was a little kind of oh, please tell me this is not happening. The plot and world building were phenomenal. If I ever want to write sexy scenes I better bookmark these! This is YA but there are some seriously sexy scenes which are written so well that my jaw dropped! Ha ha.
I know some readers develop book boy crushes and he'd be mine! This gritty young girl is spurred to revenge by witnessing the death of her father and the subsequent cruelty meted out to her remaining family members.Īll the characters were so well defined - and I adored Tric. I loved the shadows, (of course I did,) the not cat, (Mr Kindly) and especially the kick-ass heroine, Mia who is determined to avenge her father's killers. So much to recommend reading Nevernight, especially if you are a YA Fantasy author. Loved this from the moment I picked it up.
