This disrupted my flow of reading EVERY. Overall, when an author uses metaphors, it adds a poetic element to the novel, but this time, I felt like it was just to show off how clever the author can be. I mean… it’s not a bad book, but it pained me SO MUCHHHHH! I had to push myself to read it, because it has a massive overuse of metaphors and adjectives… and well… this pretty lady knows English as a second language… I ain’t got no time to overthink every single paragraph to understand what the author might be saying! At that moment I thought “what the hell did I get myself into?!” while having a strong interest to see where it would go.īut oh man… I deserve a big ass prize for finishing this book.

Her first time, sexually, and her first time killing someone. The book starts by describing Mia’s first time. Mia is all alone and full of hatred towards the people who destroyed her family, and she will do anything to make them pay.

In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family.ĭaughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life.
