Narration Concering Books Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin #2)

I lean forward, pushing my body out past the battlements. The wind plucks at my cloak, buffets against me, as if it would carry me off in flight, just like the birds or the knight's soul. Let go, it cries, I will take you far, far away. I want to laugh at the exhilarating feeling, I will catch you, it whistles seductively.

The convent has returned Sybella to a life that nearly drove her mad. Her father's rage and brutality are terrifying, and her brother's love is equally monstrous. When she discovers an unexpected ally imprisoned in the dungeons, will a a daughter of Death find something other than vengeance to live for?

Evaluation Regarding Books Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin #2)

Originally posted on Super Space Chick:Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers is the second book in the His Fair Assassin trilogy but as it is a companion series, it follows a different set of characters than those in Grave Mercy. The main story continues from book one with the Duchess fighting against those backstabbing her and plotting to take her reign of Brittany away from her. This time around, we see the story progress through Sybellas point of view with Beast as a major character as well. Sybella

4.5 stars - This is the second book in the His Fair Assassin trilogy. It focuses on Sybella, who was the mysterious "wild child" from the first book. We learn all about her past and why she is the way she is (aloof, sarcastic, brusque, and seemingly uncaring and unemotional). There is a *very* good reason for the mask she wears in front of others.I really enjoyed Sybella's story. Her loneliness and melancholy and feeling of always being separate from others resonated with me. This one didn't

It had been awhile since I had read the first book in this series Grave Mercy and I was a bit afraid I would be lost going into this book, but the author didn't info dump me into oblivion and I was able to step right into the story again.Assassin nuns-what a great story idea. These nuns are bad-ass. They come across as real since the author gives them flaws and they admit they aren't perfect. *Gasp* A main character that isn't perfect?!! These nuns do their killing under their dark god Death.

This is even better than the first one, I was a bit skeptical about this, that was why it took me this long to read this. This one focuses on Sybella's story, the politics and war was less in this, the book is 50% Sybella's life, 50% the other stuff. The romance also is cool, it wasn't forced or rushed but happened at a good pace. This book took place after the final battle in Grave Mercy.The world building and writing is esqusite, I can see an improvment between this and the first book,

This review can also be found at Carole's Random LifeI received an advance reader edition of this book from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt via Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review.5 Stars!I loved the first book in this series and to be honest I really didn't think the second one would be able to top it. But it did. This book was absolutely amazing. This was the kind of book that I hated to put down. This story grabbed me and made me feel for the characters. This type of novel is

4.5 starsAbout a year ago, the words assassin nuns first started showing up around the blogosphere. Pretty soon they were everywhere, and everyone was talking about Grave Mercy, some obviously thrilled and some not so much. Seeing as I neatly fell into the first category, Dark Triumph became one of those books I often thought about dreamed about, to be completely honest. And I was not disappointed.The darkness of Ismaes story pales in comparison to the utter hopelessness of Sybellas

2.5 stars - rounded upWhile Dark Triumph provided some insight into Sybella s character, I just felt like not that much happened in this book. It was very slow to start, and the world-building was practically non-existent. As a trigger warning: this book contains severe abuse (both physical and emotional) and incest, but somehow deals with these in a far too blasé manner. Somehow the writing style of this not all that engaging, much less so than the first book, and the emotional responses of the
