Review: Yet another unbelievably epic book from Kristoff! - Where do I even begin writing a review for a book that I found to be simply flawless? Godsgrave is installment number two in Kristoff's Nevernight Chronicles, a trilogy that has only one more book to go. I'd been waiting for Godsgrave since I read the ARC of Nevernight last year in late June and completely fell in love with the world, characters, and writing style Kristoff created for this trilogy. Just as a preface before I fully dive in to this review: I'm going refrain from mentioning any specific plot points, largely because they could easily give away spoilers for Nevernight, and that's not something I want to do in case you are interested in this series and haven't yet read started the trilogy (my review for Nevernight can be found here!). The first thing about this book that I loved before I even read the first page was a beautiful, in-depth character list found at the beginning of the book. It listed all of the important characters from the first book along with a brief-but-thorough description of who they are and what they did/what happened to them in Nevernight. It was so helpful. This book was truly brilliant. Kristoff's worldbuilding is once again filled to the brim with fascinating details and vivid descriptions. It is a wonderful blend of Ancient Rome and Old World Venice, which creates a truly exciting backdrop for the events of this book, while also maintaining an overarching sense of a historical setting that is wonderfully appealing. Mia herself is such a fantastic character with so many things that I love about her. She's tough as hell, but at the same time... she's utterly human. She struggles just like the rest of us, and even though she seems like a tough shell that's impossible to crack, we reader are allowed to see that she still has doubts, uncertainties, and hard emotional struggles to deal with. However, she does possess a strong amount of confidence that grows throughout this book, although she is often knocked down a peg or two, which seems to keep both her character and the events of this book extremely realistic. Her confidence and ability to find strength in the hardest times is part of what is so enticing about her. I also love Mister Kindly and Eclipse. They are perfect in every way, and I can't get enough of their additions to the dialogue. Mister Kindly feels like that inner voice that we all (well, I, at least) have and he is absolutely one of the best characters. As much as I want to into depth about some of the other supporting characters, I'm going to refrain from doing so because the could be spoiler-y in general. However, I will say that new characters we meet are just as wonderfully crafted as Mia and every other character in Nevernight. One of the best things about Kristoff's writing is you never know what's going to happen. I'm pretty sure that he just delights in throwing curveball after curveball to keep his readers--and his characters-- on their toes. Just when you think you know how something will work out, he does something completely contrary to whatever you're thinking and it blew my mind. Even if you're right about how something will work out overall, the way in which it gets to that point is absolutely crazy. If you want a crazy, intense, amazing ride--read this book. Oh, and there's blood. Lots and lots of blood. And yes, many figures in this book will indeed meet a dark, bloody end. The last area I'd like to discuss is prose. Some people don't like Kristoff's narrative voice or his usage of footnotes in these books, but they are what make me love this book so so much. His voice is incredibly distinct and full of life -- it is witty, sarcastic, and wonderfully done. The footnotes only serve to further comment on and expand upon certain ideas or parts of the world, which only enhanced the worldbuilding. Overall, absolutely five stars!
Review: Delivers on all fronts! - Tons of action. Fast paced. High stakes. Wow. Just wow. I closed this book and my head is STILL spinning. There were so many twists and turns at the end, I’m still digesting some of the bombs that were dropped. This is one of those books that sticks with you. Not only was it better than the first, I cannot stop thinking about it. Every facet of it was glorious! The plot, the world building, the characters, all of it. Bravo, Mr. Kristoff. My favorite aspect was the world of the gladiators. It was a complete change compared to the setting and style of the first book. This gave it a fresh, different feel. I loved that. Also, I’ve always considered Rome’s history of its gladiators fascinating, so reading a story that centered entirely around that inspiration was fantastic! The writing and portrayal felt true to the source. I appreciated the harsh glimpse into the gladiator lifestyle and the struggle of slavery. Mia’s eyes were opened to something she hadn’t truly considered before, and that allowed her significant growth. One of the best things about this series is the plethora of morally gray, flawed characters. Every single character feels real. They have their own demons, imperfections, and arcs. The dialogue between them is soooo good. Mia was killing people left and right. Did I hate her for it? Of course not! I bet Jay (through Mia’s character) could tell me that every innocent human needs to die and I’d STILL love Mia’s character. I don’t know how he does it, but Jay Kristoff never ceases to impress me. Lastly, I’d like to re-emphasize how wonderful the world building in this book is. It’s clear that significant thought and attention is given to locations, history, and politics in a way that most authors gloss over. Jay utilizes footnotes to add context that isn’t necessary but appreciated! For someone like me who appreciates detail and depth, I go through EVERY footnote while I’m reading. But these can easily be skipped. This trilogy is quickly becoming a top favorite. Even though it’s not the sort of light-hearted fantasy I tend to prefer, its compelling and raw and gritty and just SO DAMN GOOD. I’m falling in love. With Mia. How could I not? 𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: 𝟱/𝟱⭐️

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great second book to the Mia Corvere's tale!
*by R***R on February 6, 2020*

First off, let me say I LOVE this series and now all three books in it. This second installment was really fun to read and established some excellent character depth to Mia, Ash, and even Jess. Other well-fleshed out characters also occur here, and the addition to the world building in this installment was well done. For those who say that the general story arc of this novel is the same as the movie Gladiator, well, ok sure. It was. That didn't really ruin it for me, just as the first one being essentially Hogwarts for teenage assassins didn't really ruin the first one. Finally, as in the first novel, I really enjoyed the sidebars and tongue in cheek humor of the narrator; I see hints of Terry Pratchett in there, which is high praise in my estimation. Why only 4 stars? Well, I hate to nitpick, but, here goes. I took off one half star for some of the battle scenes. Not because I don't like the blood (I actually enjoyed it), but because some of it was just so unrealistic as to be eye roll inducing. I think authors who write such scenes should at least visit an ER sometime. Example: If you have your jugular vein sliced open, and a deep penetration to your lung, what you will not be able to do is effectively land a punch on someone, let alone someone "fast as shadows" (whatever that means; Chapter 3). Conversely, in the same chapter, someone punctured by crossbow bolt will probably not "spout great gouts of blood" (at least people in bow hunting accidents do seem to do that). I get that he wants big gore for the visual effect of it, but at least be reasonable what you expect to happen with your gore. I, like others, also took off half a star for pointless lengthy sex scenes with the ridiculous language of cheap romance novels. Again, I'm not a prude, but at least make some of the sex have a point, and try limiting the use of "heaving" to once a chapter, and references to flowers to a minimum (hey I like Georgia O'Keefe too, but come on). Those minor eye-roll inducing moments aside, this is a series I will re-read. I will because there is some truly pulse quickening action, tear inducing tenderness, and bone satisfying climaxes that are worth reliving, but most of all to be alongside one of my favorite heroines of all time, Mia Corvere, who I put in the pantheon next to Ellen Ripley, Alita, Cirrocco Jones, and Princess Leia Organa. Higher praise I cannot give.
