The second book in Jay Kristoff's Nevernight Chronicle continues the story of Mia Corvere, an assassin trained by the Red Church and driven by revenge against the men who destroyed her family. Here Mia has herself sold into slavery as a gladiatrix, fighting her way through the arena toward the targets she means to kill. Kristoff writes in a dark, stylized voice with heavy footnotes and a body count to match, set in a world with three suns where true darkness is rare. It is violent, profane, and fast, best for readers who liked the first book.
