Ashley Mayer's Reviews > Courting Darkness

Robin LaFevers is a masterful storyteller! This book is full of court intrigue and non-stop action! In "Courting Darkness" we meet Genevieve, an assassin who has been embedded with French nobility for 5 years. She's had zero contact with the convent and is starting to question whether she will ever be called into service. Her wanderings fueled by feelings of betrayal, loneliness, and frustration bring her into contact with a prisoner who is more than he seems.

The story is told in alternating viewpoints between Genevieve and Sybella. Sybella travels to France to protect the duchess and to find Genevieve. Sybella knows there is an assassin in France but she has no clue where or how to find her. There is so much happening in this book and the stories of Sybella and Genevieve are weaved together so flawlessly that I could not stop reading! My only complaint is that I have to wait until 2020 for the next books, but seriously, that's no reason to not read this book as soon as possible. If you love the "His Fair Assassin" series then you need to read this NOW!!!

Bonus we get lots of Beast in this book! Plus, we hear from Ismae & Duval and Annith & Balthazar!!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
