Publisher's Summary

Nevernight is the first in an epic new fantasy series from New York Times best-selling author Jay Kristoff.

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.

Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father's failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father's former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer and a future she never imagined.

Now, 16-year-old Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic - the Red Church. Treachery and trials await her within the Church's halls, and to fail is to die. But if she survives to initiation, Mia will be inducted among the chosen of the Lady of Blessed Murder and be one step closer to the only thing she desires: revenge.

good story awkward voice actor

the voice actor pacing seems very oddly timed especially at the start of the book but you kind of get used to it. Slightly increased the speed. overall story pretty good

Cool Concept, Slow Execution

Cool concept, but felt it took too long to get going for me. It was good otherwise.

Incredible Novel

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book and didn’t want it to end. I’m so happy that this was just the first book in the series.

The writing is terrific. The world building is rich with histories, setting details, and politics. The characters are interesting and well developed. Kristoff truly is an excellent writer.

My only criticism is in the voice actor for this audible. He did an excellent job with different characters’ voices, inflection/expression, and pace. However, I found that at times his voice was too low when narrating characters like Mr Kindly. I also thought that some character accents, while exciting, were hard to understand. I’d also like to have seen more breaks or pauses between the story and the footnotes (history). I found the narrative confusing to follow at times because there wasn’t pauses.

Overall, this was a fantastic audible experience and will definitely be reading the next books through this app.

Wow that was great! SO GOOD a must read.

The story everything was perfectly amazing. The characters were so complex and exciting with an awesome female lead! the story had depth, death, sex, growth, and action! everything a fantasy story should have, it had in my opinion. the narrator did an amazing job (although I did find little mias voice grating at times) really overall no complains a journey for sure I’ll be starting the next book now.

Five stars for Mia Corvere

I really loved this book. It's been a long time since a fantasy novel has been this satisfying for me. Mia Corvere is a total powerhouse of a character with her unrelenting and unashamed drive for revenge tempered by her natural capacity for caring. The narrator was pretty darn close to perfect. I'm glad I chose an audiobook for this one. Five big 'thank you for being so good' stars.
