Nevernight by Jay Kristoff

So let me start out by saying WOW! This book is NOT what I expected! this book is not for snowflakes!! So this book is pretty dark, if you don't like blood, gore and assassins then you will not like this book. That being said if you don't mind blood, killing and sex then maybe this book is for you. This book started off super slow and dense for me so I gave it a 4.5 stars. I found the foot notes to be extremely annoying and would've maybe liked them better had they been in parenthesis.  BUT that being said this book was DARK and glorious. And by dark I mean lots of killing and secrets in this book. Not dark as in full of rape and abuse. No rape in this book for the record. The characters are what sold it for me. I LOVE me some Mia!! She is a total badass!!! I mean this chick would slit your throat without a second thought if you decided to try and hurt her. She is a moral grey character, like the majority of the characters in this book are. They kill and murder but they do so with their own moral reasoning behind it.

I really think both men and women would enjoy this book but it is definitely for mature readers. It has a lot of gore and yes, it even has sex in it. If you don't like sex in books this might not be for you. This book has a little romance but the main plot is definitely about revenge and and killing. The romantic plot line is not the main story here at all. So if you want lots of sex and romance this book probably isn't for you.

The Characters are awesome. I enjoyed each and every character in this book. Not necessarily because I LIKED the "bad guys" but because I liked reading what they would do next. Loved the main characters in this book and their stories and learning why they do what they do. So if you want to see a BADASS female character teach everyone what a badass she is get this book. Not just ONE female is a badass either, All the characters are badasses, male and female, but none of the females are portrayed as weak or less then men in any way which I liked. The characters are most literally kicking ass and taking names. FUCK what anyone else thinks, these characters will do what they want and they will enjoy doing it the entire time.
