Black Atonement by David Annandale
4.0
The city of Shadowvel lies outside the borders of Neferatia, yet to Neferata’s eyes it benefits greatly from its proximity to her realm. Displeased with the city and its prideful citizens, she intends to see it destroyed, and employs her prodigious talent for manipulation to make it so.
It’s quite a close focus story, with just three characters, no narration, no real action but plenty of enjoyable dialogue. With Emma Gregory’s gleeful performance really bringing out the inhuman savagery behind Neferata’s smoothly civilised facade, this delivers one of the best depictions of the character yet.
