A review by saluki
Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

5.0

Historical fantasy set in C15 Brittany with assassins/handmaidens of Death. Lots of intrigue, atmospheric settings, nefarious plotting against the crown, great weaponry & fight scenes, wicked good applied dark arts, and the romance isn't shabby either... no simpering women in this one. It ticked all the right boxes for me.

Loved that the reader meets the principle characters of each book in the trilogy from the beginning. Total love for this book! Look forward to the next one.
