Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
4.0
“When one consorts with assassins, one must expect to dance along the edge of a knife once or twice.”
I really enjoyed this, but I can understand why some find it hard to get in to as there is a lot of politics, but that was one of the reasons why I really enjoyed it and loved the fact that that is what the plot revolved around - Anne becoming the Duchess and all the political and physical dangers she had to overcome with the help of Duval and Ismae.
The characters were fantastic also, and I found myself really caring for Ismae. She was a strong heroine, smart but maybe slightly gullible, but they were her family. I really enjoyed her character development also as you saw her begin to question all she had been taught. I really liked the development between Ismae and Duval that went from distrust to love.
A must-read for fantasy and historical fiction lovers.
