About the book

Following the story of Mia Corvere, the third and last book in the “Nevernight Chronicle” series, Darkdawn is a masterpiece that shows us how much Mia grows and how strong she is. After trying to kill the man she hates the most, Julius Scaeva, Mia is the most wanted killer in the Republic. On the run, followed by her friends who love and appreciate her, Mia tries to uncover the truth about what's really going on in her life. But the question is: can Mia survive in a world where even daylight must die?

Plot

There are so many things happening in this book, but keeping it spoiler-free I can say that it will keep you hooked and wanting to read more and more and see: will Mia survive the terros that lie ahead of her? Will Jonnen, her small brother, come to love her as she loves him? Will Mia ever forgive Ashlinn for killing her beloved, Tric?

Characters

Mia is strong. She is fierce, she does reckless things and she never gives up. She's such an inspiring character. I loved her evolution and her development, the ways she handled all the awful things that kept happening in this book. She's been hurt so much, but still she STANDS.

I couldn't like Ashlinn. I just hated her for killing Tric and I couldn't get over it, because even if she comes to love Mia so much, she still hurt her at the beginning, because she knew how much Tric meant to Mia and she still chose to kill him. I understand that she was somehow very similar to Mia, both girls doing whatever it takes to achieve their goals. When Tric forgave her for killing him, I started liking her a little bit more, but I couldn't love her or be very enthusiast about her relationship with Mia.

Tric was my favourite character, besides Mia, because he loved her SO MUCH and he sacrificed everything he had for her, even thoug he was supposed to be a heartless assassin. When he told her how much he loved her, I cried so hard and I was feeling really emotional. Damn you, Jay Kristoff, for doing this to me.

Final thoughts

This book was purely amazing. I am so happy I decided to dive into this series, because Mia Corvere has become one of my all-time favourite characters.
If you liked Jay's work with Amie Kaufman (The Illuminae Files, Aurora Cycle) you'll absolutely love this masterpiece.
