Absolutely Amazing!

There are only 2 options for this book, either you love it or you hate it. Although I have to admit that if you're in the second group I will consider you crazy, I respect your opinion but you're still crazy ;)

Great worldbuilding, awesome characters, great magic system, some funny banter, and assassins what do you want more?

I never read or listened to a book twice in a row, but this one I loved so much that right after reading it I bought the audiobook here too and finished both in 2 days that should give you a hint.

If you're into dark fantasy stuff you definitely want to give nevernight a try. Can't wait for the next book.

PS: There is a LOT of killing and bloody stuff going on, cursing in every colour and a few very detailed sexscenes - so if you're offended by that kind of stuff you might want to look for something else, if not - enjoy ;)

Überraschend gut

Ich habe mir eigentlich nicht zu viel versprochen als ich den Titel unter meinen Empfehlungen sah, aber als ich mich ein bisschen reingehört habe war ich gleich ein Fan. Super Charaktere und eine fantasievolle "coming-of-age" Story in einem Setting das an Hogwarts für Assassinen erinnert. Besonders den Humor muss man hier herausstellen. Das Buch ist lustig ohne jemals zu komisch zu werden. Ich erwarte Teil Zwei in Hochspannung! Absoluter Geheimtipp.

For juvenile minds only

Overall a very trashy novel. No 5 minutes passed without me being annoyed by something. Be it the sex scenes dragging out for up to 15 minutes, the overused revenge story line, the main characters complete lack of rationality and her incomprehensible decisions or the author addressing the reader as "gentle friend" every second sentence. Good thing there is not much immersion to break in the first place, because that would certainly do the job. Language is mediocre and the whole storytelling is lacking originality and rafinesse. Not sure how this can be rated so highly. Also the readers whispering when talking as passenger is simply unbearable.

Such a great story!

I loved the story, very well written and also read, it was easy to imagine the characters and their interactions in my head, can't wait to start with the second book!

disgusting

a very good narrator reading a book, that I couldn't listen to past the first chapter. Not my taste at all...

Das allerbeste Hörbuch seit Jahren

Eine fesselnde Geschichte meisterhaft vorgetragen. Von Beginn bis zum Ende schägt die Geschichte einen in den Bann. Ich war zeitweise atemlos beim zuhören. Holter Graham gibt jeder Figur seinen eigenen Charakter (manchmal etwas sehr übertrieben, ich mag das aber sehr!) und gibt der Story extra Farbe mit seiner Stimme und dem Erzähltempo. Ich freue mich schon riesig auf die nächsten Teile. Es gibt glücklicherweise noch zwei :-)

Best book ever!!!

The characters are so interesting, with so much depth displaying the best of the worst. The world is so creative and holds so many secrets to be discoverd.
The story throws the reader from one thrilling fight or secret into the next, making me shake with adrenaline.
