![]() ![]() "Beauty you are born with, but brains you earn."Īfter struggling with the first three chapters, I suddenly fell face first into the story during chapter 4 and it dragged me along for an amazing ride. Nevernight surprised me by having a really fantastic feminist undertone, alongside some brilliant quotes. Mia is a fantastic character, I love her strength, her pain, her courage and her fear. He clearly hates standard formatting, but it works so well that I honestly can't complain, and his character and world development are phenomenal! This is my second Jay Kristoff novel, Illuminae being the first, and I can only say that the man is both ingenious and insane. Simply put, some of the footnotes aside, this is one of the most incredible books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. You might be wondering why then that I decided to rate this as a 5 star read. My biggest issue was with the footnotes which I struggled with to begin with, I just felt that they detracted from the story a bit and pulled me out of the 'zone'. I absolutely LOVE it when books live up to their hype, and I admit that I was a little sceptical over Nevernight, because I'd tried to read this book about three times over the past year, and I just kept re-reading the first two chapters and then stopping. ![]() ![]() I'm going to start by pointing out that I've marked this book as a Fantasy novel, not a YA Fantasy (as shown on Goodreads) because there is no way in hell that this book is a YA.and by no means is that a bad thing! ![]()
