Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin #2)
The convent has returned Sybella to a life that nearly drove her mad. Her father's rage and brutality are terrifying, and her brother's love is equally monstrous. When she discovers an unexpected ally imprisoned in the dungeons, will a a daughter of Death find something other than vengeance to live for?
4.5 starsAbout a year ago, the words assassin nuns first started showing up around the blogosphere. Pretty soon they were everywhere, and everyone was talking about Grave Mercy, some obviously thrilled and some not so much. Seeing as I neatly fell into the first category, Dark Triumph became one of those books I often thought about dreamed about, to be completely honest. And I was not disappointed.The darkness of Ismaes story pales in comparison to the utter hopelessness of Sybellas
↠2.5 buddy read with Laura and HeatherIve been told lies!Ive been told that the second book is SO much better than the first one and I saw reviews where people that didnt like the first book loved this one. I, Im disappointed. Sybella wasnt a character I liked in the first book, well maybe liked is too much as she appeared only in the first few chapters, but I wasnt looking forward to her book.Nothing much happened in this one; theres a lot of riding and fighting and if theres not that then
It seems impossible, but this one is even better than Grave Mercy. Great characters, great story, high stakes, and elements of history, mystery and magic.
I just want to marry this book.And Sybella. Love this girl! I seriously enjoyed reading this beauty - the story was amazing, the characters were captivating and complex and the action was phenomenal. I loved reading from Sybella's POV and it just made me like this trilogy even more. It's been a long time since I've loved a book this much. I've missed this gorgeous feeling. Also, MY ULTIMATE SHIP IS IN THIS BOOK! Asdfghjkl. Love them! And I just want them to be happy. They really deserve it. I've
Now this is the book Grave Mercy was supposed to be. I was on the fence about Ismaes story, basically when I discovered (along with everyone else) that the assassin nuns werent so much espionage, murder, and mayhem as much as forbidden romance and courtesan intrigue, but I ultimately came down on the pro side because the backdrop of Anne of Brittanys attempts to keep her duchy independent and out of French hands resonated with this admitted historical junkie. Still, I think its probably telling
4 Stars!! ๐๐๐๐ Hate cannot be fought with hate. Evil cannot be conquered by darkness. Only love has the power to conquer them both. Another one down 1 more to go in this fun and exciting Nun/Assassin Series!! The story takes off right where Grave Mercy left off. In this installment we follow Sybella's story. She has a few secrets, one being- that she is D'lbrets daughter. As a handmaiden of death, she is left with the task of returning to her fathers home to act as a spy. There are so many

Now we're talking! This is what an assassin's story looks like :D Less political compared to GRAVE MERCY, but just as captivating, DARK TRIUMPH takes its readers on a ride full of adventure and suspense, of deception and lies. And not only is it filled with action and assassin missions and strategies, but we also get a few glimpses into the lives of some of our beloved characters from the first book. There is a bit of mystery that keeps the reader going through the story but what really won me4.5 starsAbout a year ago, the words assassin nuns first started showing up around the blogosphere.
