Nevernight by Jay Kristoff

Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicle, #1)

by Jay Kristoff

From New York Times bestselling author, Jay Kristoff, comes a dangerous new fantasy world and a heroine edged in darkness.

WINNER OF THE THE AUREALIS AWARD FOR BEST FANTASY NOVEL

Mia Corvere is only ten years old when she is given her first lesson in death.

Destined to destroy empires, the child raised in shadows made a promise on the day she lost everything: to avenge herself on those that shattered her world.

But the chance to strike against such powerful enemies will be fleeting, and Mia must become a weapon without equal. Before she seeks vengeance, she must seek training among the infamous assassins of the Red Church of Itreya.

Inside the Church's halls, Mia must prove herself against the deadliest of opponents and survive the tutelage of murderers, liars and daemons at the heart of a murder cult.

The Church is no ordinary school. But Mia is no ordinary student.

I took a chance on this because all my reading friends have said this is a fantastic book.
Sadly for me, I found it terribly boring and the sex scenes were very explicit, not that I am a prude but this is marked as a YA book (on GR at least) so there really is no need for it. The footnotes in the Kindle version were just annoying as I had to keep flipping between pages.
I gave it a 3 star as some of the book was okay, but I won't be continuing with the series.
