Mia Corvere is the leading character in this first book, her father was hanged as a traitor and so the story begins. I am not sure there has been a book ahead of release that I have been approached about to see if I was going to review even as far as the United States. This is just the beginning as there are hints of more books to come in the series and if the rest are anything close to Nevernight then the series will be a series worth reading. I am not going to give any spoilers away here just a brief synopsis of the story. If you are a fan of fantasy novels, then Nevernight is one book that I would suggest you head out this weekend to your nearest bookshop and seek out a copy. It is dark possible even very dark in places and brutal in places. But that is not taking away from a truly epic first novel in the series. Nevernight is aimed at the ‘young adult’ market but what I would say here firstly is that there is a lot violence and some very strong language so it may not be ideal for the younger audience.

I am not normally one for reviewing fantasy novels but earlier this year I was approached and a few days later an advanced review copy landed on my desk.
