Description

The second novel in a brilliant fantasy trilogy from the international bestselling author of Prince of Thorns.

Behind its walls, the Convent of Sweet Mercy has trained young girls to hone their skills for centuries. In Mystic Class, Novice Nona Grey has begun to learn the secrets of the universe. But so often even the deepest truths just make our choices harder. Before she leaves the convent, Nona must choose which order to dedicate herself to—and whether her path will lead to a life of prayer and service or one of the blade and the fist.

All that stands between her and these choices are the pride of a thwarted assassin, the designs of a would-be empress wielding the Inquisition like a knife, and the vengeance of the empire's richest lord.

As the world narrows around her, and her enemies attack her through the system she is sworn to, Nona must find her own path despite the competing pulls of friendship, revenge, ambition, and loyalty.

And in all this only one thing is certain: there will be blood.

Although the imagination Lawrence brings to the story isn’t lacking, a lot else is. I enjoy the writing style, and can appreciate the attempt; this trilogy hasn’t been all that engaging of a read. It felt, to me, that there was too much focus on meaningless topics or fights and not enough time invested in character development. The overall arc has felt cliché at best, but—and mostly out of obligation to myself—I plan to finish the trilogy. The series is a good choice for someone who needs to kill time, rather than a must-read. I would rather have gotten them from the library and not spent my own money on them.
Even better than the forst

I didn’t believe that this (Book 2) could match Book 1, but it may have actually surpassed Red Sister. This is an amazing story that is so well written that I marvel at how the blending of characters, plot lines, suspense, adventure and the unexpected all flow seamlessly into an epic piece of literature. Now it’s on to Book (3)- 👏🌟🤩👍 JB
