From the international best-selling author of the Broken Empire Trilogy comes the first in a brilliant new breakout fantasy series. A searing novel set in a brand-new world, this series follows a young girl who enters a convent where girls are selected to train in religion, combat, or magic. Nona is selected to learn combat and finds herself at the center of an epic battle for empire on the outer reaches of a dying universe.

This was amazing!! It's now 1:55 AM but I NEEDED to finish listening to this. Wow.

I already bought other books and can't wait to get to them. But I will because I need sleep. (no regrets)

My one issue with this is that there are a few parts (3-5 parts) where the audio really changes and the reader sounds clean(?somehow?distant?) and mechanical. It never lasts long but it's jarring. Still so amazing.

Holy ****!!

The story was compelling, the characterization on point, the world-building fascinating. I've been recommending this to everyone I know.

One of my favourite fantasy reads this year

The synopsis sounds a bit cliche, but it’s all pulled together very well and doesn’t feel well trodden. The narration is excellent, and the world itself, once you learn about it, is really damn cool.

Fantastic

A little bit confusing at the beginning when bouncing between different time frames. it was a story i could listen to for a bit and put it down.
Story strarted a little slow, but the interesting characters and world building kept me coming back and it got more interesting as it progressed. Narrator did a great job giving the characters unique voices and personality.

Enjoyed it enough to pick up the second one, I want to see how the story plays out.

interesting world building and characters

I followed because I thought that if I turned back then I would keep turning back, turning away from every other fear, from every new thin, and that I would never leave that place to which my father had brought me. I would live, toil, grow old, and die, all within sight of my mother's hut, and the ice would remain forever a line glimpsed in the distance, and I wouldn't matter to the world nor would it matter to me.

This was one of the best Adult fantasy books I've read in a very long time. I have so many positive things and thoughts about this one. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a good magic system, badass nuns, and women who know being vulnerable can be strong as well.

Everything that Nona has suffered through has made her stronger - and recognize that there is always room to love and be loved. I liked her understanding that people can be your friend even if you never outright say it and that she is so loyal to people. Nona is strong, young woman who does everything she can to protect those she cares about. I liked that even though she is clearly strong and going to be a part of the prophecy, she still needs training and education to get her to exactly where she has to be.

I loved seeing how these girls started by being somewhat enemies and then becoming friends. I think there were good dynamics between all the female characters in this one. There were interesting relationships and they were expertly explored in this without making the females into stereotypes or taking away their womanness, which is something I was a little concerned about since this is written by a man.

The magic system and the way the world building works is incredible. It was one of the most creative ones I've read in a while. I am excited to see how it grows in the rest of this series (since the next book is already out!!!).

If you are looking for a good fantasy read, this is the book for you! I highly recommend it if you are looking to transition from YA to Adult fantasy - or just enjoy Adult fantasy to begin with. You'll love Nona, the badass nuns, and that this has a lot of action!

Amazing Start to a Fantasy Series!
