I enjoy reading stories about assassins so one about assassin nuns sounded great to me. I started Grave Mercy eager and open-minded about what’s to come. “We carry out Mortain’s will when He wishes to alter the warp and weft of life’s weave for some purpose of His own.” For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart? (Goodreads) Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany-where she finds herself woefully under prepared-not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts-and a violent destiny. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. But unfortunately, this one didn’t work out and was a total bore for us. A mutual friend who read and loved the series highly recommended it to us, so we went in with high hopes expecting an exhilarating story about assassin nuns. I read this back in May for a book club I have going with some friends.
