I'm also kind of hoping for the Duchess to get her own book. After 3 books of trying to find a solution I believe the author found a very inventive and creative end to her story. I also liked the resolution of the Duchess's struggles. It felt to me like the stories of the 3 main girls remains largely unfinished. I enjoyed the fact that we got to see a bit more of Ismae and Sybella, and a part of my wishes that the author would write some epilogue novellas for them. It is what love can drive people to do that is the problem.” “I am beginning to think that love itself is never wrong. The connection (romantically and otherwise) between him and Annith was a bit difficult to believe at the beginning, but near the end of the book it made a lot more sense. I liked the addition of the helliquin and Balthazaar to the series he was a very interesting and mysterious character and remained so throughout the entire book. I felt that it was not consistent when it came to Annith's plot. The plot at times was very straightforward, but really only when it pertained to the political plot with the Duchess. It just felt a little jumbled in my opinion. For example, when she leaves the convent with a set course but then ends up with the Helliquin, and then the women warriors. In my opinion this book was pretty darn scattered, with Annith doing one thing but then getting roped into other journey next. Finding this a horrible fate, Annith strikes out on her own after the Reverend Mother to demand answers as to her fate.īeing that this book is almost 450 pages, it was really a sad fact that it took almost 100 pages in for the book to finally grasp my undivided attention. One day while spying on the Reverend Mother, Annith discovers that she is not meant to leave the convent, but to stay forever and be the next Seeress. Annith has been waiting and longing for years to be sent out on an assignment, like her sisters before her. Unlike the other girls, Annith has spent her life in the convent since birth. We know her from the previous books, as she is friend and sister to Ismae and Sybella. That being said, Mortal Heart is probably my least favorite book in this series, the second book Dark Triumph the best. I can't recall a historical fiction book(s) within this genre that has been so beautifully executed with strong female characters. I truly believe that Robin LaFevers has brought something special to the young adult genre with her His Fair Assassin trilogy. I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the two books before it. “If Death could grant you a wish, you would use it for someone else? Trade your happiness for someone else's?”Īs I always do with my 3 star reviews, I maintain that just because I rated a book 3 stars does not mean I didn't like it/it isn't good.
