I was fairly certain I would enjoy it too, since I tend to enjoy fantasy and the synopsis intrigued me.
When I got this book from NetGalley, I didn’t know too much about it except for a vague idea that it was fantasy and the absolute knowledge that everyone seems to love it. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart? 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. Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf? My content rating: Mature YA (Characters have sex, but it's not described Some violence - she's an assassin after all!)
