Mortal Heart

And then, realizing he is no longer as guarded as he was, I sweep my leg wide, knocking his out from under him, satisfied when he lands flat on his back in the dirt.

If that is the case, then it is their fault and not mine. I wished only to keep my own skills honed.” I follow up with another shove, which he again allows. “Simply because your thoughts are base does not mean I must accept the taint you would lay at my feet.”

This was so much fun! I was curious as though what was gonna happen in this book. And I was pleasantly suprised. Loved it!!

Annith has watched her gifted sisters at the convent come and go, carrying out their dark dealings in the name of St. Mortain, patiently awaiting her own turn to serve Death. But her worst fears are realized when she discovers she is being groomed by the abbess as a Seeress, to be forever sequestered in the rock and stone womb of the convent. Feeling sorely betrayed, Annith decides to strike out on her own. She has spent her whole life training to be an assassin. Just because the convent has changed its mind doesn't mean she has.

Mortal Hearty by Robin LaFevers

This is the final book in a great YA fantasy trilogy. In this book, Annith finally takes control of her destiny and leaves the convent. She is not happy with the way that the Reverend Mother is running the convent and treating her young assassins-in-training. On her journey, Annith finds much about her birth, her life and who she is as an adult. This series has great, strong female main characters, romance, action and fantasy in a historical setting. I highly recommend these books to high schoolers and adults.

Such a satisfying conclusion to a series that we basically no the outcome due to it being based on real events. Nonetheless everything still caught me off guard and there were moments where I put the book down and couldn't believe what was going on! Annith's side of the story is very unique and probably the one with the most plot twists but my favorite is still going to Ismae's story. I have a soft spot for her and Duval and I kept wanting to hear more of them. Other than that the book was great. I really wish the author would write more books! Thumbs up!

The powerful third book in Robin LaFever's critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling His Fair Assassins series perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Kristin Cashore, and Victoria Aveyard leaves Annith with a desperate decision to make that not only affects the future of Brittany, but the destiny of the god of Death Himself.

Combining romance, action, and political intrigue, Mortal Heart delivers a breathtaking conclusion to the war between Brittany and France...for now.

Annith's story was a good way to end this amazing trilogy about assassinating nuns. The struggle Annith faces was briefly mentioned in the previous books, but the fleshed out story had even more depth. Although the resolution was a little weak, the overall condition to this dark trilogy was fantastic.

The start was a bit rocky with Annith's narration (aka more annoying than I would've liked), but the story definitely smoothed out & overall became a satisfying end to this trilogy. :D I can't lie, I was all up on Balthazaar/Mortain, because that character's trope is one where my pants fly off. *shameless*

A delightful end to the trilogy. I didn’t find the romance quite as compelling as the first two, but it was an interesting twist. I’ll definitely be reading the sequel duology!
