But in the end it is never truly won or lost, and victory lies in discovering that we are bigger than it is.” Seeing her grow, with this group of girls, but also by herself, while being shaped by this cruel and unforgiving world, filled with even more cruel and unforgiving circumstances it’s so beautiful I don’t even have words for it. She’s come far, from learning that the word brave does mean to be strong, but it also means to be vulnerable and willing to let people in. Also, she will go down as one of my favorite characters of all-time. But Nona is a pan goddess in my eyes, and no one can change my mind on this.

And Glass will forever and always be my queen.īut Mark Lawrence truly gave me everything I wanted when he crafted Nona, and in this book especially when he made Nona attracted to multiple genders, most likely bisexual. All the side characters are some of the greatest of all time, but Apple and Kettle will never leave me or my heart. From the bonds of sisters, to the bonds of lovers, to the bonds of just women loving and accepting each other, regardless of the paths you have walked or are currently walking in life. Truly, the found family in this book is just unparalleled by anything else. My favorite part of this book? I have truly fallen in love with these magical assassin nuns and I’m honestly prepared to die for any and all of them. Yet now, in this last book, this convent, Sweet Mercy, and all the characters we have grown to love, have threats surrounding them and all their lives are on the line. This series is all about a girl named Nona who we get to see grow up, but we meet her during her childhood when she hasn’t had the easiest of lives, and is currently in the gallows for attempted murder, but is saved and taken to a convent of nuns who all are able to harness magical abilities, and we quickly learn that Nona has some magical abilities herself. But the interchanging of these two timelines, both in Nona’s perspective, was truly the perfect way to craft this tale. This book is told in two timeless one, after the events of Grey Sister, and then three years later. I very much implore you to read Bound after Grey Sister, but before Holy Sister because it really works as a much-needed bridge short story. Holy Sister is the third and final book in a series that will go down in history as one of the brightest shining lights in SFF history. Good Lord, Mark Lawrence has truly created a once in a lifetime series that I will cherish forever. “When they put us in that cage we never really came out of it again.” Goodreads | Amazon US | Barnes & Noble | Book DepositoryĪRC given to me by my amazingly kind friend – Alexa at Alexa Loves Books!
