It really is a hit or miss with multiple point of views because it can be exciting or drag the story on and make it boring..... Sadly it was the latter of the two. While it wrapped everything up I feel it could have entertained me more

This was a very captivating novel, a great follow up to the first in the series. The author does a great job with character development, plot, and has beautiful diction.

Being the last of the the duo logy I was quite let down by this book. The POVs were poorly executed and I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I would’ve liked too.

I recommend to read 'His fair assassins' before picking this series as this is an expansion of that world. That will help in understanding the world better and easy. The MC matures in a good way with improved writing quality.

Wonderful characters and story line. Wonderful world building The author has a gift for writing wonderful, strong women and crafted believable POVs..

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to read igniting darkness
Enjoyable read, flowed well and kept me interested enough to finish.
Credit to the author.

I loved the world building. I loved the characterization. I loved the ships. I loved the writing. I even appreciate the multiple POVs. Sybella and Genevieve are girl goals, and Igniting Darkness is truly a wonderful ending to a series chock full of awesome heroines. It’s the kind of book you would feel good to let your daughters read when they’re ready for that kind of heat. The only thing that I found problematic was the pacing, but I bought into the characters early, so it wasn’t distracting when things would slow down. The entire series is well done and engaging, and recommend both it and His Fair Assassin.

I was given this ARC via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This is an amazing end to the series. In this book we follow the end of Sybella's story. We follow the battle of power the queen has as well as Sybella's battle with her family.
This book is filled with personal, emotional, mental, and physical battles. I could not be happier with the ending or writing of this novel!

This book was excellent, really engaging and I loved the character progression we got. This book does throw you into the story so I would suggest a reading of her other work first to get up to speed. Perfect for fans of Sarah Maas, Kristin Cashore or Leigh Bardugo.

I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a good read. I liked the plot but I expected more from the characters.

Thank you kindly to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this review copy.

It didn't quite hold up to the last one, but was still exciting and satisfying. I am ready for whatever R.F. LaFevers writes next!

Enjoyable fantasy, this was my first read by this author and I can't wait to read more of their books soon.

This book was really good. It exceeded my expectations. I loved the character development we saw and definitely think it deserves more hype

This book starts directly after the ending in the first book in this series. In book one, we have met the main characters in this battle between Brittany and France and the fight that the Duchess, now Queen, is undertaking against the AWFUL and evil Regent of France who is NOT going to give away her power if she can help it.

What I enjoyed the most from this book was the way the "team" got together to work together - even though they were going against the King who was being stupidly obstinate - to save Brittany from the double cross attempt of Rohan along with the English. I will say though, that it was also EXTREMELY frustrating to see the King being so blind to the manipulation going on from his supposed TRUSTED advisors of his Privy Council. Granted, he was a young and inexperienced King but he had so much potential to be a good King, but had not yet made the step to embark on that journey. Our team had representatives of the many of the Nine, who each had awesome and different powers given to them by their gods to make a one of a kind team of fighters.

This book also showcases the deep relationships that abounded between all of our heroes. We see Maraud thrilled to see Beast, Lazare willing to work with the archers, the archers willing to guard the sisters of Sybella, Sybella and Gen developing a relationship as sisters, and Gen realizing that her powers were so much more than she could have ever hoped for...all in all, what a wonderful team with wonderful skills.

Again, this book was a book in the Historical Fiction genre and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. My prior experience with a favorite book series in this genre is the Outlander series and while this series does not overtake this as my favorite, it is still up there in terms of my enjoyment.

I was really excited to get approved for this boom even though I haven't read the other books in this series yet! The writing was magical and I was able to follow the different POV even though I hadn't had a chance to read the other books yet. This book pulled me in and I'm now in the process of reading the other books in this series.

I read just a little sneak peek and this out sounds great!

I can't wait to read the rest! And that cover is gorgeous

The first book in this series (which is actually a follow up to Grave Mercy series) was a fantastic, action-filled story filled with political intrigue, assassin nuns, and surprising curves (all the right kinds in all the right places!). Igniting Darkness jumps directly back into the fray, which might be a little jogging for readers who have waited awhile between these two books. The netgally offering is only a sample, but shows that this second book is going to be just as intricate and well-played as the first.

Interesting premise. Likable/hated characters. Cool plot. I would recommend this story to others. Some spots I found that didn't hold my attention, but overall, I still liked it.

I wish I had been given a copy of the first book to have read beforehand as I think definitely reading that first would have helped a whole lot than going in blind to a world that is already set up.

From this book and what I could make up the world that has been created is extremely good and the characters are well crafted.

The pacing was good and the chapters didn’t drag on and on which when that happens it can be an absolute ball ache. I would be very intrigued in reading this like I said from the beginning but from what I got from this book I think it would have made an impressive duology.

I gave it a 3.5 star rating but had I have read the first book this could have been higher with a much lengthier insight in my review

The richness and depth of the world building from the very beginning, is so intense, intrigue just drips off the page. Already a fan of Robin LaFevers' work, yet again LaFevers provides excellent storytelling looking forward to reading the rest of this book.

I will say its complex so diving in can be a bit hard but a well worth getting thru the first 10 pages, and smart tough women navigating the intricacies of politics gender roles is so deftly handled. And a dash of mysticism and its an excellent read.
