I am glad that you enjoyed this book, too. You still have time to read the second book before the third one comes out next month. I have seen lot of reviewers say that the second book is even better so I cannot wait to read it!Carole's Random Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737905249530702688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875242362336197892.post-40075832338845030242014-10-23T06:49:48.511-05:002014-10-23T06:49:48.511-05:00I am so glad that you enjoyed this one as well.

According to the author's notes in the back of the book, she stayed as close to history as she could to make this story work. I love reading books set in this time period.

I love reading a book that is different and when I saw that this was about assassin nuns....I knew I had to read it.

I loved reading your review because I agree with so much of the points you made - especially about the romance and Ismae's awesomeness. :) Bookish Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028950059555351758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875242362336197892.post-6502286214104615602014-10-22T22:21:39.091-05:002014-10-22T22:21:39.091-05:00I loved this book too.

I am with you on the irritation with love triangles and insta-love though. It seems at least 75% of all YA urban fantasy series have one or the other, and it is frustrating reading the same dilemmas over and over again. I've never heard of this book, but I am definitely going to add it to my TBR shelf right now!

The third book in the trilogy comes out on November 4 so I should be caught up by then.
