Gabriel de Leon has saved the Holy Grail from death, but his chance to end the endless night is lost.

While travelling he meets the Company of the Grail led by Chloe Sauvage, who has found a young urchin named Dior Lanchance who is the Holy Grail; as a direct descendant of the Redeemer, her blood can destroy vampires and heal injuries. I’ve missed these for the past few months and so would like to get back to comparing covers (and hopefully I will be updating this page with a new banner.From the New York Times bestselling author of the Nevernight Chronicle, Jay Kristoff, comes the first book of an astonishing illustrated dark fantasy saga. He is the winner of eight Aurealis Awards, an ABIA, has over two million books in print and is published in over thirty five countries, most of which he has never visited.

Jay Kristoff skillfully weaves the journeys of our reluctant hero and the chosen one with themes of found family, family drama, morally grey heroes, and sometimes redeemed villains. It borrows some of these qualities from beloved 80s-90s classics like Wheel of Time but moves significantly faster.There must also be a reason why she chose to knight him and why she’s also implied to be a better ruler than her husband.

Empire feels like you’re a kid and your mum has bumped into her boring friend at the supermarket and he won’t stop talking. My dude, if the first book is this long (I'm half way through exactly and have been at it literally all day), then how chucky will the trilogy be? We still have some of the best stuff from first: Gabe and Dior's complex relationship, deep world building, bloody action all over the place, underdog characters you just can't help but root for, villains you want to behead yourself, and a little humor to light the gritty world we're transported to.

It is a book that gives so much context to the world that these characters inhabit and puts time and energy into developing a satisfying build-up to the final book. The tale sweeps into the second wave of the story right where we left off with the same addicting and rich storytelling. First, we have the present day, where Gabriel is forced to tell his story to his captor: Jean-François. First things first, the biggest thank you to Harper Collins for sending me a proof copy of this book.

Every character, every scene - even setting, which plays a huge role the story - are ramped up to 1,000. Like the fact that we spend hundreds of pages, listening to Gabe explain why he will never touch a drop of drink. I read this arc straight after completing a re-read of book one, and so I can confidently say book one is my favourite.Granted, you were a little interested at first, but now the supermarket is closing and he’s not heard the tannoy announcing they need to close soon. It was everything I was hoping for and you best believe I’m purchasing it the day it releases to finish it! To have been able to see myself in a character as timely as my own grief occurred was… somewhat indescribable.
