Synopsis

The second novel in a brilliant fantasy series from the international bestselling author of Prince of Thorns. Behind its walls, the Convent of Sweet Mercy has trained young girls to hone their skills for centuries. In Mystic Class, Novice Nona Grey has begun to learn the secrets of the universe. But so often even the deepest truths just make our choices harder. Before she leaves the convent, Nona must choose which order to dedicate herself to--and whether her path will lead to a life of prayer and service or one of the blade and the fist. All that stands between her and these choices are the pride of a thwarted assassin, the designs of a would-be empress wielding the Inquisition like a knife, and the vengeance of the empire's richest lord. As the world narrows around her, and her enemies attack her through the system she is sworn to, Nona must find her own path despite the competing pulls of friendship, revenge, ambition, and loyalty. And in all this only one thing is certain: there will be blood.

ARC provided by Penguin Random House in exchange for an honest review. 1.)

Goodreads review by Anne on July 02, 2023

All the goddamn stars! This was some of the best authoring I've ever seen. If you had any idea how lazy I've become with books that don't have pictures, then you would realize how unbelievable it was that I couldn't put this one down. As it is, you'll just have to take my word for it. I'm lazy. This w......more

Goodreads review by Petrik on February 28, 2019

An action-packed sequel that offers relatable commentary about faith, corruption, authority, and family. So far, this is the highest and the most positive rating I ever gave to Lawrence’s middle-book installment; I gave both King of Thorns and The Liar’s Key 2.5/5 stars. I am very pleased to say that......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on December 06, 2019

While Red Sister was a slow burn that was well worth its pace, Grey Sister has ascended to all new highs for the Book Of The Ancestor series. One thing I failed to speak on full in my full review ([URL not allowed]), is how creative of a world is being crafted here as well. It seems ever......more
