Nona, however, has made as many enemies as friends over the years at Sweet Mercy-powerful ones who will not be content until she is completely destroyed. Her talents make her perfect for the next stage of her studies, Mystic Class, in which she and her fellow classmates will learn to unlock the secrets of the universe. It’s now time for Nona to choose a path-but so much has changed since her arrival at the convent, it is quite unclear where the future will take her anymore.


A couple of years have passed since the end of the first novel, and our protagonist finds herself advancing through the ranks at the Convent of Sweet Mercy, which has been her home since she was eight years old after being rescued from the hangman’s noose by Abbess Glass. The saga of Nona Grey continues in the second novel of the Book of the Ancestor series, Grey Sister. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher.
