Book du jour: Grave Mercy

by Robin LaFevers

I bear a deep red stain that runs from my left shoulder down to my right hip, a trail left by the herbwitch’s poison that my mother used to try to expel me from her womb. 

Teenaged assassin nuns find danger and romance in 15^th century Brittany. The first in a series (seems to be a trend with my reading lately).  Great execution (so to speak) of a terrific hook. I raced right through this book, even though I should probably be taking care of a thousand and one moving details during Cabin Boy’s precious naptime. Would highly recommend for fans of historical fiction as well as fantasy.
