A corruption that has gone long unnoticed and even thrived under the rulers. But there is also a deep rot in the system. There are riches to be found, both in terms of wealth as well as the beauty of the grand structures that are highlighted in the book. The world of The Nevernight Chronicles is heavily influenced by the Roman empire, towards the beginning of its downfall. While in Nevernight, the world was largely limited to the Ashkahi wastelands and the Red Church, Godsgrave goes beyond to the world outside, the rich cities of the Itreyan empire. The pace in Godsgrave felt faster than the previous book’s and the scope of the book is also broader. The world is as rich as ever and the cast of characters keeps growing and most are people that you can’t help but root for and it’s a pity because, it’s a given that most will not survive the end. I literally just finished the book and I’m reeling from it. I tried pacing myself but it was virtually impossible. If Nevernight took me time to get used to the writing style and the world, I jumped right into Godsgrave and didn’t come up for air till I finished it. Where do I even begin with Godsgrave? To say that Jay Kristoff revels in the misery of his readers would be an understatement (and I mean that in the best sense possible).
