The opening page for example has the chronicler apologise for the ‘state’ the reader was left in at the end of Godsgrave and that they ‘seemed quite upset’ (which was true) and later on comments such as ‘it’s actually not a bad read. One of my absolute favourite things that I have discovered about Jay Kristoff’s writing through completing The Nevernight Chronicle is how hilariously self-aware he is. Darkdawn is the promised crescendo of Mia’s story and it does not disappoint. Darkdawn is a brilliant conclusion to the trilogy, it answers every question, ties off every loose thread, and does so in a witty, violent, and thoroughly engrossing way. The concluding volume of The Nevernight Chronicle has cemented the view in my mind that Jay Kristoff deserves to be placed among the great grimdark authors.
