Mortal Heart (His Fair Assassin)

A beautiful finale for the His Fair Assassin series.This is Annith's story. While Ismae's hovered around the political intrigues and Sybella's focused more on the action / war, Annith has a journey that covered more of the world and the gods—which pushes this book slightly a bit more onto the fantasy realm. It has a slow start as it takes a while before Annith can join Ismae and Sybella in Rennes, but it answers a lot of questions and brings a nice conclusion to the conflict between Brittany and France.Similarly to [b:Grave Mercy 9565548 Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) Robin LaFevers https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320269319s/9565548.jpg 14452295] and [b:Dark Triumph 9943270 Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin, #2) Robin LaFevers https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346852168s/9943270.jpg 14836636], Mortal Heart holds a lot of twists. Some of them I saw coming, like Annith's connection to the abbess, but some others completely took me by surprise. Especially the identity of Annith's father. The twists were brilliantly written, and I was greatly pleased as everything fell into place. As far as the romance goes, this one is definitely my favorite from all three books... though I'm 100% biased to Balthazaar and his nature.It was a fun, emotional ride. Robin LaFevers has built a charming world, with the perfect mix of fantasy and history, and this series easily made its way into my all-time favorites.
