This is the third, and I believe the final, book in the His
Fair Assassin series. Annith has been at
the convent at St. Mortain since she was a baby. Although she has not shown any special skills
that Mortain’s daughters often have, she is exceedingly skilled in everything
that it is possible for her to learn. No
one rides or shoots better than she and she has learned all she can about
poisons and knives as well. However, the
abbess will not send her out on a mission and is sending out other girls before
they are ready, Annith fears. Then
Annith comes to find out that the abbess plans to have her become the next
seeress. Annith is flabbergasted. She has never shown any aptitude for seeing
and believes that her skills would be wasted.
Not to mention, she doesn’t want to be shut up for the rest of her life
as the seeress must be. Therefore, she
makes a plan and leaves the convent, following the abbess who has been called
away. Her plan is to confront the abbess
and find out why she has made these decisions that seem to make no sense. Annith may get her answers but she may not
like what she finds out. This was a good
conclusion to this trilogy. Pretty much
all of the ends are tied up and I was very satisfied with how everything turned
out. I really enjoyed this series and I
think this might have been my favorite book in the trilogy. Teens that like historical novels with a
little fantasy and adventure will like this series.
