Dark Triumph by Robin LaFeversMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really really loved Sybella, the plot twists, her revulsion within herself about so many things (being a member of the D'Albret family) but for as low as she got (she would have been willing to kill/die herself) she always HOPED for a better life as a person and Mortain's Assassin. This 2nd book continued the Anne of Brittany story and the machinations of D'Albret to woo Anne, then probably kill her, etc - because this is how he works. He is such a scheming lowlife but he uses fear, punishment and yes, even death (he likes to hurt people) to get what he wants regardless. But Sybella continues where Ismae left off in the first book, as a spy and assassin, for Mortain and the abbess (I really can't stand her and want her gone by the 3rd book!!!) There was so much angst because Sybella's family life is truly horrific but it is her chance of seeing the Beast of Waroch across the battlefield that changes her life and oh did I love his character and how his strength and courage and sheer goodness begin to effect hope and love into her life. Such a great story, looking forward to the last book in the series, already got it from the library! Thank you to #yearofya for challenging me to read this most awesome series!!!!
