The longevity of the footnotes ended up being distracting to my reading immersion, and this was especially true in the first half of the book. I’m talking about one or two pages long footnotes. This is still true in Godsgrave, but admittedly, the footnotes in this installment were often too long to my liking.
Also, I’ve mentioned in my Nevernight review that the footnotes didn’t bother me they were entertaining and they provided insights into the world-building of Itreya. Although familiar faces and characters-such as Mister Kindly and Eclipse-still played a huge role, many previous characters only appeared briefly there were a lot of new characters introduced in this installment and for the majority of the time, Mia spent her time with them rather than the characters from the first book. Almost the entirety of the book revolved around a new mission: Mia’s struggle to win the gladiatorial collegium for a chance to complete her unfinished revenge. Nevernight was a revenge story with a battle-school setting Godsgrave is the continuation to that revenge story without any of the battle-school trope. Godsgrave didn’t start off easy for me to get into. The story still follows our beloved ruthless assassin, Mia Corvere, as she continues her journey for vengeance. “That’s the power of words twenty six little letter can paint a whole universe” I applaud The Droogs who finished Godsgrave before or around its publication date, thank you for your sacrifice may the Lady of Blessed Murder bless your patience.
