Our view
“Darkdawn” closes the “Nevernight Chronicle” trilogy by answering its open questions and making the characters live with what they chose. It moves faster than the two earlier volumes, even at more than six hundred pages, and some readers enjoy its self-aware jokes. The tone stays dark, as befits a tale of assassins and revenge.
