The three books in this trilogy are called Nevernight, Godsgrave, and Darkdawn. They are worth reading.
   In one sense, they are nothing new. Hero (heroine, actually) learns fighting skills while on the pursuit of revenge, meets various warrior friends and enemies, battles through to the end. Does she succeed in balancing her difficult life? You'll have to read the books to see.
  A couple of things make the story stand out. One, the author has great fun inserting footnotes addressed to the reader. They are almost all cynical and amusing. Two, there's a certain amount of sex described in close-up detail, making this definitely an adult fantasy. And three, the heroine is rather different from many heroes I've read about in very many fantasies.
   I enjoyed all three books. It took me a little while to get into Book 1, but once I was there, I read away quite happily. I didn't like the ending of Book 3, which is a shame, since everything else works very well.
   Verdict? Yes, worth a few pounds to get this and add it to your collection.
