This is a trilogy, comprising Nevernight, Godsgrave and Darkdawn. It took me a little while to get into it, as I was thinking, hey ho, here we are with another swords and sorcery fantasy story. But I soon discovered it is more than that. 
   The heroine of the story is complex and compelling; there’s more to the plot than you might think; and the world-building is very believable.
I confess I wasn’t convinced by the ending – but no spoilers here. You’ll just have to read it for yourself. And I think I can safely recommend the series, even for crusty old fantasy readers like me.
