There’s just something about her. I cheer for Nona, and I despair for her when things don’t go her way, so of course, this story kept me reading into the wee hours.In this volume, she has moved up to Mystic Class, which is teaching her a lot about the magical thread weaving parts of her skillset while still concentrating on the fighting skills that she has become quite adept at. There’s still classmates that are the mean girls (there are always some), and there are classmates that she has become friends with. Her and her friends do various things with various levels of rule-breaking or bending. Nona has quite a few tricks up her sleeve.There is the addition of a new sort of character in this volume, which was unexpected. His name is Keot, and he is… a mystery… (DUN DUN DUNNNN!) Keot and Nona have a very interesting relationship, which I’ve seen described as similar to the relationship between Fitz and Nighteyes in Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings series, which I do agree with to a point… but to me, it instantly brought to mind the relationship between Mia and Mister Kindly from Nevernight (excepting of course that Mister Kindly is a shadow, and Nona has no shadow). Sort of symbiotic… sorta kinda.Either way, I love love loved the dynamic of the relationship between them. I loved the addition of Keot as a character and that the addition was so unexpected. It added a level of interesting and mystery to a character I already find interesting. We see how Nona combats Keot whispering horrible ideas in her ear. We get a bit of an inner monologue, as it were.Much like Red Sister, this one was really difficult to put down once I started, and is incredibly well written. It’s peppered full of really quotable deep thoughts, is full of all kinds of plot twists and turns. I was surprised numerous times, to the point where I audibly gasped (this barely ever happens guys). Best of all, it has characters that I either love to love or love to hate. Nothing like a character that you love to love going up against a character you love to hate, amirite? The last 1/4 of this book was quite simply unputdownable.And at the same time as all these shenanigans between Nona and everyone else are going on, we continue to get little glimpses into the real story about this really unique world, the people called the Missing who once lived on it, and the falling moon that’s the only thing keeping the ice at bay.Very awesome read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantasy with a hint of space opera *by M***S on December 24, 2020* Humans have built lives on another planet - albeit one revolving around a dying (red) star. Somehow, over the centuries, different tribes of humans have developed differing magical powers. Moreover, because the star is in its late stages, the planet is mostly ice-covered, with a narrow band at the equator that is still habitable. The ice is advancing, although rather more rapidly than the eon-long death of a red giant (based on what I know of astrophysics).Meanwhile, the story's protagonist, None, an orphan, lives in a convent, getting training in her selected area of magic and in various weapons. She has to deal with friends, rivals and a demon inside her who constantly tempts her to kill people at inconvenient times. (Fortunately, she's strong enough to resist, mostly.) The plot thickens when she's sent on a mission to retrieve some artifact from the spaceships that brought the humans there. There are supposedly four of these gadgets, and if they are collected, something significant will happen (the reader will probably find out in a subsequent volume).Lawrence has constructed a detailed, internally credible world, with plenty of intrigue, plots, deceit, betrayals, religious and political conflict to keep up the lively pace. Things get a bit contrived toward the climax: a load of just-in-time, last-minute explosions to save None and turn the tide. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable read and I'm motivated to continue with the series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So entertaining - As good as the first book! *by L***A on April 20, 2025* Mark Lawrence has built an interesting world with great characters. The second book is as compelling as the first. Can’t wait to start the third book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Grey Sister (Book of the Ancestor) - Holy Sister (Book of the Ancestor) - Red Sister (Book of the Ancestor) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/96373210-grey-sister-book-of-the-ancestor](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/96373210-grey-sister-book-of-the-ancestor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
