The Darkling rules from his shadow throne while a weakened Alina Starkov recovers from their battle under the dubious protection of the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Saint.The nation’s fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army. Now with a stunning new cover and exclusive bonus material: The Demon in the Wood (a Darkling prequel story) and a Q&A with Leigh Bardugo. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Sarah J.
Enter the Grishaverse with book three of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by number one New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo. I've heard mixed things about that duology but I'm crossing my fingers that I'll like it.See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with Shadow and Bone, now a Netflix original series. But also - Nikolai and Zoya are my two favorite characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, so I do intend to read King of Scars and Rule of Wolves for them. So yeah, I really liked this! This was honestly such a good ending to Alina's story that I'm a little nervous to start the Nikolai duology. Now, about the ending, since that's apparently a heated topic in the book community.
But now that Alina really came into her own and really is a match for the Darling, I just - listen I understand objectively that Mal's the best for her but I WANT AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE ALINA AND THE DARKLING RULE RAVKA TOGETHER IN VILLAINY Like their first scene together in this book - HELLO?! Even as a Reylo stan, I never totally got the appeal of Darklina because the power dynamic was so imbalanced. While I liked that Mal and Alina were endgame, I was also screaming at certain Darklina scenes. It's action-packed, engaging, and you really can tell how much Leigh Bardugo grew as a writer throughout the Shadow and Bone trilogy alone.
A great conclusion to the trilogy! I think I liked Siege and Storm just a little better, but Ruin and Rising was honestly a close second.
