I feel like this world just gets more and more intricate with every book. It's so good! I love this world and these characters so much. I was stressed throughout most of this book because I was constantly scared that something bad was going to happen.
I loved the introduction of new characters. I'm excited to see this develop in the sequel.

Okay I know that everyone loves the <i>Six of Crows</i> duology best in the Grishaverse but...I think I might actually prefer <i>King of Scars</i> and <i>Rule of Wolves</i> (review to come)! This book started out a little slow but picked right up and then I could NOT put it down. The tension between Nikolai and Zoya is immaculate, and literally any scene with Nikolai bantering with one of his friends makes my heart explode. Even more than that (if that’s possible), I loved Nina’s storyline as she deals with her grief and throws herself headlong into every dangerous situation she can find.
Happy ending meter (no specific spoilers, just the general vibe of the ending):
Moderate: Addiction, Blood, Death, Murder, Pregnancy, and Xenophobia
Minor: Abandonment, Alcohol, Animal cruelty, Animal death, Body horror, Cancer, Child abuse, Drug use, Fire/Fire injury, Forced institutionalization, Gaslighting, Kidnapping, Medical trauma, Miscarriage, Physical abuse, Police brutality, Religious bigotry, Sexism, Sexual assault, Suicidal thoughts, Torture, Violence, and Vomit
