Das ist mein Lieblings Grishaverse-Buch. Der erste Band von King of Scars hat mich nicht so wirklich gepackt, aber der hat es echt wettgemacht. 
Ich fand das Ende echt gut. 
Hanne/Rasmus und Nina sind meine Lieblings Storyline. Bin super froh, dass sie zusammengekommen sind. Der Plottwist am Ende war super. Ich mag die beiden mehr als Mathias und Nina. Außerdem bin ich begeistert, dass es eine Transperson in der Geschichte gab.

Mayu, Ehri und ihre Schwester fand ich als Charaktere super spannend.
Außerdem bin ich ein riesiger Zoya-Fan
sie als Zarin passt perfekt
Aber irgendwie konnte ich mich nie wirklich mit Nikolais Charakter anfreunden. 
ich war echt traurig als David starb. Die Arme Genya. Ich fand auch toll wie viele Charaktere aus vorherigen Büchern vorkamen

Ein würdiger Abschluss für das Grishaverse.

Beyond perfect catharsis  read to continue  and finish reading the last books in the Grishaverse. I loved and wanted to hug every character. All of them had essential roles and dealt with a lot in this duology. But I loved every second of it. The good and bad moments  of this Ravka's leaders.

I absolutely loved this book so much!! The characters are just so incredibly diverse which I really appreciate. I love all of the representation that are in these books. 

This book seemed to be a culmination of different Grisha books. I loved getting to see these characters all come together in such a fantastic way. 

I’m a little schooled though because I came in expecting this to be the end, but I should have known that this world is probably never going to end. I’m going to need the next book pronto after that cliffhanger. 

Overall, this was a fantastic addition to the Grishaverse.

This book tore my heart to shreds and then pieced it back together again. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. I’m glad to be able to say wholeheartedly that the grishaverse will always be there to welcome me home

If you follow me on Instagram, I think you'll understand that I loved this book. I was looking forward to it, and it is, I think, my favourite reading of 2021 so far. The worldbuilding is still going strong, and I was more than happy to see (finally!) all parts of this world coming together. We end up with alliance systems, betrayals, undercover spies. Being a history student, I am "used" to reading and analyzing this type of relationship. And I have to say that I really felt like it was all real!

The evolution of the characters is just as excellent: some continue to move forward despite the difficulties, others realize who they really are. Some leave us, some return, some set off again, some question themselves, and understand. We meet new people, we find missing people, and it was not easy to finish this book and let them all go.

The plot is incredible and very well-paced. I had found King of Scars a bit long at times, a bit flat, but now I realize that was only to better set the stage for Rule of Wolves. The story was catchy. I was breathless with each page, the plot twists are numerous, but it is real happiness. I also really liked the multitude of points of view! Yet, I prefer first-person narratives, but that didn't stop me from delving into the characters' heads. I've seen people criticize this multiplication of the points of view. But honestly, when you have such a huge map, you have to have multiple points of view. In this kind of plot, it's all the more interesting; because some characters sometimes find themselves with information of the utmost importance to other characters. And you see them struggling to try to give the others an update. That's incredible!

Leigh's writing is as incredible as ever. She is really a model for me, and she is my favourite author of all time! I, of course, really recommend this book. Leigh did an excellent job, and I'm so proud of her. I can't wait to read more of her books!
