"It is a truth individually acknowledged that if a major story moment is going to happen while I'm listening to anything by Leigh Bardugo, it will happen just as I park my car as I get to work."
Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom, King of Scars, and now Rule of Wolves, have all managed to send me into work in a state of shock at least once - occasionally still crying.
There are plot lines in here that I don't think were needed, but they weren't enough to take away from the rating or change the fact that I loved this one. I have a friend (hi Drew) who said this is probably his second favorite Grishaverse book (after Six of Crows) and I have to agree.

Nikolai had promised to do better, to build something new. But in the end, all his inventions and diplomacy had come down to this: a brawl in the dirt.
