Also, HANNE???? My god I adore him. If we get a third crow book (which we better do, have you read the ending?) I demand to see more of him.
Once again, Bardugo also made me sob. I just feel like she got the hang of it again, after kos. She gripped my feelings and soul the way kos failed to, but the other books in the series also do. I’m so happy she bounced back.
Rule of Wolves isn’t Bardugos best in my opinion, but it absolutely is up par with the rest of the Grishaverse (besides kos, which was saddly dissapointing). The only technical problem I have with this book is that

It left you on a slight cliffhanger where the author has the option too write where she left off if she chooses too. Amazing book, amazing series, amazing author!

This book follows Nikolai, Zoya, and Nina as they prepare for battle against Fjerda and struggle to keep Ravka from toppling under the weight of civil unrest and royal conspiracies. We see a deep dive into the cultures of both Fjerda and the Shu Han, which I found super intriguing (who knew the Shu had such a rich, feminist history??). I absolutely adored seeing Nikolai and Zoya’s relationship blossom, as well as Nina and Hanne’s. Nikolai is one of my most beloved characters, and this book just made me adore him even more. I was so excited to read about his and Zoya’s sojourn to Ketterdam, which ended up being the perfect cherry-on-top for this book. I literally fell out of my seat multiple times over the course of the story, and if that’s not a sign of a good plot, I don’t know what is!
Moderate: Death and Violence
Minor: Sexual harassment and Drug use
