"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.

7th book of January 2023 and 7th of the year:
I’m proud of myself because I read multiple books that were very long this month, and in a short amount of time if I may add, and I hope that I continue on with this trend throughout the year!
It was so nice to be back in this world as I wait for Shadow and Bone season 2! It had strong and lovable complex characters, great writing and world-building, beautiful relationships and friendships, witty dialogue, and well-written and engaging fight scenes. Six of Crows is still my favorite series in this world, but I still enjoyed this a lot and recommend the Grishaverse as a whole! Also, the sounds I let out when the crows were mentioned were alarming😂(and that’s not a spoiler because one of the point of view narrators is a crow).
