Reviews with content warning for Fatphobia - Rule of Wolves

One of my fav grishaverse books! so many things happened in these book and emotions were all over the place. Love the couples featured in this book and the backstories (especially zoya). The book kind of leaves off with the potential of it being continued (idk if it actually will though)

Rule of Wolves was a lot. There is just so much crammed into one book. It really felt like it should have either been cut back and only included the main characters ie Zoya, Nikolai and Nina or split into two volumes, making it a trilogy, because the story goes to different regions, friend and foe. They’re not only trying to fight and win a war, but also trying to rescue their Grisha brethren as well. The story does almost tie up to a nice conclusion right up until the very end where Bardugo throws in one last hook, looking like there might actually be another book, but sadly I am done.

Guys,,, this is the best grishaverse book!!! I gotta say it. It's SO GOOD. All of the characters are so great and have such amazing depth, and the plot kept taking crazy turns that I never expected. I had a lot of expectations for this book, because while I loved King of Scars, it felt a bit like it was just setting up for whatever was going to happen next. Rule of Wolves made up for all of that. While in KoS, Nina's chapters felt a bit slow at times, in this book they were just as exciting as the rest of the POVs. So much was happening in every part of the story, and I felt like I was being kept on my toes constantly.
Also, the ROMANCE???? Nikolai and Zoya were so CUTE!! They were just perfect and I loved getting to see their relationship develop. There were other romances that I don't wanna spoil, and they were also very cute!!
I was very satisfied with the conclusion of this duology, and while I do love the grishaverse, I hope that this will be the final book in the universe. It all just wrapped up so well and it would put all of that at risk if there were more books added.
I could probably go on and on about all of the great things in this book, but I don't want to risk any spoilers, so I will just say this: Nikolai and Zoya are both perfect. The end.
