A review by confusedvonne
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

Both a great and sad ending to the series.

I enjoyed the exploration of the many characters that were introduced in the last two books. I feel they were more flushed out. But the Darkling was lacking a little, both in character development and presence in the text.

Reading the short story at the end about the Darklings childhood was very nice, it said more than what we are given in the series. I only wish there was more, whether we got that from the book itself or in a different series just on the Darkling.

The ending was beautiful both in a good and sad way. It actually made in cry!! It could of ended in two different ways, but I think the choice Bardugo made was perfect.

It was a good end to this series / for Alina.
I can see myself re-reading this series many times over!
