A review by tales_of_monika
King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

4.0

The Grishaverse has won me over completely. This time I'm talking about King of Scars.

Ever since I read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom I began liking the world of grisha much more and I'm happily learning about the adventures of the characters, both the ones introduced in previous books and the new ones.

The book grabbed my attention from the very first chapter. Here we learn about the fate of characters such as Nikolai and Zoya, as well as Nina Zenik. Although I didn't like it as much as the other grisha books, I must say that it's a pleasure to read. The tension is kept throughout the book and there are a few tear-jerking moments.

There were a few moments where it was really easy to predict what would happen next and I think that the author went overboard on one major part of the storyline, but when it comes to the ending I was completely and utterly shocked.
