grilledcheetah 's review for:

Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
4.0

4.5 What if... what if I said this fights SOC for best book...someone would attack me I know it. it was just straight up action the entire time, so much so that I finished it in one day? That's crazy what was I on. Anyway, I also love Nikolai and just all of the characters. They felt like they all got their storylines wrapped up and the way I ALMOST LOST MY MIND AT THE END...WHEN...WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED I WAS SCREAMING. It just gripped me like no other and I was somehow surprised at the direction it turned. I didn't think this series would ever do it for me, but I'm happy to say that I finally understand the hype.

It just felt like it was such a satisfying end to the conclusion.

This doesnt change the fact that I dont understand the hype for the darkling though like that is not man.
