A review by mothjor
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

adventurous slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

i just hate the ending so much. 
alina passes three whole books trying to be a better grisha just to give it up in the end.
 
nikolai and his crew are the only lovable characters, because the rest of them are full of ya tropes done in a boring way.
