sydneywalczewski 's review for:

Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

3.0

---

For all of the buildup the series was leading to, I was left disappointed. The epilogue was really satisfying and made me emotional, but that’s the only time I felt like I cared about any of the characters (besides Nikolai). It was a decent series and I’m glad I read it, but I was feeling underwhelmed while reading most of the time. The ending was wrapped up WAY too quickly, in my opinion.
