King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

SHUT UUUUUP! SHUT UP OH MY GOD. I AM ONCE AGAIN LOSING MY MIND.
As usual, here are some thoughts:

Nikolai: MY BELOVED !!!!!! I LOVED seeing his pov. I can’t form coherent sentences I just. My beloved. I’m obsessed with you

Zoya: SPARE HAND IN MARRIAGE MAAM? Holy shit. Zoya is so cool and talented and learning her story hurt my heart. This was just as much her book as it was Nikolai’s. At times it did feel like it was more focused on her than him actually, but I didn’t mind. I would have liked more Nikolai chapters since the book is literally named after him BUT (!!!) getting to know Zoya was lovely. I’m in love with her now I think. AND THE DRAGON???? HELLOO???????? AHHHHHH

Nina: HJWHSNEVJDBEKSNDLWHWKDHKSBsbsj??? Her story/chapters didn’t really fit in imo but I love her and was so intrigued that, again, I didn’t mind. I can’t wait to see where this is going. Hanne was so cool too but JARL?? JARL????? NOO I HATE IT HERE!!!!! Also the chapter where Nina buried Matthias. I’m fine. I’m not bawling my eyes out again. No

Isaak: My sweet darling boy you didn’t deserve this

The Darkling: FUCKING WHATTTTT!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO GET LOOOOST WHAT THE FUCK KEMSBKABSKSKSAKNDKSBSKSJSJSN

No but for real I am losing my mind and I am so fascinated by all the characters and their motivations, I am so hooked. I’m kind of scared to start Rule of Wolves because I don’t want to finish the Grishaverse books I WANT MORE
