A review by nivi_a
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

3.75

Best one in the triology. The plot and the twists (even though there were hints for some) were so good. 

I started rooting for Mal in the start and that put me in a dilemma. Mal couldn't be with Alina until she loses her powers and I didn't know how that could happen without destroying her brain.

The ending was perfect.

Darkling's death was done in the perfect way.

Thank the Saints (🤭) Alina didn't end up with Nikolai. And thank the Saints he didn't die. I liked his character but there was literally no romantic connect between those two.
