A review by purple_reads
King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

This is my favourite book from Bardugo so far!

I absolutely loved finally getting to read Zoya and Nikolai’s POVs!

The pacing for this one was good, it definitely got so much better during the second third and it began to get interesting no matter which POV I was reading. At one point, I got too excited and didn’t want to stop.

I enjoyed learning more about Zoya and Nikolai’s backstory; I absolutely love these two characters.

The characterisation stayed consistent throughout and this is something I really love about Bardugo’s writing.

Really, I should’ve seen that plot twist at the end. Of course, it would happen again.

-0.25 for that first chapter and those Nina chapters which I could barely get through at the start.

Stars ~ 4.75
