"Most of us can hide our greatest hurts and longings. It’s how we survive each day. We pretend the pain isn’t there, that we are made of scars instead of wounds."
- Leigh Bardugo (King of Scars)
This next book in the Grishaverse takes place after the events of Shadow & Bone and Six of Crows. We follow Nikolai (the Ravkan King), Zoya (the king's commander and powerful Grisha) and Nina (another powerful Grisha on a mission for the king). We follow these characters (and many more from past books) and view Ravka's progress after the war and the shadowfold. After three years of peace, another war is brewing and the king's still under the darkling's curse, long after his demise. Will they be able to save their king and country, or fall apart while trying?
I absolutely loved to be back to the Grishaverse. While it took me weeks to finish this book, the story was so gripping. I loved reading about all the familiar characters from the previous books and from different perspectives.
The story, prose, characters and plot were all amazingly written and I simply can't wait to start reading the second book in this duology.
Love, Melissa
