Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
5.0
Wow
Leigh Bardugo has crafted an amazing tale, and she saved the best for last.
As a reader, you see the shift in her writing for each book; the Grishaverse evolves and fills in, inferences are confirmed, and characters become fully developed.
I had loved that first two books didn’t spend a lot of time building the Grishaverse. The reader was dropped into the story and it was easy to just fill in the blanks. In this final book, Bardugo takes her time to craft the finale, while keeping the story engaging and building tension.
While suspicions I had regarding certain characters were validated, it’s what kept me from putting the book down.
It’s been a long time since I’ve found myself completely absorbed into book series and I am feeling kind of sad now that I’m done reading all the books!
