Leigh Bardugo brought the Shadow and Bone trilogy to a fantastic end that is beautifully balanced in tragedy and happiness. Her writing gives vibrant visuals of the Grishaverse, along with a great story arc to Alina as she seeks out the balance in responsibility with her own desires for how her life will turn out. Very excited to continue on with the Grishaverse in the Six of Crows duo!
