Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

I really enjoyed the finale of this trilogy. The whole series was such a quick read. I love all the characters. I can't want to read the Six of Crows duology and King of Scars next year. I am intrigued to see how many characters will overlap in the new stories.
Alina as a character has grown so much. She felt so empty in the original book and in this one she was strong but also vulnerable. I think all the characters improved (including Mal.)
