A review by khnleesi
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
medium-paced
3.0
i don’t have the strength to write a full review but just know that the ending was the part i enjoyed the most, just like S&S, (i don’t hate or love it, i simply think that it’s ok) and that i, to my surprise, shred many many tears.
am i glad to be done with this trilogy? incredibly so.
but did i hate it? not so much, no. but i wouldn’t recommend it.
are nikolai lantsov and genya safin the superior characters? absolutely, yes!
my favorite quote out of all the trilogy (also known as 🗣️my last straw🗣️) :
‘𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘰𝘭, 𝘴𝘰 𝘪 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩. “𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘬𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳,” 𝘪 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥. 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘺’𝘴 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦, 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘶𝘱. 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯.’
