Review: RUIN AND RISING by Leigh Bardugo

RUIN AND RISING

(The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #3)

Leigh Bardugo

BLURB

The Grishaverse will be coming to Netflix soon with Shadow and Bone, an original series!

Enter the Grishaverse with Book Three of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom.

Soldier. Summoner. Saint. The nation’s fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.

The Darkling rules from his shadow throne while a weakened Alina Starkov recovers from their battle under the dubious protection of the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Now her hopes lie with the magic of a long-vanished ancient creature and the chance that an outlaw prince still survives.

As her allies and enemies race toward war, only Alina stands between her country and a rising tide of darkness that could destroy the world. To win this fight, she must seize a legend’s power—but claiming the firebird may be her ruin.

★★★

Ruin and Rising is the conclusion to the trilogy. Unforatently, my interest waned in this book and I began waiting for the book to end. I didn’t love or hate it. I’m more indifferent about it. By the middle of the book, I realized I wasn’t that invested anymore on what happened to the characters.

I’ll be curious to see what Netflix does with this series.
