If you were excited about reading the third and final book of Leigh Bardugo‘s Grisha trilogy, then this may make you even more excited, if that’s possible. Kirkus Reviews posted their review of Ruin and Rising, and as it gave a brief description about what’s to come for Alina Starkov the rest of the characters in the book, they said this about Leigh:
She is most successful at delineating Alina’s internal conflict as she struggles to balance love for Mal against both pragmatism and fondness for Nikolai, desire for peace and justice against naked lust for power. Secondary characters truly come into their own here, particularly the ragtag band of Alina’s Grisha, in whose friendship she finds salvation. Every time readers may think she’s written herself into a corner, Bardugo pulls off a twist that, while surprising, will keep them turning pages furiously.
Triumphant.
High praise, I have to say. I definitely can’t wait to get my hands on this book! How about you?
Ruin and Rising is scheduled for release on June 17, 2014.
