Ruin and Rising (Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #3) (Grishaverse, #3)

by Leigh Bardugo

[ibeforem]

As this final book opens, the stakes in the fight between Light and Dark are higher than ever. The Darkling has taken over, and Alina, Mal, and Nikolai are on the run. Hiding deep underground under the protection of the Apparat and his followers, Alina knows she must heal and get stronger before she can take on the Darkling again, except there is one big problem. Her powers have been greatly diminished, and getting back to the surface and exposing herself once again seems to be the only solution.

There is a lot that happens in this book, but I thought everything wrapped up in a satisfying way. This was a much stronger trilogy than I expected it to be, and I would definitely read something by Bardugo in the future.
