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

by Leigh Bardugo

*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 number one New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Sarah J. Maas.

Now with a stunning new cover and exclusive bonus material: The Demon in the Wood (a Darkling prequel story) and a Q&A with Leigh Bardugo.

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.

ALL THE STARS!!!

I can't ... the narration ... the story ... THE FUCKING FEELS MAN.

I haven't wanted to cry so hard from a book in I don't know how long. HOLY SHIT.

HOLY.

SHIT.

I don't think I have the proper words to explain this book; this series. If you are on the fence, just read it. If you think you won't like it, give it a shot. If you stumble across this "review" then buy this book. I don't know what else to tell you expect once you read this, I am here for you. Seriously, email me, message me, hell, I'd even give out my phone number so we can discuss this story.

*holds all of you in my arms*
